Can someone please post a link to the least expensive 400W HPS light ( complete ) ? I read alot of guys saying they bought theres for less than 50.00 for the complete set or something . The cheapest I can find is around 130.00.. Can someone help me out and help me save some cash please?

thanks
 
those are some sweet prices. The ones he linked even offer good shipping prices. eBay is the way to roll to be cost effective. You might also check some classifieds or even craigslist.
 
Yah those are some pretty cheap light...

Might want to even think about buying a used one
off a e-bay, some times you can find a good deal.
 
I guess I should have been more cleear.. I am talking about the ones I see ppl saying they paid like 20.00 for or something.. I think they had to make a power cord for it or something minor like that? Im not sure as im new to all this. I can get a BRAND NEW 400W comeplete kit w/ HPS and MH conversion bulb shipped for 186.00 from HTG.. But thats the cheapest ive seen . I would buy a reg 400W HPS only kit if it were less than 50.00 and just get a MH conv. bulb seperate if I can find one cheap like alot of people have posted but cant find one anywhere for that cheap. Im no electrician, but im sure I can attach a simple power cord if thast all it takes to get a 400W HPS for less than 50.00.. Anyone know what im talking about?

They might have paid 20 bucks for a bulb, but it's hard to think that the whole light would be that cheap. unleass it was used and they bought it on auction.

I bought a 400 watt HPS kit at HTGsupply like $54.00
cool tube reflector, and a HPS bulb it was like $190.00 with shipping
If you buy a HPS Ballast you don't need a MH ballast.
you just have to take the ignitor out of the circuit, or wire in a switch
to make it switchable. or buy the multi vapor bulb that works in both.
atleast you have a few options....
 
maybe i didnt understand what they meant. I thought they were certain ones you can buy and "rig" up yourself for under 50.00 that doesnt have a reflector is all. Bulb and ballast was included I thought. And it wasnt from eGAY ( ebay ). I can get a 400W HPS comeplete kit w/ the MH bulb added for less than 190.00 shipped from HTG Garden Supply. But I am on a very tight budget and was hoping to get something cheaper.
 
I wouldn't make your own power cord for any grow light!!!!you get what you pay for the leading cause of grow ops getting busted is fires from shifty electric and lighting.....Also when you run a 4oo hps/mh it should have its own ballast i would get a complete setup for safety its worth it in my book IMO
