Need help with buying lights!

Joeey · 09-12-2009, 07:39 PM

Hey ppl!

Im new to the forum and am looking for some friendly advice (where better to get it than from here).

To cut to the chase im looking for a HPS 600w light, 45k lumens for £230 or less in the UK. Im a noob at buying lights and cant seem to find a decent online seller. Im really not sure even about the prices, im just going by what my bible tells me.

Im really hoping you guys will be able to direct me to a recommended site.

Thanks, Joey!

Lumatek ballasts have a very good reputation, maxibright ballasts are cheaper and very popular.

I bought a 400watter for $200 on e-bay. The reflector was a cheap piece of shit with a cheap ballest that got hotter than fuck. I used it for maybe 2 grows and I got worried about fire. I then bought a SunSystem air cooled 400watter for $450. I can touch the lite after it's been on for 12 hours and feel no discomfort. The ballest is huge comparitively speaking and doesn't get hot at all. Buy quality, you'll sleep better.
