Ebay HPS Light
the additional vertical tubes may help undergrowth, yes ... not really 'overkill', but more than most feel necessary ...

note: the HPS you're referring to, on eBay, is a 'refurbished unit', and has no protective hood, or means of cooling ... but, it's inexpensive, you may be able, to do well with it ... I prefer this kind of setup, but of course, their 'economy' 400-watt 'Switchable' ballast (Metal Halide + HPS) setup, would run you about $230 + shipping ... it has a 5-yr warranty ballast, an (optional) enclosed hood, with air-duct fittings on the ends, and tempered glass ... comes with a bulb, too ...

Discount Hydroponics - ValuLine Lighting

'Discount Hydroponics' is my current source ... I've only used them twice, but they were really on the ball, I had no problem communicating with them, regarding my orders :thumbsup: ... they're in southern California, so shipping costs could be a factor ... they do ship discreetly ... be sure to scroll down, and read their Customer Reviews ... I like that, about their website ... good luck growing :smokin:
