Wanted to upgrade my JBJ 24 cube to hallide/ w/ actinic, is this item plug and play? any sales going on? thanks! Any other equipment needed to time this for sunrise/sunset (actinics to halide) and capabilities to use the moon lights while timer is off on main lights?

bump! need to upgrade ASAP, seems like a great option.

The halide upgrades are actually relatively intensive from an installation standpoint, which is why they're listed in our "expert series" category. These require modifying your canopy, creating a ballast enclosure box and soldering all connections.

If you haven't already, I might suggest considering our LED upgrade kits instead, which are much more user friendly, put out much less (almost non-existant) heat than halides, lower electrical usage and longer component life span. Pricing is pretty much in the same ballpark too.
