Default HPS and MH switchable fixture!
permalink
Would anybody recommend any of the fixtures and ballast on this site?
They have sun systems that allow you to change from mh to hps in the same fixture. I was considering the 400 watt hps and mh fixture for 4 plants that way I could veg with mh and flower with hps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Heres the site....

Also If anyone knows where to get the same product for a better price....let me know please

The switchable ballast is genius. I love mine. What I do is, during flower I switch from three days with the HPS and one day with MH. The MH puts off UVB rays that my girls seam to love.

If you are interested, they also make a dual-spectrum ballast. It is configurable - i got a 400w MH and a 600w HPS that run simultaneously through the whole grow. (see pix) but they are pricey....

you could also just get the reflector and attach two different ballasts to it - imagine getting two 1000w switchable ballasts! you could run 2000w of MH during veg and 2000w of HPS during bloom!
