Now I understand. Actually, this is a good way of doing things because then you can get the cord you want on the fixture you want.

What are you getting for $400?

I paid:

BGH cool tube $ 80
Lamp cord $ 20
cord adaptr $ 13
400w Ballast $180
MH bulb $ 20
________
Total $313

I just looked on BG Hydro and their price on the complete cool tube is $320.With the digital ballast it is $360.

BG Hydro 600w cool tube system.
