well during my hunt for reflectors I came across a good price on Son Agro ballast for the 400 watt radium bulbs (they also run the Ushio 400 watt real white) same ballast that a certian company uses in its HQI ballast
I can get an Advance 430 watt Son Agro ballast for 70.00 including Taxes. so the only other cost will be shipping for thoes who want them.
I did some checking on shipping by greyhound and here are some examples of the rates to different areas
from Victoria to Vancouver aprox 9.97 for one ballast or 12.39 for two
From Victoria to Calgary/Edmonton 20.56 for one ballast or 27.16 for two
From Victoria to Winnipeg aprox 26.03 for one ballast or 32.63 for two
Oh ya Victoria shipping... FREE
and Ontario has a weird shipping system it is 45.64 for one ballast and 58.28 for two. ( I think for Onterio you would need to get two or more ballast to make shipping worth it... I will look into postal shipping in the next couple days to see if it is more cost effective.
So anyone who wants one of thease ballast let me know and we can see what kind of interest there is in them..
