Cheapest, Safest, Most Reliable website to order from?

How's it going everybody? I'm looking to purchase a 400w hps set-up. I was wondering what places (online) you guys have dealt with and would recommend as far as prices, reliability, and customer service.

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it!

Bump....I'm sure I'm not the only one who's interested to hear what you guys got!

Wow... that's a nice price. $164 for a dual MH/HPS ballast and two bulbs w/reflector. Have you tried that?

The combo I was looking at is $303 so this looks like a much better offer. I wonder what shipping is.

shipping brings the price to almost 300 if i recall corectly

If the total is near $300.00 and the light costs $164.95 (plus upgrades if chosen) are you saying that the shipping costs are nearly equal to the cost of the light itself? If it totaled an even $300.00 it would make the shipping cost $136.00. Has anyone here paid in excess of $100.00 shipping when they purchased from HTG Supply?

Ok .. I had to call HTGS to ask what the price of the unit mentioned would be, including shipping, to my zip code and the total came to $185.48. That would make the shipping to my zip code $20.53.

I would suggest that a call be made to HTGS to ask what the shipping would be in each person's case because it is bound to vary.

One thing to keep in mind about the light mentioned is it uses a MH conversion bulb and they are not equal to a true MH. It would not be an injudicious thing to do to upgrade to a light system with a switchable digital ballast so a true MH bulb could be used and also to keep temps down and be more efficient.

plantlightinghydroponics also has some good deals... they ship in plain brown boxes with minimal info on the tag.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I actually went with this 400w hps setup that I found for $120 with numerous upgrade options!
