this is a lamp that can switch from a 400 watt mh to a 400 watt hps that comes with a timer and a ballast and grounded cords. http://cgi.ebay.com/400-watt-SWITCHABLE-GROW-LIGHT-w-HPS-Sodium-MH-Halide_W0QQitemZ160289171651QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160289171651&_trkparms=72%3A1420%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1309&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Would it be a good deal?
opinions, facts?

You can do better but that's a good one stop shop.

A better deal would be a non switchable cheaper HPS and some flouro tubes or smaller halide or cfl's for a seperate veg/mother area no matter how small.

Switchable ballasts are pointless with the extra time wasted cycling harvests in one space with one light.

i dont have enough space to have seperate harvests, atleast i dont think i do. The only space I have is 3ft by 4ft by 7ft closet space?
would I be able to split harvests?
