175 MH Retro for $100????

[SteveOhh]

Has anybody bought from this Ebay seller before? $100 seems really cheap, but they're offering a 3 yr warranty on everything except the bulb...............

Anybody have any experience w/ them or this setup. If it's decent, I'm all over it......

Response fromthe seller...

The bulb is made by Plus Lighting and the ballast is made by Sola.

Has anyone heard of Sola ballast, if so are they okay ?

I found this website................... http://www.solacanada.com/index.php?osCsid=3e015708a8577090e8ebc4180068d00a

I believe it's the same company, they operate out of Canada, yet the ballasts are built in Mexico..........looks like they make the $$ selling to the Americans :lol: .................if it's not, then there's 2 companies named Sola that manufacture ballasts...........
