    I am not endorsing this item.
    The price looks reasonable and the setup looks like something I would buy I were able to build my own (DIY Kit). If the bulb is a good color to your eyes when you fire it up ( I know it says 10k ) then it looks like a good buy as long as they stand behind their 3 year warranty.

    If want a upgrade switch your VHO's to overdriven T-5s. You already have the icecap and 4x80watt of T-5 will out perform almost any 2x250MH rig.
