Does anyone know where you can buy these in the US?

Yup yup...I'm a general contractor...they are in fact all over large construction sites.

HOWEVER I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE STEALING FROM CONSTRUCTION SITES...IT'S DARK, THERE'S NO ONE AROUND...THEIVES THAT ARE CAUGHT ARE GENERALLY DEALT WITH SEVERLY WHEN CAUGHT IN DARK PLACES WITH NO WITNESSES.

BESIDES IT'S JUST FAWKING WRONG TO STEAL AND ALMOST AS WRONG TO CONDONE OR SUGGEST IT. BAD FORM MY FRIEND, BAD FORM!!!!!!

and on a more personal note...thanks, it's people like you that cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars a year replacing crap I find stolen, you know we can't work when you steal our stuff?!!?!?! Oh and those lights, that's called EGRESS LIGHTING, it's sole purpose is so we don't trip and kill ourselves at 5am when the fawking sun isn't even up yet. And when it's not in place OSHA comes and shuts down our job site because we are then in violation of federally mandated construction safety laws!!! Makes me sick when I have to be woken up by my Foreman because someone stole from our job site!!!!

YOU WANNA GROW POT FINE...DON'T STEAL FROM HARDWORKING PEOPLE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find your local major electrical company (like one's that do large comercial jobs) find their suppliers (their suppliers usually sell to the public, just not at our discounted rate)

**EDIT**
You can find this item legally for under $200 on amazon, under "home improvement" I found it by doing a google search for "metal halide wobble light"
and if you are really interested they come in a 100w and 175w version. HTH
**END EDIT**

But honestly if you are going to be honest and pay for it, your money is far better spent on the proper ballast and reflective hood. Those lights are designed to light hallways, not the most efficient route of MH lighting if you are growing plants.

But hey, I guess it works great if you want to take that other guys suggestion and steal it...ya know I mean free crap always works best I guess, I dunno I just hope you don't steal your supplies from hard working american men, who put in 8 hours of hard work to build America 5 days a week!!

Dont steal the light... go buy one. How would you like it if someone stole your shit? Thats like the other post on here where a newbie asks where the best place is to steal weed... cmon man. we are a group of people trying to help eachother and you want to steal someones stuff. Got to another forum on stealing... dont bring that here.

If what I have posted on these forums has in any way helped you, please feel free to tip the scales (upper right corner) and add to my rep. Thanks!

I just joined tonight. Just what I had been searching for. You are some informative mother-fuckers, very wise smokers the likes of which I have never came across beforehand. My germinated seed broke soil today, I have it directly under a daylight 100w equivalent; 27w, pushing 1300 lumens and 5500k for the low price of $6.97. Once I am ready to triple its size I will most likely go back to Home Depot for the 150w soft white for flowering stage. Depending on size I might devise another set-up with more fluorescent bulbs. Came across striped seed out of kill sack. Stoked to say the least.

i got a small closet air in air out is ok the temp during light on hours are 85F lights off 75F everything is going well i took my mother plants off 18/6 and pushed them to bud 12/12 i just got a hydro system built and will start from seeds . i got a small 150watt Hps light flowring my mothers now and seedlings under fluro in rw blocks my question is how close should i keep my HPS light to my mother plant while flowering and when i swittch it to my hydro unit can i use the same distance any info helpful i use to use all fluros now starting hps but small wattage for small 1-3 plants any help thanks..

I guess the spirit of getting high and being cool has been replaced with something darker and sleazier.

Which light is better?

430w Sun Agro
or
430w Hortilux

Please, I need someone's opinion!

how do i get my grow room warmed up? i have a 150 watt fluro light init!?? does not seem to be warm enugh?

are t5ho as good as hps bulbs for flowering
