Can I get Any Better Lights ???

.... Ive got Two Flowering lights that are 250 watt a piece... HID to be exact... They costed 600 dollars a piece and are rated for 250 watt bulbs... I guess that means the ballast will only handle 250 watt ???? I dont really know... I would like to try putting a higher wattage bulb in them but afraid of losing an expensive ballast ... What would you do ??

600 bucks for a 250 watt?

Wow...600 for 2 150W's ???? Thats pretty expensive man... You could have bought a nice 600w or 1000w, mh and hps bulbs, air cooled hood, carbon scrubber and fan for that and had way better results...

Yeah, I got them when I first started growing and bought HID lights that go in a warehouse building for lighting... Needless to say didnt really know what I was doing when I got them.. LOL

So.. More than likely I will overload the ballast , right ? if I try to go with a higher wattage bulb???

if its rated at 250 dont go over 250
