Upgrading to HID bulbs

Tokeme · May 26, 2010

Anyone know of a good place/site to get some indoor Ballasts for the MH and HPS bulbs, I went to home depot but either you had to make the ballast and Im not electrician or the stuff they had for the HID lights were too big like for street lamps and outdoor spotlights

All over the Net. I won't bother linking any, because I don't know what country you are in.

True, What country your in can be an important thing with some sites.

a hydroponics store is a great place, for a 1000 watt hid ballast it's between 120-200 bux for a magnetic ballast. Cheaper all the way down, I payed 180 with tax for my ballasts (k's) each. Try Ebay? where ya from? I'm from North America.

Im in the mid west, so it shouldnt be to hard to find a grow shop. so far I've just been hitting up the homedepot, but I think its time for me to move on to a better store

By make the ballast is just a kit you buy ready to assemble? If so it's actually quite simple this is what I buy from my local hydroponics shop for like 20$ cheaper.

Yeah I think its a kit, but I would rather buy one put together rather than risking an apartment fire
