hey i am buying one of these

http://barrie.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-garden-400-watt-HID-lights-W0QQAdIdZ162050522

400 w HID is all is says in the description 112 v plug...

i was wondering what i should hook this thing up to i.e. a surge bar..something to stop a fire when i fry a circut...

this is my first grow and this light will have to be contained in a cab any advice?

I don't think that is a good deal.

I bought a 400w HPS setup, with batwing hood and a bunch of nutes for under $300 at my local hydro shop.

you can find something like that at home depot and shit... and wayy cheaper....

that's kind of like a parking lot light....

go to local hardware stores, say the light is for a garage and you do a lot of soldering on small electronics, so you need more light than the crappy flurous you have....

you should find something like that, 400 watts of HPS for about 50 bux....

for 500 bux you should find a ballast, with a good reflector, new bulb, warranty, etc, etc.....

The ad say eleven 400 watter lamps/ballasts for $500 fellas. Not bad. 112v means it'll plug into a regular socket

If u get 11 for 500 it will be all good.

What kind of HID light is it? MH? HPS? Don't wanna buy one only to find out it's a mercury vapor lamp or something.

its all 11 for 150 he emailed me back

i am trying to buy just one for 15 or 20 bucks he said just buy them all for 150 then ireplied but im waiting on a reply
