yes, i got mine off ebay and it has been running 12/12 for quite some time now...no troubles thus far
only difference is that mine is a 400 watt light, but that shouldn't affect the integrity of a company whatsoever!

They are good for the price. I have the 400 watt system which I started out with and it served me well.
I would get the highest wattage that you can afford. Even though 250 watts is good for a 3x3 area, 400 watts will be better. And higher wattage than that is even better.

250 is a bit small for 6 plants unless the plants are smaller like a sog grow.id only do like 8-9 inch plants if i did 6 under 250 watts
they sent me an extra bulb for my T5 last week knowing I broke one and they both needed to be replaced. Gr8 company.

HTG are assholes and don't stand behind their product. I bought a bad ballast from them over the internet. When I took it back to the store not only did they refuse to replace it but they were all around rude. I would avoid HTG like the plauge, and if you do use them pray there are no defects in your equipment, because they will not stand behind it.

Bought my lights from an industrial lighting supplier - cheaper than any ripoff grow shop.

HTG is amazing...I am lucky enough to live near a location and the staff is very helpful..there prices especially on lights are less than half the price of its competitors..Its the only place to shop..Ive heard you can nutes for cheaper elswhere but light prices cant be beat...I have the HTG Tek Two High Output T5 setup and it works amazing...store i had looked at before the light had less than half the lumens on the HTG one and was double the price

An online UK industrial supplier. Cheapest I could find. Ballast and 400W MH was 60 UKP.
ya it was easier for me to use HTG cause i had read alot about them on here and had a local one an hour away from me...People were helpful and I was happy with price and service..gotta start a journal..kinda slackin...month from seed right now and looking amazing from T5

I had 12 of their 1000 watt ballasts shit the bed during a 6 month period. They replaced the first 4 with new - the second 4 with used, that did not last 1 month, and then stopped taking my calls. All of these ballasts were their "special brand". Not 1 ballast lasted more than 6 months. All were replaced at a local shop with Sun Systems. I have had problems with 2 over the last 2 years. The local shop gives me a loaner ( one time opening a new boxed ballast and made it a loaner) until they could repair mine. I did not lose even 1 day. Moral of the story - you may spend a little more locally, but when shit happens (and it always does) being able to drive to a shop and get a replacement sure beats a phone call - answered or not.
