Anyone see anything wrong with this?

I can't get that link, maybe post it again.
The important thing I look for in a ballast is whether it's switchable or not. Dimmable is good too.

I'd say it's a really good deal, but agree that it seems awful cheap, being that it comes with the cool tube and both the HPS and MH bulbs. Seems a little fishy, but who knows, there's lots of competition out there so it's possible that it's legit. Maybe Google the site and see if you can find any opinions on it?

I found them via an ebay seller. I guess they sell on ebay as well. They have exceptional ratings on ebay... cant find much on google though.

Only thing I would suggest is that you use a gavita bulb as the built in reflector is great and the reflectors on the cooltubes suck.. Problem there is that you can't use a digital ballast with a Gavita HPS bulb. So you will want to switch to a non-digital ballast.. This is what i use Dual 600watt Gavita's in a 48" CoolTuble. I am about to increase the size of the room by 40% and add a 3rd Gavita bulb and a 20"tube to put in line with my other. I also suggest a Can-Fan. Faster you get the hot air away from the light the cooler the room will stay..
