Sunmaster or Eye Hortilux Bulb for Digital Ballast?

[BlackWidowSpyder777]

I have a Lumatek 600 watt digital ballast that is also dimmable. I've heard that some bulbs don't work well with digital ballasts, so I don't know which bulbs to choose. Should I use Sunmaster or Eye Hortilux?

I use a 600w Sunmaster with a digital ballast and it works great! Tested and approved for over a year (mine that is).

From what I hear, Hortilux bulbs and Lumatek's 600w ballasts aren't a very good combo. Works fine on the 400w and 1000w, but there was a thread of a user complaining about them on his Lumatek 600w. Just fyi..

Yes your ballast will pop that expensive bulb, go with the sunmaster.

i just copped a 600w hort w/ enhanced spectrum a few days ago, i have a dig ballast. The guy mentioned something about either my ballast going or the light going (too high for the hydro store forgot haha) bc of some volt range it puts out, but he said the hort has a 1yr factory warranty so hold on to the receipt
