I have been running an eBay bought 250w lamp for about 8 months. Not a single hiccup. All it is, is a ceramic socket, a couple wires and a wall cord. I don't really see how it's anymore dangerous than one for 2x the price.
Only thing I changed was the HPS bulb for a higher quality piece.
Further down the road i made my own cool tube.

I have bought gear from YesCom USA, i.e. exxcerise or whatever on ebay, and thelastore.com and some other sites, which his link is part of that group.

A hood is a hood, their aircooled hoods are decent...... the bulbs suck!!!! Ballasts are hit or miss, either they run, run hot and semi faulty, or just don't fire period.... they where decent about warranty.... but u have better other options out there. The tent I got from them actually I loved, better then both the Growlab and Secret Jardin's I have ran or seen, for way less $$$$$. But the electrical stuff was well......

It was aight, I mean u get what u pay for the most part...... but for less $$$$ a hundreds bucks less you can get brand stuff from a legit dealer outta cali as well. http://laxhydro.com/lax-packages/hf-xtrasun-combo.html 1000watt switchable sun system sg ballast with an aircooled hood and bulb for $199. oh and they also carry this one: http://laxhydro.com/lax-packages/sunlight-combo.html . Ok so its not a digital ballast, and you don't get both bulbs, but you do get brand name gear, save $100 and actually get better quality and support American Jobs.

Can't beat that deal dude! and its legit sun system/hydrofarm gear not some idk shady made in china stuff.

Lol ok but 6" does not fit inside 5" and harbor freight is very poor quality. Lol I've tried lots of there tools.
As long as you are just cutting soft wood or drywall I'm sure it'll be fine and most of the teeth should stay intact. Lol.

Yeah those throw away hole saw kits will be dull as shit after 1 use! Maybe 2/3'rds of a use! They'd only be good for cutting holes in bread for Egg-in-a-Nest after that LMAO! Lenox hole saws will last FOR EVER doing wood AND metal, same for their unibits, Lenox rocks!

The thing about Harbor Freight is...ya never know....I know people that bought tile wet saws for $150 and it lasted for years and years and the same with a lot of their other tools. Most are just throw away use a cpl of time tools but don't totally dismiss it. I'd bet those hole saws last for at least a few good cuts..at least..maybe not in oak but who's cuttin' in oak. Thats a lotta metal for the price. Wonder if Lenox'd fit on the center piece of the Harbor...those alone are a fortune when you buy Lenox..but I agree...Lenox is the best...a fortune..but the best. I'd give em a shot. If you have a HArbor Freight store near you go in....amazing store with tons of cool stuff. As a builder I was lovin' it...and I usually buy the best tools but still...ya know?

yeh...ya know yer not getting a Festool kapex saw when you buy their tools but the exciting thing is..you wouldn't have to rent one if you needed it...buy-use-throw-out...cept I know lots of people that said the tools lasted a lot longer than they expected...when I went into their store I was shocked!! Expected to see lots of garbage but not so..maybe 25% garbage/disposables....but like their drill bits...needed some for my impact gun cause the little ones always break on me so who needs good ones..I know the good'uns are gonna break pretty quickly anyway and they're expensive..relatively speaking...Scored a set of 12 for $6 VS $26++ Who ever thought to start HF was a genius. Sell known shit tools cheap...great idea. Sometimes thats all you need...sometimes.

I was looking for a liquid measurer there to measure out nutes to no avail...too bad...seemed like just the place to score them too...was on the prowl while I was in there looking for what I could use in my grow room...scored some short 12 gauge power cords cause all mine are way too long. Got 3 for $7 each...12 gauge. Good price..had to buy my girls at least sumpin'...lol...a fucking power cord...hahaha...

Tried finding a red bulb flashlight so if I wanna go into my GR when the lights are out I can...but nothing like that there either..oh well...

kaine - this is a thread to post deals not to ask where to find them at. All the best online stores are already listed here you just have to do a little bit of work and look through the thread.

dipm0de - The reason the hood looks funny is because the ballast is attached to it. It does seem like a good deal but I personally wouldn't get it because it will put off more heat at plant level then a detached ballast. I think if you look around you should be able to find a descent air cooled hood and ballast combo for maybe 60-80$ more and its good to have the option of going air cooled because you will probably need it at some point.
