    We have already answer this in another post. For about 110 you can get an 1,000W HPS Digital Ballast and use 250W 400W 600W or 1,000W is going to be your best bet.

    I just got a lummi black 600w hps dimmable ballast, about 50-60 if you google it. Few other ppl mentioned it, seems reliable. Easily get 2 under it.

    Yup like that

    The lumii black digitals are great for the money, could pick one up for your budget with ballast, reflector and bulb.
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.
