Well, I can tell you that since they use magnetic ballasts instead of electronic ones, they are going to use more energy which means higher monthly bill. Electronic ballasts give better light quality, shorter start up time, give off less heat, and use about half the electricity as their counter parts.

the first one looks pretty cool but the magnetic ballast is going to get crazy hot i hear...second doesnt look like a good deal at all to me imo..theres usually 250w pendants in the for/sale forum here..maybe wait it out until you find one you like?

plus the seller on the second link only has 12 transactions.....i wouldn't buy something like that unless they had a sparkling reputation to uphold, like 800 transactions with at least a 98% successful.
