the mh ballasts need to be replaced, they are only 160w not 250. this is relatively easy but must be brought into the equation as a related cost, also many people replace all the bulbs this can be expensive.

I thought people liked the newer electronic ballast? Those bulbs are garbage in my opinion also.
