i think lumatek are your best bet for a dig ballast. Discount Hydroponics i found they have some good prices.

 

[pickleman]

ive been doing a lot of looking and the cheepest best is i believe a lumatek 1000 for 320 w/free shipping on ebay

all i use are lumatek duel 600s there better than any digital 1000s MORE BANG 4 YOUR BUCK!!!! and you can cover more space for less money,and you get more lums cuz its 2 600s instead of one 1000 a lumatek digital 1000 only has like 200 more lums then one 600, o yea and they fire hps and mh conversion bulbs, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK 4????? go with the lumatek duel 600 there the SHIT!!!!!!!! i ordered all mine on ebay they have package deals you get a lumatek duel 600 2 hydrofarm air cooled hoods and 2 hortilux super hps bulbs for 650.00 thats unbeatable, trust me the duel 6 kills a 1000

 

[headbandrocker]

What are the duel 6oos,2 bulbs per ballast? Please elaborate i am very interested!

 

[SlightlyStoopid]

yes, what he was explaning was a dual 600watt hps/mh sounds real good to me... If I had the money I would get that...

 

[DRCANNABIS]

yeah if ya got the dough, go with the dual 600's. Make sure you got plenty of ventilation.

 

[raidercelticfan]

a lumatek duel 600s is 1 ballast that runs two 600 watt hps or mh bulbs, you can run 1 600 at a time or flip a switch and plug in another cord and bulb 2 run 2 600s, they fire hps and mh conversion bulbs, i use hortilux super hps for flower and sunmaster mh conversion bulbs for veg, no more changing ballasts when you flower

 

[headbandrocker]

So you can run 2 x 6oos at the same time off one ballast?

Speaking of Digital Ballasts.... Anybody know about these ones from HidHut ?

Discount Grow Lights from Hidhut - Hydroponics | Grow Lights UFO LED | Hydroponics Supplies

Seem really good deal for digital ballast with everything you need!

 

[SlightlyStoopid]

yes... lol we have told you that acouple of times now xD hard to believe I know, bad ass huh? I would get that shit dude... and while your at it buy me acouple seeds....

 

[pickleman]

the dual is basicly 2 ballasts in one. u will have 2 hoods and 2 lights that plug into one ballast it has 2 outlets total 1200 watts

I have 3 600 Lumatek and they are very nice, but I don't know if I'm having bad luck or what but 2 of them have already went out within a couple of months of use. Luckily they have a 5 year warranty and the shop had no problem replacing them with new ones, but its still a pain in the ass especially if I was to have gotten them online. For that reason I would hesitate in getting a dual 600.

 

[headbandrocker]

Any feedback on these?

I read that electronic ballasts Lumeteck,etc...are not digital ballasts.
What is a true digital ballast? Any links? Thanks
