ah, thanks. that makes sense. so does the ballast cost more than the bulb?It's a Transformer in a box kinda thing that controls the voltage going to the light. Thats why even though a 400w hps bulb WILL fit into a regular house hold socket, but it will do nothing. That tube inside is givin a start up charge of about 6500 volts by the ballast to fire up the lamp.
So The transformer box plugs into the wall, and the light socket is wired to the transformer box.
Now that's a small box. Got any pic's of the turn out or setup?The last box I made was exactly 4inch x 6inch and 10inch tall. Worked good for 3-4 plants.
I did have pics of it. Well I really still do but their on the wall of my new grow room and are covered by the mirrors all over the wall for reflection.Now that's a small box. Got any pic's of the turn out or setup?
