why not 250w?? to make a 175w decent you need expensive reflectors any way. really not saving much power consumption or heat.

My 250w galaxy ballasts run at 2.09a. So two would be 4.18a. Pretty reasonable.

you could go that route. so you get a 175w bulb x2 your only running 150w less, if you want to save money then only run the 250w 5-6 hours a day and run some t5s also all day.

I talked to him he said it needs new ballast and new bulbs still have tosell my light first

well if I was you, I would scoop it up.

you will not find a more affordable package than what hes letting it go for...., easier to find bulbs and a ballast later on, then a whole working unit with new bulbs...
