I read that piece again on how much electric is use and I didn't see that he was taking about one of those cheap HPS you can get at a hardware store. The one I have uses 5-10% more than the rated watts so that would be as much as 165watts being used not 372watts.

So I will give it a try. Have to make sure the wires are secure and connect a chain to the ballast so I can hold it up. I'll report again once I've got it all iron out. :rastasmoke:

GrowRebel Reviewed by GrowRebel on . Okay is this going to be efficient? Well as you know I got my old 150 W HPS light going again. I did some research and found that the lamp will use almost as much watts as my 430! ..... How much power does my lamp really use? Is this worth it? Also I looked at a chart .... they go by PAR ... (PAR Watts objectively measure the total watts of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) emitted by the lamp. It accounts for the nutritional value and is a direct measure of light energy available for all-important plant Rating: 5
