Does anyone know if there would be any problem with using a high bay shop light to use for growing. They make them in both HPS and MH. There is a shop in my area unloading these 400w HPS and MH units for $20 each.
Only problem i can maybe foresee is maybe heat? I don't know how hot these ballasts get these bulbs, maybe can rig up some cooling system for it. Then again now thinking theres the fact that they would be vertically mounted instead of horizontal. maybe would be worth picking up for just the bulbs and ballasts? Or do you guys think it would just be a wasnt of money.
Im setting up my first system and trying to keep costs down. I feel like i can find stuff for cheaper with the industrial market and integrate it into my indoor garden.
Example of what this shops selling.
