Hey guys was wondering if you know a better deal than this? 400 watt electonic switchable with the HPS bulb , and yeild master 2 reflector. Here is the link http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/lights3.shtml. Currently could get for 313.02.
I think at that price it'd be best to buy the parts separately. At http://www.horticulturesource.com you can get a 400w Lumatek Ballast, and the same reflector for $230. You could then buy a cheap HPS/MH bulb from them. If you want a better bulb, www.dchydro.com will usually have the best price on the bulb you want as long as they have the bulb.

Thanks Med4me. I have checked out the HTG and they seem more expensive than HorticultureSource and not as much of a selection. It is a good site to have though for more research and to double check prices.

http://www.growlightexpress.com/ is also a great place to check prices. Just placed and order with them that was pretty big. Took 4 days for them to process it which made them seem a little schechy, but then it only took 3 days to ship for a total of 7 days to the door.

Integra21 Thanks I just checked them out. Its cheaper till you figure in shipping. If get evrything from growlightexpress it is more expensive due to shipping. Well for the great white 6" air cooled reflector it makes it more expensice. But if i get the 600w balast and the hortilux super HPS 600w bulb from Grow express and the hood from HorticulterSouce I save almost 100 from buying all from one place.

yeah, there shipping is a little screwy, but if you play with it, you can make it work. I ordered over $2,000 worth of equipment, and shipping was $190, originally had my nutrients on the order, and shipping was $350, so I removed them and it got more reasonable. On a side note though, If you talk to the people at the local grow store and tell them you plan on ordering all this stuff to save $$$, a lot of them will try to get close to a price match and the sales tax vs. shipping usually balance out.

Watch out for HTG's electronic ballasts (aka Digital Greenhouse). They are real flaky with MH bulbs. Mine was arcing when a brownout happened and almost melted the bulb. Come to find out, the ballast explicitly says to use MH conversion bulbs.

I do like HTG's magnetic ballasts, and they are very reasonable.

Their customer service is best if you call. It's hit and miss if you email them. They did upgrade my almost melted bulb to a name brand.
