The econo light comes with the ballast

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - converting a home security light into a remote ballast grow light (the OG FAQ) heres a link to a guide. It's not made for the Econo light but its the same thing, just a different housing.

very nice setup, my bulb will be comming hopefuly soon, i ordered it last night so maybe tomarrow or the next day, does it produce alot of heat? i had a 400w that Cooked my plants..but sold it, so im getting a 150w and i hope i will be happy with it, your plants look veryyyy good, i hope mine come out as good, goodluck on the grow, ill be checking up on it haha.

What kind of temps are you guys getting with these 150hps? Room? box? cooltube? exhaust?no exhaust?
If anybody has these numbers i would appreciate it

My closet has a hatch to the attic, so I removed it and tossed in a window fan to suck air out of the closet and into the attic (plus it keeps hot air in the attic). I had 12 CFL's and temps were between 78-85F. With the HPS and the addition of cold weather outside I have been holding steady at 77F with the lights on and 70 at night time. RH is always 40%.

Here are some pictures to make everything make sense, the white thing is just some random thing I found in the closet, maybe a shoe holder I have no idea, the fans were $3-5 at walmart on clearance, the dual fan next to the reflector sucks air and pushes it up to the fan which then sucks it into the attic.

Look in the vapor tight section. They list two 150w HPS, the $20 one is what's being discussed.

FWIW, I ordered mine Tuesday morning. It was on my doorstep Thursday afternoon. According to the packing slip, it was shipped within 45 minutes of my order. Can't beat that service.
