That's a great deal for a 400 watt setup. If you got a hortilux eye bulb in the future you would have better results because they're using a cheap ass bulb but for under 150 that's not a bad setup.

If you go cheaper you'll get a lower wattage setup so I wouldn't recommend it.

Goodkush,
Yes, that will do the job for you. If you have a hydro shop nearby...see if they can match the price. It's much easier to deal with a store...if you have warranty issues.

For another 20-50 bucks you can get a dimmable 600w plan for the future!

Not bad. I would suggest to spend 14 more dollars for the cool tube with hood!!! that would spread the light much better. I like to spend more from my hydro shop knowing I can go back if there are any issues. 5 year warranty so I can't really complain.

Like this one ? I've got it, fine so far. For 25 extra you get two bulbs, plus a dimmable 600.
