Do any of you have any experience with this light??

48" captive sun 2x 250w mh mogul based w/ 2x 110 vho actinic. factory magnetic ballast there is also 2 4" fans mounted in the hood. The VHO's and 10000 bulb are about 1 yr old. The other mh is a hamilton 14000 and it has been used for about 2 months.
I might buy it and was wondering if anyone has used it or heard of it.

Wish I could help but if the price is right it may be a good scoop!

He wants $300 for it. What are the pros and cons of mag. vs electronic ballast?

Normally the electronic ballast will run much cooler, light most lamps, & are slightly more efficient depending on the manufacturer, both are good IMO, also the magnetics are way bigger. I still don't know what or how the fixture is made so hope someone would fill in but that sounds reasonable to me for the cost.
