Has anyone ever used hypotek ballasts? Im thinking of getting 2 600w kits but i dont wanna get it if they suck
fehk lumatek<------ opinion derived from personal experience.
yeah but if a mag ballast breaks you can fix it yourself! You don't have to send the damn thing in and wait for a new one. Fuck all that. Not worth it. Nothing china made is thoughWhatever...my ballasts have warranties and my bulbs do also. You happened to be one of the unlucky ones that had a lumatek ballast go bad. I'm sure if you search the internet you'll find plenty about magnetic ballasts going bad also. Problem with reviews is people rarely turn the internet to talk about how great something is....they only go to the internet to talk when something breaks.
Dude, Ebay sells Lumatek, Quantum Solis and many other quality ballast. If want cheap you can get that anywhere.well to make KBO happy. If you are set on getting a digital ballast...get a lumatek, quantum or galaxy ballast. Do not buy cheap ass ballasts from ebay....we don't want to hear about your house burning down. Also the ebay ones usually dont have good RF shielding so if your neighbors tv starts freaking out while your lights are on dont be suprised when the cable company comes knocking on the door.
And i bet you won't sound so smug when your almighty lumatek craps out on you.Lumatek rule ......
As for the numbnut criticizing stuff from China, I doubt very much he typed that drivel on an American made keyboard.
oh and not to mention magnetic ballasts last FOREVER . my last electric bill was 149 total running my 1000 hps 12 hours a day , looking at old bills my 1000 watter isn't anything near half my bill so i'm not turned on by the claim of power saving digitals.yeah but if a mag ballast breaks you can fix it yourself!

yeah the power saving notion was part of what got me to buy lumatek, along with less heat being generated. they definatley run cooler than mag ballasts, but they break, and they do so often. I don't think i'm unlucky because i got one that broke. I think other guys get lucky buying one that Happened to not break.oh and not to mention magnetic ballasts last FOREVER . my last electric bill was 149 total running my 1000 hps 12 hours a day , looking at old bills my 1000 watter isn't anything near half my bill so i'm not turned on by the claim of power saving digitals.
