You'd better call the store I use at 1-888-449-2739. I was there today and they've now got 1000 watt switchable HPS/MH fixtures+ballasts+cordsets, with bulb, on clearance for $200. They sell online, so I'm sure they'd be willing to ship. That'll defintely be under your price limit. Hope this is a help to you :-)
mountainman Reviewed by mountainman on . did I get a good deal? Well, I went to the hydroponic store yesterday hoping to find a good deal on some new lighting. They had a 400 watt HPS system on clearance for $170. I got the reflector, cordset, bulb, and ballast for that. I'm pretty sure that's a great deal...is it? Rating: 5
