DIY lighting for under a $100

[lurch694u]

I saw this sight that has a setup to use 6500k iwasaski bulb and a mercury vapor ballast thats says it works. Let me know what you guy and gals think. For a $100 I'll try it, unless it is going to burn my house down. <img src="graemlins//uhuh.gif" border="0" alt="[U-Huh]" />

One of our BB members built these lights awhile ago. I think it was Fender. He said they worked great. I have that website in my favorites, and plan on building one or two of them eventually. I say go for it, if you feel confident enough working with electrical stuff.
