    So I found a nice deal from a friend of a buddy and he is selling me a Ice Cap 250W Single fixture metal halide with a ballast (he supposedly doesn't know which brand it is). I'm new to metal halide lighting as I have been using T5 Lighting. I was wondering if this fixture came with a a ballast as well and they are asking $150CAD, is that a steal? The light is not even a year old and supposedly in very good condition, please get bak to me guys, thanks!!!

    New ones cost anywhere from $250 - $275

    Lets say he has a nice Icecap ballast you will have to subtract $75 for the bulb because its old im assuming

    $275 - $75(used bulb) = $200

    Used price $200 - $75(used discount) = $125 should be the right price...Just IMO

    used price also depends on the ballast brand and the reflector model
