ballast works great, whats the cost of it seperate? whats the cost of the 1000w hps bulb + reflector + ballast ??? i got the setup from a friend and selling it for a new 1, 1000w bulb is a year old.
A brand new 1000 watt HPS system with ballast and reflector is $200 from here: http://www.insidesun.com/index.php?action=item&id=75&prevaction=category&previd=2&prevstart=0 The ballast you have above in your picture makes me very nervous. Maybe that is because I have already been burned by fire, but I would wonder about yours. All those wires hanging around there and no case or shielding for the ballast and wires make it look unsafe to me.
