Been following along and have continued to enjoy it. I have the BC 29 as well and have struggling with whether I wanted to get better lighting than the stock set. It has been up about a year and a half, changing the bulbs out every six months. Very happy with it and how it looks but hard to stand pat. Looks like you have enjoyed the metal halides and after bouncing back and forth I think that's what I am going to get as well. Great choice.
1) You have the Sunpod 150 HQI Metal Halides, correct?YES
2) Do you have the 20 or 24 inch lamp?Its the 20" Set
3) How many timers does it require? I have 3 timers on mine, although you can prob get away with 2
4) I saw where you got a pretty good deal on yours, I haven't looked much
yet but have found the 20 inch for $248 with free shipping. Can I do
much better?No not a whole lot better, I got mine from a private seller. It was new, but I admit I got a good deal. $248 free ship is fair IMO.
5) Anything else that I would need other than the timers? Nothing that I saw when I hooked mine up Did the fan come with it or do I need to buy a clip on? Fan is intergrated in the housing of the light Do you use yours(fan)? Yes it always turns on when the lights turn on. Additionally you may need a small clip on fan depending on your location, but I havent needed one yet.
Thanks for the helpAny time, Hope it helps.
