This ballast kit is about $55.00 but by the time you've built it, and bought everything else needed, I dont see where you would have saved any money?
In fact it might be more.

Peace
That makes sense. How much would I expect to pay for a 400W lamp? I'm looking at a 250W MH for $160 (22k lumens). Would that be sufficient for a medium-sized closet?
