question about 150 watt hps system

http://www.ballastrus.com/product/150w-HPS-ballast.html

That is the very first ballast that popped up. But I am assuming you want me to find a complete system fans and all?

so you went and found the street light congratulations! what light do you actually think hes using? that is literally just the ballast i would love to see someone growing with that you gotta be kidding just own up that your wrong

and it stabilizes at over 200w still c'mon 150w just arent meant for growing

A 150w ballast is a 150w ballast. Yours is just set in a pretty little hood with some fans.

Here is you one if you don't know how to wire things.

mine is built like every other one on the market besides the the digital ones which i already acknowledged earlier in the thread. I've proven my point the 150w ballast can pull a lot more

It is not the ballast pulling more. It is the other electrical components within the system.

EDIT: Sorry, it is pulling more but only 20% max.

Says 3.2 on the side of the light.... You're all wrong ... I win

I cannot believe the number of responses to this.
Just buy a goddamn kill a watt meter, If that breaks the bank, you should probably just give up now or grow outdoors

This is a good topic.
Is the gross power consumption only due to the cheap chinese piece of crap ballasts they are loading in them?

This one looks more efficient?
