I recently came upon a batch of very big grow-lights being sold in a local gov't surplus auction- they'd been confiscated and then ended up as evidence in a prosecution of someone who was growing ... something other than vegetables.
I picked up a 400 watt one in hopes of using it to start vegetable seeds next season.
It is a "Diamond Horticultural" -- I have tried googling it in hopes of finding a manual, but no luck- any suggestions?
Also, it turns out that the bulb that came in it is a 600 watt-- I'm not familiar enough with these to know whether that might safely be used with the 400 watt power supply/ ballast (might the supply self-limit the bulb?) or whether that'd be asking for trouble.
Suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
Trevor
