Cheap Metal Halide lighting

This site:

has some of the better prices I have seen online for new lighting
equipment. I didn't look into their shipping to Canada. I ordered a UV
sterilizer from them as it was cheap, their shipping costs for the UV
unit were high... Hidden fee economy? Still ended up cheaper than other
low watt UV units elsewhere.

Well, the cheap way is to go to crappy tire and pick up some high pressure sodium
and mercuty security lights. The yellow of one cancels the blue of each other.

Or buy used gear. Craigslist.org and ebay is full of failed (or paranoid)
hydroponics setups and if you're careful and patient there are some good
deals out there.

Also check places that reccycle industrial fittings ("green stores")
as shops sometimes refit entire buildings and the lights sometimes show
up here.

These are the guys I was considering, but I've read an awful lot about their
ballasts causing fires. There is supposed to be a new and improved model,
but I'm not sure they've solved the problem.

Fed-Ex ground is the cheapest courier. USPS or CanPost is cheaper yet (no
brokerage fee). UPS seems to be the most expensive.
