Default 2 x 24 watt T5HO Hopar Lighting Set

Hey guys. Im new in this forum. I was just wondering if I could upgrade the watt of the above mentioned lighting set to say a 36 watt. Has any of the bros in here DIYed his Hopar lighting set to something quite similar to what I want? How much would a ballast like that cost? A rough estimate maybe? Where to get it from? Thanks for the help....

price wise quite a big range depending on your preference.

A shop you can try is bioplast at boon keng.

Depending on my preference? Does it mean that there are different ballast's for the same 36watt output that I want? Anywhere nearer the north maybe? Haha.. But thanks for the reply bbpippen..

yeah as in what types of bulbs do you want to install.

you can even install MH quality bulbs in your light holder, just need to change the ballast and reconfigure the whole thing.

so far i only know and i trust bioplast
