DaLata Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 With Joolz's permission, I am posting this. The following is a list of all the lights I looked at whilst deciding what to buy. I compiled a list of 400W lamps/kits from various suppliers. All prices are correct as at 9th Sept 2002, AFAIK. The "Total:= £xx.xx" price includes delivery and tax and should be what you sign over to the vendor. Note that €1 = £0.60 approiximately, but will change daily. In addition your bank may charge you for currency conversion (?) I am in no way affiliated with any of the suppliers below. If any supplier wants their information removed let me know and I will edit the post. If anyone has any other quotes from anywhere then PM me (to keep the thread noise free), and I will add them to the list . Dont blame me if the info is wrong (let me know ), I'm just trying to help What this list should show is that there are a variety of 400W kits at a variety of prices. No two kits can be really be compared because of the remote/integral ballast or bulb/reflector type supplied. So it will pay to shop around!

psu8c1 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 sorry for not sending this as a PM, but i cant get it to work. Are you aware of SilvaLight.co.uk? they appear to be selling a 400w Sodium low bay (whatever that is) for about £60. I emailed them and they said all it needed was wiring up. Is this light ok for growing? is it a reputable company? Im an impoverished student and want to get things up and running for as little as possible and thios seams like a challenger for smokey's custom. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
