You also have to wire it up yourself.

is it hard to do does ne one have a skimatic or a guid of how to do this??

Hey Scott, remember when Rona relamped the whole store?
All those lights were 400w tri voltage MH. 400w was a bit to much for what I wanted, but I should have taken the free one Mike was going to give me. When I finally decided I wanted one, they were all sent to some warehouse.

yah i hadent thought about an aquarium at that time too bad it prolly could have saved me some money lol

It isn't as hard as I thought it would be when I hooked mine up. There should be a wiring diagram right on the ballast when you get it.

If you want to do the mail order route this Winnipeg hydroponics store ships. 250 watt is $79.00 + 12.00 shipping

exactly, it was easy :) got it today, wired it up and was running in 5 mins.

you also need a box to put the ballast in, i picked up a metal electrical box for $16 at home depot.

so if u dont mind me asking
are u using atinics as well?
what did u end up getting?
what type of bulbs?
total cost?
and where u got them from?

i already had a nice blue 14k bulb. so no atinics.

ballast was 70 box 16, you can get a pendant from ikea for for $10, replace the mogul(socket) with a MH mogul. Moguls are cheap.

get your ballast at brite-lite.com, not sure if the have moguls. You could go to quick grow for moguls. both stores in NE calgary.
