HPS question

I would like to get some HPS lights to flower my plants...I have a small grow room setup, now that all the plants headed outdoors are out now. I kept 5 nice bushy females and would like to get there full potential I have grown a few times with less than great results (all fluorescent lights). My question is I cannot afford an actual grow light HPS with the nice reflector and all , or at least i havent found one I can afford. I'd prefer to shy away from ebay as I am pretty paranoid. I found some 100-250 watt HPS flood lights on a site called 1000bulbs.com these were well within my price range just wondering if these will work i know i will have to build some sort of reflectors for them but that is not a big deal and well worth it for the money i am saving... If I can figure out how to make a link to the exact product I will provide one to make this question a bit easier to answer. Thank you

Those are what I need.
Cool man I knew there were hps out there a little cheaper.

I will tell you though if you do the searching you will find 400w hps for 119.00

happy growing.

Yup...I got mine from HTG Supply too. Mine was like $135 (light, ballast & reflector) w/US tax & delivery. I think its a great place to start. They even offer the MH bulb for the light as well (I should have gotten one of those myself).

There may be better brands...but you cant beat that price....New out the box....and the delivery was quick (6days)....and discreet. The people @ the shop were very helpful as well. Look into it.
