I don't know about these grow lights, but $300 seems a lot of money for
a non specialised light source for alt printing. I bought a new 400W mecury
vapour
"high bay" assembly for the equivalent of about US$100. This gives me reasonable
performance, but longer exposures than a 1000W lamp, but then it cost very
much less
than the 1000W.
