I have bought a power compact four bulb system with the four led lights after being told by a nearby lfs that it would handle anything. Later, I was told by MY lfs that it was a mistake, a $480 mistake. I was advised by some here to look at LEDs. I have, a lot. Today while again in MY lfs I'm telling the owner and he says, "if you want to be able to keep anything, I have something I'll give you". He then comes out with a 1000 watt metal halide. This thing lit up the whole store! Then he explained about the retrofit and use of fans etc... He GIVES me the light saying he doesn't need it anymore. What are your thoughts? Should I use this light or continue shopping?
