At Lowes and Home De all the HPS I've seen are setup for 240V meaning you'd have to make it run off 120V which is a little work but not much since there are so many write-ups and how-to's around. The cheapest HPS growlight sold by stores for 120v I recall is the HTG supply 150W HPS which is 82.85 with free shipping.

Yea lowes or home depot have em, I think 60 to 90 dollarsish. They work good with some adjusting. Shud be American voltage if bought in America. Did u end up getting a hps? 150 wats is decent for a small plant , 300 to 400 is ridonkulously better tho

You can buy a 100w HPS with built in ballast at Home Depot or Lowes - they are security lights meant for outside. I have one in my veg room, made one hell of a difference considering I'm only using 8 fluoros in there, and its small enough to not require extra ventilation in my case.

I bought a the 150 watt hps built in ballast sunsystem for like $100 including shipping. It works, but is only enough for maybe 2 plants. I let one veg under it for a little two long, now its 4 feet tall with 4 cola's and the light seems like it might not be quite enough. oh wellll
