    looks good to me, and $40 is a great price. wire it on up and let us know how it goes:D

    $70 will get you a 70W HPS at Casa de Pot. And you still have to wire in a cord. Make sure it is heavy enough for the load.
    Don't be alarmed of the light doesn't come on right away...it can take forever for some ballasts to
    warm up. Do be aarmed if you hear popping or snapping from the ballast or see sparks anywhere but inside the bulb. Don't be tempted to watch it too close and personal, incase of a fault in any part of the devise.
    Good luck!

    thank yah :)

    my other option was to go to Brew and Grow and spend 179.99 on a brand new 400watt hps
