That price is for the two bulb unit. So it's actually a bit higher than I've seen .

That's a very cool site! Nice selections all the way across the board. I may order one of those switchable NextGen lights, any light with a 5 year warranty sounds good to me! Kudos on the find! Have you ordered anything from them?

OK so I think I have a new plan.

Ok so what will give me a better yield in the end.
A 150 watt hps light. Or the 325 watts of CFL lights I have now.

Ok so now on to the pros and cons of hps V CFl lights.
hps light.
pro#1: the hps light is easy to move if I have to ever move.
pro: also its just 1 light insted of 8 cfl lights rigged to a shelf screen then hung by chains.
con#1: It may get too hot in my clost and I don't have anyway to vent into an attic or anything like that.

CFL lights.
pro: they r cheaper than an hps light.
pro: they put off less heat.

con: I cant seen to get thouse rock hard nuggs the ppl r getting with an hps light.

Ive grown wit LED, CFLS, and soon to be a HPS.

Get an HPS and save yourself the trouble. You can get a 400 watt hps complete system for nothing these days. And your yeilds will be double!!
And you will have way nicer plants.

Hps light for the cheap 200 bucks look

try costlesslighting.com you can get an 8 light t5 for 200 bucks they dont really make anything much smaller, you can build your own 4 light for about that price too though, at home depot. i only veg under these light though, save your self the hassle and flower under hps.
