Yup as titled. A friend of mine works for his dads company and they do city electrical work. They have about four dozen old street lights laying in their garbage pile. He took a look one day and saw that they were 400W HPS lights. So tonight we went and brought back home one and I wired it to a regular outlet and wired it so it doesnt use the daytime sensor. Walla! I couldnt believe it, my first HPS light, and it cost me nothing! Heh, im just so happy I dont have to use those mercury vapor lights now. I have one of my little babies being tested with the light in the pics. The other pics are some pics of the street lamp. Soo what do ya think?

Oh btw and I have reflectors for these as well, just havent installed or used them yet. Also the plant can be close to the light because thats in my wine cellar, and it has a vent going outside, so the room is a cool temperature and the ballast is seperated.

I thought i saw some MH lights there too, I might get ahold of one of them if I can find the right ballast in the yard with it.
