Hey all

So i've decided to actually spend some decent cash, realizing that is the only way to go TRULY stealth while still controlling environmental conditions.

I've got a 400 watt digital ballast, it was supposed to be super quiet, but there is a humming. It's not as bad as a regular magnetic ballast, but not silent.

I want a SILENT ballast. This is vital.

Any help? All the digital ballasts claim to be quiet, but I want to hear from someone who can actually give testimony.

Cheers

I own 8-600 watt and 6-750 watt digital lumiteck ballast and can put my ear to it and won't hear a thing. I can also lay my head on it after it being on for hours and not get burned.

digitals "do" generate heat. i occasionally use a luma 400 watter, and w/o a fan blowing on it, it gets fairly hot. noting like the coils though.
