I thought the micro MOLE would workout for me. Ive blown 3 in the last year. No problems with other electronic or magnetic ballasts in that hut for 3 years prior to purchasing and switching to micro mole. It usually occurs after "dimming" up 750-1000 watts. Blew a 180 dollar bulb too. The manufacturer/retailer guarantees it for 3 years, but I don't know if I want to go through the worry of it blowing out again.
