Club 600

Any of you guys recommend any ballasts in particular for 600w? I have two BlockBuster 8" with Eye Hortilux Blue for veg and Eye Hortilux Super HPS lamps. My old galaxy's shit the bed and am a bit out of touch with what's good for 2017 or what still carries the torch. Thanks a ton. I appreciate any help!

I'm having a hard time choosing between the Solis Tek 600w SE/DE, Eye Hortilux Gold 600w, and the Galaxy select-a-watt 600w.


I do see that the galaxy specifically mentions the Sun System branded hoods which I will be using (Sun System Blockbuster 8"). However my lamps will be Eye Hortilux Blue MH for veg then Eye Hortilux Super HPS for bloom which would make the case for the Eye Hortilux Gold ballast? The three ballasts listed here are all 120v/240v capable although I will be using only 120v with my two 600w lights in my 8x4x7 tent so that doesn't matter to me much. Aside from that, price point is fairly the same with them all within the $160-$180 each price tags. I'm not asking for someone to tell me to get something, I came to this thread for this purpose in hoping your experiences would give me better insight as I have never used any of these models and don't want to regret this decision as I am fairly strapped for cash but can afford the initial start up with tax season here. I would have posted links but I'm a new member and apparently can't do that yet. I appreciate any input, I just keep getting a vague input or am being patronized as I had I on grasscity. Thank you RIU!
I think what people are trying to say is that, really there is not that much difference. Unless you are running 1000s of these lights in an industrial set up the % differences are not going to be noticed at a hobby grower level. They will all serve you well.

If they're all the same price I bet they come from the same manufacture in china.
All the same
