Quick search I found this.

Way too high price but shows what I am talking about.

Know nothing of that ballast, but he can get a Nanolux w/lamp for around 300 to 350.

Just did a quick search and he could get a Prism Ceramic Science 315W CMH Light Conversion Kit from Growers House for $158 plus the cost of the bulb. My last 3100 Phillips cost $80 +. I don't think he can get in any cheaper, unless he buy's shit products to save a buck.

I only posted to show the very hanging cord.

I only recommend Phillips or galaxy. And have seen prism still going good for a lot of growers.

The deal he is saying he getting is not available anywhere I can find.

Of course I wouldn't put this much energy into such an overhyped bulb. ;-)

All of the sun system 630 models take 2 315 watt cmh bulbs.

I have the sun system vertical open remote reflector and a galaxy ballast I got from growers house last Black Friday for about $350 delivered.

And growers house has a cmh comparison blog that shows the Phillips 3100 has the highest par of all of them.

And the ushio 4K has the most uv.

Honestly I am a bit confused what you are looking at from them from your posts. But sun system lamps and ballasts are made to run Phillips lamps to spec.

I would not buy an off brand eBay set up. But the prism ballasts seem to be still working for everyone since last year when I ran my tests in club 315.
i dont have much info as this has all been over fax and phone calls and a few emails. i know its sunlight supply inc in Vancouver, Washington
i was just wondering if the ballast and set up was worth buying as i dont not know much about them other then they cost a lot in my location, the only reason its cheap is because its for promotion i was asking and talking to a few distributors and then growers house got me in contact with sunlight supply. and i explained i have my medical to grow licence and was looking for a system that ran CMH they gave me a offer on a prototype system for 358.1 or there Sun System LEC 630 120 Volt for the same price, and then i told him i dont know if i wanted to run one with a hood so he said he would add ballast connectors if i want to remove it. so i went with the prototype as i liked the idea for the ballast with the 2x315W dual output. i have a picture of the ballast as posted but the only pic i have of the hood is on the fax. and there is nothing even close to it online other than the Sun System LEC 630 but thats a different color and shape but about the same size if not a lil smaller
i was just trying to get info on is it worth getting. from what i have been looking at the bulbs alone are worth more than im paying for the whole thing. its not a cheap ballast its going to be one of the new sun system ones. before the offer i was not even going to go 630 but now im thinking of switching my grow room setup for this light

If it's sun system for those prices I wouldn't argue. Just buy the one you want. I know they came out with a sun system branded ballast but I have only seen ads.

And their reflectors were designed with the bulb for highest par they can get.

The 630 is like $700 normally.

i have the info and link on the released 630 they offered me its this other one i want to know more about but i just got a few pics and the spec sheet in the fax. and from what they say its a big improvement over the other hood and ballast
https://www.sunlightsupply.com/shop/product/sun-system-lec-brand-630-watt-fixture_52_000003?categoryId=lec-lighting

i did not think of that for what its worth if i dont like it i can just sell it for more than i paid any way. i was just hearing so much on the 315s being better so i was wondering if this would be a good buy for the garden to grow myself something nice

think im going to go for it

Man for the cost of that thing you can get 4 or 5 of the Prism 315 kits with bulbs. Why are you sold on that light? It's your money, but I thought you said you wanted to get into it cheap. .

because i can get it for $358.1 US and the Prism 315 kits with bulbs $317.87 US with shipping so its $458.85 CAD vs $407.27 CAD
the $458.85 CAD $1404.41 CAD is the price of the one this one is above in class without the discount im being given
as i said before when i started asking i did not know much about this system but now that i have more info and know the other models in its class i see its a awesome deal

Day 3 of flower with the two 315s and double ended 630.

- and 3 random crosses with a bubblisious male

Made my first organic "tea" and gave it to them 4 days ago. They seem to be loving it.

That hood looks really nice. I haven't used a double only the remote 315. But I did have to add fans blowing in between the hood and plants and a second 6" exhaust to control heat. So be aware of that is all. It's twice as hot in 1 fixture. I would opt for 2 315's spread out a little more but for the prices you are quoted.......

Dude if you can get a $1,095.95 MSRP light for 317.87 then you had better buy a dozen of them, :) Just kidding, like I said I know nothing about them was just being a good citizen and tried to help. That does sound like a great deal, just not sold on the 630's, looks like a heat issue to me.
But you know what, it's your dollar. Hope you make the right choice!

That 630 CMH is crap, DON'T BUY IT! There a two major things wrong with it.

1. Its literally the lowest quality CMH ballast/light you can buy. Every cheap CMH knockoff company uses this ballast/lamp (look around).

2. HEAT! This light is going to have overheating issues in a major way. Do you see how the two CMH bulbs are vertical and almost touching? By having both bulbs in the same reflector, so closely aligned, it gives the heat that they radiate no where to go. This is a major design flaw that all of the major CMH companies have moved away from.
Glad you were here. :0)
