That was $75 for the 4' long reflector and ballast, complete with 54watt 4x4' T5 ho tubes in either 6000k grow or 2700k bloom.
The same setup I would pay $125-$175 at a hydro store. But not as good quality of hardware. Pretty much the same light output, although it took about 2 hours before the light tubes put out full strength light. 90 day warranty or something short like that.
Both lights I ordered worked. On end of the tube holder on one fixture was not mounted right so I had to muscle it back into position with a flathead screwdriver. I didn't break the plastic so it is all good.
