I've build my own tent already and hated it this tent has nice zippers and tool pouch, and no light leaks took me 5 min with some duck tape around the stitching and I'm golden very happy with it. Just have to get a new light my plants are suffering under my make shift set up lol a 150w HP's and a few 150w CFLs with some aluminum foil lmfao. It keeps them alive for now till I can order my 1000w.

Just got some of these. Working fine so far, faint hum from the internal fans.




And I still have a bunch of dinosaurs in the boneyard. Some real oldies in there.

very worst ballast ever owned . nanolux i think how its spelled . the fans get loud or stop burn the shit up . and only last 1 year some times would not even turn on the bulb and sometimes turned on and off over and over after 10 minute interviews herm your plants for sure . used to own a few of those lovely units rebuilt the fans and sold them all on craigs list .

Its in my price range great comments not a single negative comment and to be honest my biggest concern is it lasting. Don't care about adjusting 50% 75% although it would be nice I can't get that with a old school good working magnetic ballast. OPINIONS????
