    Default question on cheaper lighting hid 12v

    Hi guys was wondering if any one has used
    Motor vehicle grade hid lighting don't k ow anything about the spectrum but on ebay they do quite a range in spectrum
    And they fire up like mh

    I'd love to hear from the pros
    As I'm a fairly new to growing

    They should work but I think I'd rather stick to my 250w HPS with 33,000 lumen

    My friends used to replace his after 2 grows anyway as the light spectrum changes over time.
    a money saved
    Even if u just using them in veg is going to be the biggest part of grow.
