-----------------------------the light shop--------------------------

I would like to dedicate this thread to lighting fixtures and lighting accessories. here you can post links to good deals on lighting fixtures, bulbs, ballasts, reflectors and grow hoods etc. etc. etc.

people are always looking for a good deal, so lets share with your fellow members, such as lighting equipment at below normal cost. shops that are having sales or clearances, your finds on E-Bay.

please keep in mind that links that will be posted, will most likely be limited time offers, or while supplies last, so the link may only be good for a certain time frame. especially E-Bay items that will end by a certain time.

alright so i will kick this off with a couple of ballasts i found today for someone that has the capabilities to make them remote if needed. these are magnetic ballasts and well worth the money.

S&C, great thread idea - I'm planning an op in the attic (only place it will fit) and starting out from scratch on the knowledge front, so everything helps.

Thanks and thanks.

any one ever used one of these bulbs? Gavita HPS w/built-in reflector

i was just wondering if there was a way to hook up a flood light with the two light sockets to a standard 120v power cord that i cut off from the printer

check it out and please comment.

yes you can and it will work, but the problem with it, is there is no ground wire. the ground wire will protect you and your equipment if the hot wire ever becomes in contact with the metal parts around the lights. i would get a 3 wire cord with a 3 prong plug and a 4 inch round weatherproof box and a cord connector. install the connector and put the stripped end of the cord inside the box. connect the ground to the ground screw of the box. connect your light and install the cover to the box.

remember safety first.

this reflector is pretty nice. would work very nice for a remote metal halide for veg. make an offer of 25.00 and they may take it. they have about 30 in stock.
