damn i paid $60 bucks each for my 150w hps lights..i use a 400w now but they are great add on's...but when i just used the 150 w i had good results....one light would produce around 3oz...
so yeah that is a amazing deal

i just bought a couple 3 prong cords...cut them.. and matched up the ground with the ground wire...and connect the other 2 wires and add some tape around it all you don't want to keep them exposed..it doesn't matter which wire goes with the other with current...but the ground wires have to match up

I would be happy to help, but I encourage you to get a book on basic wiring. It is not that tough, but it is electricity. In some cases (like when my GF spilled water all over the bottom of the box tonight) it is electricity and water. Not a good combo. Get a book and learn the basics, then if you have question I will be happy to help.

I hate RTFM as an answer, but I do believe it is important in this case.

a_jon, not to bust on you, but I am not sure how comfortable I am with the idea of "connect the other 2 wires and add some tape around." These lights have a pretty good draw and put out some heat. I engineered things with a little more detail. I have thrill issues, but buring down the apartment complex is a little edgy, even for me.

yeah thats very true...i understand my approach sounded a little "unsafe"...you have to be very carefull with electricity...a manual is always a better approch then trusting someone "me" all stoned

They look great, but I have never used them. Just adds to the idea that the future of growing is CFL.
