Does anyone here happen to have one?

I'm able to get a deal on some 400w ones right now and I'm wanting to take the guy up on it as they're half or even a third of the price of any I've ever seen.. (only problem is I have to get more than I need but I can prob sell the rest on craigslist at this price)

They're convertible (handle hps & mh), digital ballasts from Welthink...

Thanks a lot,
CreQ

How much I would def buy some, Paypal, etc.....

Just found this
Pros: Cheap.

Cons:....Cheap. Gets too hot. If it is outside the room it is warm, if it is inside the room it gets hot, and this is with the 400W selection on the switch. The 600 Watt selection seems to get hotter. As in, it will almost burn you if you touch it, even outside the room.
Turns out it is made in China.

Other Thoughts: Have been going back-and-forth with the owner of DaystarHID. I originally asked him "Do the ballasts run 400W MH and HPS bulbs" he answered "yes, ballasts work with 400W bulbs."

False!! They will start and run HPS bulbs at 400, 500, and 600 Watts, but to have a Metal halide start you MUST have a 600W bulb in the 600W ballast.
I did not know this at the time, or I would never have bought this ballast, I would have gotten 1000W instead. 600W MH bulbs do not exist.

Rating: All in all, I give it about 1 out of 5 stars. Price is very good, but Ballast is very cheap, plus the owner of DaystarHID seems to not know his product.

This one is a DO NOT BUY!!
Spend the extra money and get a cooler-running product from a company you've heard of before.

Well I went by the doods shop this morning and picked them up.
It gets warm, but no where near burn-your-hands-off.
As far as the heat it generates i'm making a grow box (enclosed), 400w = 400w, heat produced is the same.
The only diff might be how hot-to-touch the ballast gets, but it's not getting much hotter than my hydrofarm one.
(I can't tell the diff by touch at least)..could just be that dudes 600w ones..

I want to run them for a couple weeks before I chance selling one with my name on it..esp since I'm not taxing =P

I ended up getting 5 of them this morning for $300, so w/ shipping it'd be $75ea.

And btw these are NOT dimmable, so if you're looking for dimmable (like 300/350/400w all-in-one-unit) these ARE NOT them.

That's a link to the mfg website for this exact model that I just got 5 of this morning.
