I got the 400 form HTG and I love it. But for your size room yea get the 250 from HTG it seems like a good deal. And I heard they really stand by there products. You might want to go right to HTG's web sight it might be cheaper than buying it on eBay. Good Luck!

As the previous poster stated HTG will be your best bet. Go to their site and go for a 400 watt setup, it's only like 120 bucks and it will out perform that 250. I myself grow in a closet around the full size of yours and the 400 watter is great.

I got a Lumatek digital ballast and light with hood for $200 of ebay. It works great and is high quality, I'd go with that system I believe they also have a 250w system for $160 or so. The lumatek digital system lasts longer, puts out more lumens and is much lighter than those magentic ballasts.

why does the 250 hps have a ballast and the 150 dosent?

The 150 does have a ballast. It's inside the hood the lamp is mounted in. It's an integrated hood/ballast.

Remote ballasts have the advantage of allowing you to keeping the hot ballast away from the plants.



FWIW, I've got a Lumatek 250w (digital) and a C.A.P. 250w (magnetic). The digi is better in every way except it won't run a CMH bulb. So if you don't care about that, I'd get a Lumatek 250w ballast (if that's the wattage you want) and then pick your hood/reflector. Even with a 250, you'd better at least have some fans blowing.
