Goodbye $20 150w e-conolight & hello to the $72 400w e-conolight!

**jonnynobody** · 01-20-2009, 07:51 PM

An end of the short-lived era of cheap hps lights for $20 is gone baby gone (one time deal is over) but alas there is another option for my fellow cheapskaters! Introducing the 400w MH e-conolight for $72.90 w/ballast & lamp included. Buy yourself a 360w MH to HPS conversion bulb and you're set my friends! I unfortunately have been unable to locate a cheaper MH to HPS conversion lamp but i'm sure there is one out there. BTW, the EYE Hortilux conversion lamp is rated at 45,000 lumens as oppose to the 32400 lumens w/the MH lamp. I personally haven't used this one yet, but I am ordering the first next week so i'll be sure & give a detailed report on quality etc..

Has anyone bought this 150W HPS for $42? It seems to be a pretty good deal and the housing includes a reflector and glass lens. I'd be interested to see how people hooked it if someone has purchased it

I have that exact light, it's a good one for a small grower. I took the glass lens off it and drilled holes in each corner to attach hangers on it. Make sure it works before modifying it in case it doesn't work and you have to return it.

I've got that 400 watt mh e-conolight. Its okay, i've got to make it remote ballast, it's a son of a bitch hanging the heavy bulb on ballast fixture. If i could've done it over i would have paid the extra money for a 400w hps from htg.

Is it difficult to wire up? Or just a normal splice to an extension cord?
