Have you been smoking something Omri? $20 for an hps with fixture is a bargain! I'd be buying bunch of these at that price.

 

[MiPepperDude]

i have been smoking and i still say its a great deal....the bulb alone is worth the 20 bucks!

 

[jh35ky123]

yea just wondered if the warehouse 250 watt sodium warehouse setup would be like a 250 watt grow system setup ? guess light is light huh? and omri does always have that goofy stoned look huh? haha just joking omri

Maybe it's just me, but 250w bulbs and equipment aren't expensive and brand new.
The bulbs are really cheap in packs and a simple 250w ballast won't cost you much.
BTW, what model is it?

 

[jh35ky123]

not sure names but theses are big industrial things 24in high 20 or 22 in around fixtures weigh bout 25 or 30 pounds each

this is why i keep saying purchasing power parity has no application in the short run. there is no point comparing your prices to my prices to their prices, here the bulb alone costs about one and a half times that.

Industrial, high-bay HPS luminaires are going to have the wrong reflectors for growing chiles unless you want to mount the HID 20' above your plants.

If these are second-hand, the ballasts and lamps will be problematical.

YEEEEESSS!!! Someone got the referance!

 

[jh35ky123]

well if they would get light frim 20' wouldnt they get it from 2' ? i can take the reflectors off and rig up my own too ?

You can do anything you want, they just won't work well for your chiles.
