Hi, forget about all these stupid trolls. You should be able to get 6 plants under your 250w and keep the light at about 2.5-3 foot to minimize heat stress.

Lets get cliteral is right! I used to have one of them lamps. Its 150w hps. Theres almost no heat to it would definitely hook it up to an electric kill switch or a gfi just to be safe. But it is old and shit!bongsmilie

is it me or do newbies on here have a little extra smart ass attitude on here lately. Ask a question you are going to get all sorts of answers, not just the one you are looking for.

Has anyone mentioned that the Yankees suck yet? ;). Have to say that @Diabolical666 and myself got off on a similar foot about a year ago, but I have come to respect HER brahless opinion over that year. You should too. As to the light, I like old shit that works, but do keep an eye on it.

If your worried about an electrical fire, spend the $30 on an AFI plug and let that bitch shine.

I don't understand why anyone thinks that just because a light is old it's no good..@diabolical666?? I was given a 15+yr old hydro farm 400MH..i think it's the same thing he has, built in ballast..works fine. I know enough that i took it apart,cleaned it and checked the wiring. Those old mag ballast light last forever..might need to replace a CAP here and there. I see a huge fear, or misunderstanding?, of electricity in the MJ growing community..I don't get it, it's pretty simple. Oh and once you get bit by 120 a couple times..it's not that bad..lol

I'm not arguing the other points, I don't use it much because it puts off too much heat and my T5 blows it away.

The way I see it, old brittle discolored sockets/fixtures and corroded wires are a possible fire hazard to be taken into consideration. Whether in a household lamp or in a grow light, I don't think that's paranoid at all. Inspect the ballast, inspect the socket, inspect all the wires and connections, do a test run and then decide whether to use it, @Hawk1020
