I have figured it out. Its a 400 watt MH/hps ballast, but the cabinet itself is approved for the other wattages to meet the IP65 safety standard.

Hey guys. I just acquired this lamp that I´m planning to use for a grow box. I dont really know much about it, or about ballasts at all, for that matter. Notice that one picture where markings on the lid seem to indicate that the lamp can power hps and MH bulbs in 100- 150- 250 and 400 watt...

I´m building my speaker grow-box as we speak, and expect to start growing in a weeks time or so. I finished a grow in the same speaker a month ago, and in the process I learned alot. You can follow the build here...

Hey man. I am right now in the prosess of building a stealth speaker-grow. I have done a speaker grow once before aswell... I´ll have somewhat more space than you to play with, but i have learned alot about growing in very small spaces . Firstly, how big is the cabinet? Is it one of those big...

The second priority is cooling and lightning. Now, this being a low-budged project and all, I will make use of what components i allready have. The 60w tornado has proven itself, so it will be used again. In addition I will add a 70w hps. The reason being that I gott several of those bulbs lying...

Keeping all this in mind, I am ready with a new design... Lets start with the most obvious aspect first - the speaker box itself. In order to make the overall maintinense easier, i will re-enginer the door in such a way that it will be attached to some heavyduty "drawer-slides" that i got laying...
