Hi everybody,

I am building a Grow Box... (Instructions and Pictures to follow) but I need help with the lighting.

I want to put both a 400W HPS and a 250W MH bulbs but I dont want to spend $500 on a Ballast.

I saw this on-line and I thought it was a Great Idea, this Dude has step-by-step instructions if ya'll interested.

But now to my Question...does any one know where I can get a light fixture shown in this picture?

Im guessing you mean the mogul socket? well here are 2 different places I found them just on there own http://homeharvest.com/lampcomponentspartsSS.htm or http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=HLLASASSC but you still need a ballast and some ballasts come with it also some hoods do 2. Hope this helps. And there should be no reason to spend 500 dollars on a ballast you can get 400 watt with everything for 120$ + shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/400-watt-HPS-GROW-LIGHT-400w-System-Hydroponic-sun-lamp_W0QQitemZ400036043201QQihZ027QQcategoryZ42225QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem :peace:

Thank you Nb you know what... I went ahead and made an investment on a Conversion Ballast for MH and HPS, a Cheap Hood and a 400W HPS Bulb all for $190 Us Dlls. that was a Good Deal Right? that way I can Veg with MH and Flower with HPS.

now..

do you know how I can post pictures along with the text on the threads???

I would like to share how I build my Box..

well to use a image thats already on the net aka photobucket or any image you just right click the image and go to copy image location then click the insert image button on the message tools its the yellow box with the 2 mountains and the sun and paste the image location there. Or if you just want to upload straight from your computer go to the attachment buttton on message tools its the paperclip button and search for your pics on that < You may have to downsize your pics though so they will upload but its easy enough. then when your done preview your post to make sure they showed up. The light should be well worth it 2 :peace:
