alright lads and ladies,
Anyone know where cheap lighting can be got in ireland or UK?:confused:
The cheapest iv found for a 600w ballast reflector and relay is about â?¬150 delivered. I know dats not too bad but im a dole head now, cheaper the better ya kno'.
Dont wanna burn me gaf down either though:sorry1:
try basement lighting in the u.k..it might save you a tenner.
but thats a great price man. you wont get a 600 any cheaper..is it duel spectrum(m/h+hps)? if so id grab it.. also check what size the reflector is... a friend of mine bought a 400w hps on line for £120 but the hood was very small and he can only grow 3 plants max..
also dont buy from ebay america even though the prices look fantastic. they work on a different voltage i think..happy hunting
its a euro budget light kit off 3counties hydro in UK, grolux bulb and they say it has CE certification. Does dat mean if i burn my gaff down i can sue CE? Coz iv checked and theres no such country:p
i had a look at them euro light kits on 3 counties hydro site. them sets are only hps or metal halide.. i find using m/h for vegging and hps for flowering ,gets you the best results.. keep checking online for a kit with a ballast thats for hps/mh and you will have a kit that will do for the whole grow. but it might cost you maybe 150 sterling:thumbsup: .......................t
but if your working with a budget id go with the one you were looking at..it wont lasy you a life time but you will get a few grows out of it..
iv got my 7 ladies(wishful thinking lol) vegging under a normal 5' fouorescent seems to be doing the trick, I can get them right down close, theres virtually no heat off them
Im looking for HPS for flowering but thats not gonna be for another few weeks. Im a lighting technician by trade so i was thinking about making up something myself, i hav an electronic ballast that comes out of a Mac250 moving head light, they take a 250w discharge lamp, but im no electrician and i cant ask any of the ones that i do know..they'd be askin too many questions
