Im looking to buy a hps/mh light. ive been looking at 600w but i saw this 1000w with a ac tube for the same price as the 600w with out an ac tube. So im wondering is this light worth it or is it just gonna light on fire?

^^ This is where you should buy grow lights...best company in the world to work with...brick and mortar stores...excellent customer service...low as hell prices...even if its a few bucks more you'll really appreciate it knowing that if your ballast blows the fuck up the company will come good for it

lol that is what i figured. Right now im working with about 500 600 dollars for a light tent fan and build a hydro system. So i'm probably going to buy a cheap 600w and upgrade the ballast after a few grows

Around these parts u will pay more than that just for the light reflector...seems like it may be worth taking a chance.
