Philips. They're the ones who originally developed the 315W system and their ballasts are square wave and very reliable. I have a few extras.what other brand of ballast is better?

What brand is hydrofarm?Philips. They're the ones who originally developed the 315W system and their ballasts are square wave and very reliable. I have a few extras.
Low frequency square wave ballasts are the key to the CMH lamp being efficient.
Then your ballast is very likely square wave.@ttystikk

Philips ballast's are still only available in 240v correct.
i have a Nanolux 315 fixture and my pictures dont have any lines or distortion appear.

Hydro farm is frankly cheap garbage. Lots of people on RIU have had trouble with their phantom line.
Then your ballast is very likely square wave.
Derp.Of course it is "square wave" you moron.
Derp.
Have a look in the mirror. The moron is the one staring back at you with the stupid look on his face.
A pic with no dark bars is information, but only to those smart enough to know what it means.Never any actual information or proof offered eh?
You're silly![]()

You're the only one with an ego problem here.That is from magnetic ballasts. Pics are clear with high frequency electronic ballasts for years. Or any electronic ballasts now.
And the ceramic metal halides you ran that used magnetic ballasts are old tech and not made for horticulture.
No one is going to see your silly old picture lines you goof.
But you will just keep on posting as if you know better as your ego is much more important to you than the actual information or the work needed to acquire it.

Keep in mind that CMH lamps won't fire at all on high frequency ballasts.
But I'm sure you knew that.
And you're STILL wrong, stupid and arrogant.Yes I already studied all about the technology. But thank you.
It is only the new designed 315's that use the new ballasts. The old 400's and 860's run on standard magnetic ones. You just keep the silly mis information coming like I said.
And you're STILL wrong, stupid and arrogant.
It turns out that all the above lamps work great on square wave ballasts. I've personally treated the 860W lamps on them.
But you keep flapping your face.
Pretty sure I've been told there is a 1000w low frequency to be used with the 860's
i believe i was told it was a philips ballast aswell.
