not really. a 1000watt setup would be ridiculous if it were a grand. prices for lumatek ballast with hood and cord, hortilux bulb: 600watt = around $400, 1000w = around $500. they run cool and quiet and more electricity efficient than traditional magnetic ballasts and put out more lumens with a soft start so it is better on bulb life
cigarettes42 Reviewed by cigarettes42 on . Are either of these HPS systems worth even using (for the money)? There are two HPS systems I am looking at on ebay. I have read a lot on this forum about how ebay has only crap for sale. So, are these light systems crap? Would either of them be suitable (and worth their price) to grow a 4'x2' screen of green/sea of green? Could I use a 250w setup instead? I may use 48" dual fluoro fixtures for side lighting as well? Ebay links to the two systems are on the bottom. OR is there an online store that I can go to in order to get all the parts I need Rating: 5
