Hello all just looking on some input.I'm thinking about ordering this light and was wondering if there might be a better option for the money or if anyone has used one.

Thanks in advance!

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/172356552126

Or A19/e27 bulbs. I think they are even better than HPS now. Plus you can re-use them as normal bulbs if you go upgrade.

Find a deal on 2700k CCT whites, get some socket adapters an power bars. You can be up and going in an afternoon.

If that's all the $$ you can spend I say save for one of the $150 HPS light specials on Amazon and rock with that. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-GLK400GW19-Digital-Dimmable/dp/B004YXDHX6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1475121640&sr=8-4&keywords=400w+HPS

Until you can save for a better light later or build an LED yourself that will rival or surpass the other light. And that's if you feel a need to change the HPS after you use it.

I don't know enough about electrical power to mess with it. I would probably burn my place down lol

If you go with that, just be aware that this "800W" light is really a 200W light, and reviews elsewhere are less than stellar. The price looks good though, if it will meet your needs. Personally, not something I'd buy.

The problem I am having is my 600 and 1000 are in my flower room which always has something in it. I have a 4 bulb t-5 but my plants have outgrown it I'm looking for a replacement that will get me through the small tree stage until they are moved over to my flower room

^^^^^
This. T5's and even three 2-bulb T8s in veg does a nice job. A 2 bulb T8 fixture at Lowes is $19 or the junky wal mart one is $10.97. 2 bulbs about $8. About $75
Or go on eBay and get a 4 or 6 bulb T5 for slightly more.
