430 watt Metal Halide question

[rizzo69]

Hey I currently run a 1000watt HPS mag ballast and veg with spiral CFLS

I found a good deal locally for a 430 watt MH ballast, $100 canadian dollars which is pretty badass and I can veg stronger plants with that then with those spirals.

anyway im trying to lookup the specs on a 430 watt MH and all i get is 430 watt HPS or 400 watt MH listings.

Has anyone ever had one of these? any of you know what the lumen output is on the 430 watt MH ballast?

or a website i can just check it out

thanks

I am pretty sure the 430 is somewhere around 45,000 lumens MY SUNMASTER MH 400 watter is 54,000 lumens

either way you will get really nice results from it.

do you know of any HPS conversion bulbs that will fit in this?

these 430 watters are cheaper than a 400, why?
