Yep, it seems these guys have a low wattage kit. 150 watt lowbay thing with control gear for $220. That's the catalogue price tho, you may be able to talk em down. That doesn't come with a lamp either, so then you have to find one of those, too.

 

Not cheap. For a tiny bit more than that you could get a 400w son T kit, a decent fan for your space, and a light dimmer for those hot summer months - I am pretty sure HID lighting works with dimmers but don't quote me on that, I've never tried it

HID lighting does NOT work with dimmer switches. Do not attempt this.

 

You should be able to find a 200w unit I think... or am I thinking of a 250? Prob the latter. If you're still having trouble getting one from either here or o/s without tremendous expense then I'd have to say you may want to just rethink the equation. You might be able to manage with a tube style cooler for your lamp, but this could be difficult to maintain in a small space...

 

I hope you manage mate, I'll certainly look forward to any posts of your grow in the future with this light, I've been considering a micro for a while now... amongst about a gazillion other things....
