Skitzo, that's the same setup I was mentioning for $169, of course ya have shipping and possibly sales tax in addition, so your $120 deal could be a good opportunity ... figure in the shipping, could be $$$, ballasts are heavy ... that ballast, although a cheap one, is usually sold with a 5-year guarantee, same as my more expensive one ... I'd guess it should hold up pretty well, just try to place your ballast in a cool area, they get pretty warm ... :smokin:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper on . What to look for when buying a HPS light? Local person on craigslist is selling a 400w HPS bulb, ballast, and hood for $120. Says the condition is good and the light works great. What I want to know, what should I look for when buying a HPS light? Should I just go ahead and get it while I can? Will the bulb be good for vegging & flowering, becuz I thought I read somewhere else that you can get a different HPS bulb so its better for flowering or vegging(i 4get which one) Rating: 5
