yeah Id just go to Maryland Hydroponics ad get a digital 600 watt ballast that run mh and hps bulbs gives 30% more light and uses 30% less power then old ballasts for $119 get a super enhanced spectrum bulb with 95000 lumes ( witht the digital ballast 126666 lumnes enhanced) for $25 and a sunleaves lightwave refector for $29.99 so under 175 for a whole new setup with awesome lighting

Good choice tech you can use your cfls as side lighting also during veg to help the lower stuff get more light.Hope you like it I know I luv the ballasts from them light as can be also like 5 lbs

Depending on the reflector you may have to grab a mogul socket for like 5-8 bucks.Some come with them some dont.Its 2 or 3 wires to hook it to your ballast cord
