Worth It?

[bestothebest]

is this particular setup worth it? I will be buying a MH bulb to go with it for veg. It seems to be made of high end stuff. I want to be doing this size of HID lights due to the cost of LED, at least until I can afford them.

Gavita HortiStar 1000 DE Reflector Double Ended

Prism Lighting Science 1000w DE Ballast

Philips 1000w DE hps bulb


I will probably replace the hangers

Gavita DE = Top notch stuff.

Price seems high..
Gavita e series de fixture w gavita bulb/ballast is 420$ shipped.

The Phillips bulb might be a tiny bit better according to tests by growers house.. I have the psl ballast and it is ok but not great.

Couldn't agree more.

For that price I would go to a Pro 1000 DE which includes a Gavita ballast, here it goes for about $600.
