takes both bulbs and the power is adjustable

Seems to be working..the MH is very white for a MH though o_O

I want another soon...

would some one tell me if these are crap?:confused:
and could I hang those bulbs vert?

My only concern with those low end setups is safety, and the thought that they are more prone failure or starting a fire. This could very well just be in my head. Whatever works, brother!

Go with gavita. If you wan't a 1000. go with gavita too. you wan't find a better ballast than that. 100% quality. More light. Converts 230 V into 400V.
