LF 250W DE Fish Need It brand?

[banditpowdercoat]

SOmeone here a little while ago was trying to sell a light form Fish Need It. I may be interested. Atleast wanting to know how it performed? They are not that expensive, but are they a waste of $$$? I have a bare TAR ballast 250W just screwed to the inside of my stand, and its WAY to hot. Not sure if it's because the bulb is very old, or what, but after 30 min, can not touch the ballast. Afraid the ballast will catch the wood on fire.
