I've had my (4) Phantoms 1000w for less than a year, but I did my research and they seem to be the most reliable. Based upon return rates for failed ballasts. What ever you do don't buy Next Gen IMO
The coolest part about the Phantoms is you can set the ballast to 60% 75% or 100% and it's mh/hps and 120/240 'smart'.

My girl popped her 6 pk of LA conn fems I got her for Xmas. Pissed they're fems. But it is what it is.gonna be fun to see what she's learned. I bet it's fire.
Lastwood I love the way your mind works! Here I am in possession of this old ass g13 clone only true female. And hazeman has these g13bx2's. Hmmmmm what should I do? And I got a cash bonus this month. Well I get it the first week of January. Hope they're still around. I've always wanted to take my g13 to my sour d. Would be fun to cube my g13 then take to sour d.
Gotta finish up this a11 project Lastwood dreamed up first.

How much does the phantom run? I saw a great deal for either a quantum, nextgen or galaxy digital dimmable 600 ballast between 130-160. I'm def looking into that.
.s. my 2x400 watts from htg still rocking too..

The 600w Phantom is like $180 shipped from Seeds Etc on Ebay in a plain brown box via Usps priority. The 1000 is like $100 more.

Does it come with a bulb etc or just the ballast and cord set?
Karmas a bitch- I take it 250 for the whole setup? Or just the ballast?

No bulb. But I got 1000 watters. Bought a 1000w digilux bulb for $59. Magnum 6in aircooled hood for 159.
I like the magnum hood better than the raptor because of how easily the glass comes out on the magnum vs the raptor has a bunch of screws and is pretty much a two person job to clean the glass.

That's a cool setup but 159 for a hood damn.. I would have been mad.. I was looking at the quantum or next gen ballast a hilux or digilux bulb and a active air inline fan all for 250 not including shipping.. I have a euro reflector I got from my 400 I can use

I can agree about the glass! it's a Bitch to clean if you take it out.
Where did you find digilux @ $59?! I paid $76 per bulb
- Phantoms $150 per ballast 600w or $250 for 1000w @ Best Damn Hydro

with the magnums I remove the ducting from the end and reach in to clean the glass or to switch bulbs. It's pretty easy to loosen one screw on the ducting clamp to pull the ducting off real quick. The glass is still a pain to deal with in the magnum IMO, it's pretty big, if there are plants below the hood I wouldn't even attempt it without moving them out of the way.
I switched to blockbuster hoods, now those are easy, the glass is on hinges and just swings open after loosening two screws that can be loosened by hand.
