i ordered my shit at
www.lightinguniverse.com this place has all sorts of shit like home repair stuff from patio lights to pool lights to garden gnomes and lawn furniture .\
the great thing about it is they have a horticulture section and no matter what you order it will never say grow or hydro or any shit besides home improvement universe or whatever. so its a great place to order from.
i got a sun supply 2 thats a 400 hps. it can also take one of those all spectrum bulbs, i think they are mh and hps somehow.i got it for 200 dollars. its a bad ass machine. its all one unit, no wiring no seperate ballast or any of that crap. just screw in a bulb and plug it in and hit the on switch on it. theres also a 4 inch fan attachment for easy fan connection. oh but the best thing is everyone says hps lamps are so hot? well not this one. i have the 400 hps in a 2 by 3 foot area. and it keeps the spot a steady 65 - 69 f while running a big fan. so jack shit for heat gets thrown from the unit. i dont need a fan either except to strengthin the stems. the reason i love this place is they also have nutes , every frikkin nutwe you can think of .
the other lamp i got was the sun supply 10 its a 600 watt hps. this one actually had to be put together but it was easy. all i had to do was screw the wires on and wirecap em, add a little electrical tape, plug in the ballast and vwallah 600 hps beemin in the spot...
they have every frikkin guano, nutes fox farm everything you could think of they have it. this lamp cost me 259. i was actually bummed i didnt get 2 600hps lamps but live and learn....
check this out bro this is exactly what your looking for. and it cost only, 7 dollars and change to run it 12 hours a day for 30 days. thats 7 .43 or something....the 499 only costs 7.89 to run 24 hours a day for A month....that aint jack shit never mind ever haveing to worry about the elecricity giving you away.

heres some pics of the plants at 5 weeks under the 400 in one spot and the others are under the 600 in a 6 by 6 that i built in my house. by the way the 600 hps sun supply 10 was only 259.00 dollars. good luck ask any possible questions. look into it read up as much as you can so you get the most convienient light possible....some brands are shit dont forget...some use a lot of elecricity and just suck, but the sun supply is the brand youll see in all the local hydro shops. thats why i went with it and it has been the best thing i ever did. good luck home boy
