I'd be a little warry. I've never heard of the company Insidesun, or the bulb manufacturer. Not to mention they don't tell a brand of ballast. $75 for a 250watt halide socket, reflector, ballast, bulb, and all prewired sounds too good to be true.

Their website says "Sylvania" system. That is about it.

I know of ppl that have used them dave and they do work. i would consider upgrading the reflector and bulbs though

glad to see someone else asked before I went ahead and ordered them because that is exactlt the seller I was looking into from my thread wondering about the 175's or 400's.

Let me know what you think after you get them

Personally I wouldn't get them. It would probably be cheaper and better to look for a nice used setup on the equipment selling forum. That's just me...
