This video shows the kinda spectrum I like to run.
They have a spectra very similar to my Riant 400w...

i emailed them. they took forever to get back to me. but $859 for a 400 watt. 1 year warranty on the ballast and 5 years on the reflector and i don't think they cover the bulb. a rip off if anything

Have been trying to find out what is the most efficient form of lighting. Researching led, induction etc. Read the first 25 or so pages of this thread... so i was starting to think that maybe led or induction are pretty good options for efficiency. But then I found these digital ballasts that seem to have been around since 2010 called glogreen. They are eballasts that work for mh hps and cmh. It says that you use a 200w ballast to get the same bang out of your 400w light etc. Also says they dont degrade the light 95% lumen maintenance so you can keep even hps for its entire life instead of having to get a new one every 6mth. Also says it makes the burn cooler so u get 97% of the power used as light instead of heat.
So naaaooow im thinking maybe Its looking like hids with these ballasts might be more efficient. Especially if you were running verticle 800w cmh.
Only thing is theres sweet fuck all independant info on these. Seems like a serious company on face value but I dno itsnearly as if its sounding too good to be true??? Can any of u knowledgeable light heads advise me as to wether it might be worth giving this ballast a go. I am thinking to get one to run on a flip flop. Do 2 boxes (4'x4') 8 plants in each, 400w bulb verticle with a 330w magnum plus2 overhead...

If they claim that the total amount of power goes into 97% of light output....they are lying and i wouldnt trust this company....

that company is fake. they did not respond to the 8 emails i sent them. anyway mag ballast to pull less power than digi ballasts now anyway. 1000 watt mag will pull a 1025 watts where a 1000 watt digi will pull 1068 watts. amps usually are around the same between brands. digis do put out more lumens per watt though
