Yes that's a good deal. And yes, it should be good for two ladies. Though it always depends on how big you veg them. Are you planning to veg under the HPS as well?

Careful though, since its refubished that means the bulb and ballast have been used so u wont be gettin the full output, but not knockin u at all in fact if it was hps and mh 400w and at that price i would b buyin it as we speak lol

They are providing new bulb with the system and you can operate any standard or horticultural 400 watt High Pressure Sodium lamp or 400 watt Metal Halide Conversion lamp. Ballast has been used but has been refurbished and has a 30 day warranty.

This will rock your world then!
This is a core & coil then (magnetic) ballast?? If so, that's good, CMH bulbs are the bomb!
You WILL probably need to upgrade your ventilation. There will be more heat to go along with all those lumens.

It depends on what type of reflective hood comes with it and it's size/footprint. Unless it's a damn good one it's not that much of a bargain. I'm assuming it is a magnetic ballast and you can buy a new 400-watt HPS magnetic ballast light with a four sided 15.5" long x 12.5" wide x 6" deep reflective hood, pebbled if I remember right but I might be wrong, and a 2-year warranty on the ballast and 1-year warranty on the bulb for something like $115.00 to $120.00 from High Tech Garden Supply. If the one you found has a batwing reflective hood or a smaller reflective hood the little extra cash would be worth it to have a better reflective hood, have the system be new and have a 2-year warranty. It's not like roughly $30.00 is much more to spend to have something new and at least parts of it maybe being better.
