I'm building my own light...Would you like to watch?

[latewood]

sure, that would be great...
Can I add something later...like when I finish ballast box?

and you have to remove the words/phrases... Great timing Rasta, In answer to your question........in the next to last thread, where I replied to RastaKaze'///Thanks Z...
I hope this will help some folks

[Garden Knowm]

I applaud you ... WOW.....

[latewood]

This got posted wrong; as a subpost or something...let me know If I messed up the faq, Z... http://boards.cannabis.com/showthrea...342#post402342

This should be last post of HOW-TO, for now...

[Zandor]

I can't edit posts only when they are moved I can remove the whole post of people to make a better FAQ. Just let me know when this is done but don't do it in your last post because I cant remove it.

[latewood]

OK, I have on more post, it will be #15 It is pix of light in bow...ignition and connector I need for frame #8 pic 2...
DELETE posts 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14

KEEP posts 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 (this is RastaKaze's post...I want to keep it, because he asked a very pertinent question, that I later answered...in order for the faq to make since, I decided to keep it in, OK), 7, 8, 15 (last post)

That should do it Z, thanks, it is an honor to contribute something to the faq

1. One of these...so, open the box, be sure not to touch the glass with your fingers!!! The oil will heat up and BAM...NO FACE! ...Screw in Lamp...

2. Ignition + 000:05.587 seconds and counting...

3. Is this yellow or what?

4. flexcable connector; need to connect cable to box...(frame#8 pic.2)

5. Here is where it would go, if I weren't using my light at this time

I will be making adjustments and modification's in short order...
That is all for now, I look forward to your comments/question's about this assembly...All Jerkoff's need not reply...just kidding...roflmao

Cost approximately; 230 bucks!...Better quality than alot of pre-assembled lights out there/EYE Hortilux lamp to boot...

Time to build; 2 hours
Total project time so far...(including posting this for you all) 8hours

So, any of you, that take threads like this for granted, consider; I built this lamp for me!!!...I took pictures and posted them for Growers on this forum
that would like to have a better lighting system, but don't know where to start...Or just can't quite afford the nice system, and are afraid to order a ballast kit...
I ordered this pre-wired ballast kit and ceramic mogul base from BGHydro.com They have a live chat feature on their website and will talk you through the wiring process, if necessary, and without any charge at all...How about that for service after the sale?
electrical components came from TruValue...

Project difficulty rating...1-10 (5) (could be lower, but electricity freaks out some people), thanks for taking the time to view my HOW-TO

watch for part B to this faq as I modify/perfect this set-up; add electrical box

Great job dude! too bad you couldn't have made this thread before I sent almost $1000 money order lol......according to what you just built I could have gotten the same thing myself,and would have saved atleast $500 bucks.......damn it lol stuff like this always happens to me dude!...great job though,,, maybe youl'l save some other guy out there a chunk of cash!

[Mellow Man]

my 1000w mh kit!...with sunmaster cool bulb $400 with shipping,my 1000w hps kit with Hortilux Bulb with shipping $400 bucks........$800 total......plus my other 1000wHPS I already have $400..........WOW! you could have this same set up minus the reflectors for probably $600 bucks total!.................

[latewood]

I could say...anytime you want something...contact me at hushmail and I will try to hook you up...I build everything...check the Mad Science Aero thread I started in Hydro forum...finished system last night, but it was too powerful, so I have to add a pressure relief valve to tame down my airflow...any, thanks to all...
