But the ballasts can cost , from what I have found on the
web, an average around $90 each, so couple the
light and the ballast, and it does add up, what about shipping?
Those ballasts sure are heavy! 20 lbs, easy.
That, coupled with the light, and than you have to put it
together, it isn't very *professional* but some people
take the risk.
I started with that light off of EBAY by the guy selling with the
extra light bulbs....
I just bought a light outfit that needs one 400 HPS ballast,
I am taking that one off and putting it on my new light
system.....he warranties his, and it was safe running when
I was not home, but I am always a little anxious when the
light was on and I was no where to be found, DOH!
I bought that light, and upgraded, now I have more
lights than I know what to do with:
2 250 MH units
1 175 MH unit
1 270 HPS unit
1 800 Watt (400 MH/400 HPS) unit
We are not including the one I got off of ebay,
Ahhhh, Karma has been good to me, the Bud Fairy smiles,
may she smile upon you and wave her magic wand over
your grow and give you the success that I have
been offered!
(Plus, I usually grabbed the lights from EBAY locals selling them,
NO ONE wants to pay shipping!
