im really pretty broke right now and i ran across 400 watt MH ballast/bulbs for $25, i gave the guy $45 for two. this is just to get me through till i can afford some 1k's.
LOL it was weird cuz i spent some time in there with all three 400s on and apparently got used to the bright light and i was thinking the whole time that it didnt seeem very bright. then i unplugged the two new MH lights and i was just shocked and how dark it was in there. wow and thats all they had till now?! well they should be happy, as long as i can keep the temps down these new lights arent aircooled!
