Re: This shit is expensive!! I don't want to think about how much I have tied up in it...
But...you are going to LOVE your new bow. Next on your list should be a Honda EU2000/3000. Then Metal Halide Lighting. _________________ 1854 Sportsman's Fab 2046 Uncle-J Skiff 35 GTR |

Re: This shit is expensive!! I tried MH but prefer HPS light for the murky water around here. I heard in clear water the MH are the ticket.

Re: This shit is expensive!! Ballast: $140
RAB 1500W Halogen fixture: $50 Bulbs: $10 Mogul Base: $10 Ballast Power Cord: $10 So $1,100 for the five lights or $220 per light give or take a few $$ BUT...The ballast are only 4.5 lbs a piece, each of my lights weigh only about 7 lbs total, a normal core/coil 400W MH ballast/fixture is going to weigh in around 30 lbs, so I'm saving 115 lbs on my light setup. _________________ 1854 Sportsman's Fab 2046 Uncle-J Skiff 35 GTR |

Re: This shit is expensive!! I thought you could only use "probe start" metal halides and not "pulse start" with a HPS ballast. Is that correct?

Re: This shit is expensive!! Its all upfront costs....
Glad to see that the stuff is pretty durable.... I wish I had a friend that had a rig like mine........... It would be faaaaaaaaaaaaar cheaper to pay gas money... I broke a 45$ prop.... put on another one and broke it too...went home..took the deck off and got ready for duck season! This summer should be good I have most of my "up front" costs completed. Been shooting fish for 20 years. The arrows are cheap... Then again so was shooting them from a canoe... |
