Why can't I find a 430W HPS Ballast or kit?

[GrowRebel]

I was wondering about a 430W ballast kit, but the only thing I can find is 400W.

Why is that? .... Does the 400W run the 430W too? How can it power the extra 30W?

Anyone understand what is happening here?

430wttr's what a wack number. lol. it is funny though, my shop carries bulbs but not balast too for them. i guess there the odd man or something, that 30 wtt's really aint something ur missing from a 400. might as well go for a 600. But then again im sure u thought about that. GL, personally i would just get a 400, just becuase i can find a wider selection of bulbs at my store. But i guess it depends on your situation.

I heard the extra 30W of different color light helps .... now I will have to do some research ....
