Good one!
Any suggestions on a ballast with zero interference?!?! Lol!

Zero interference potential ever, magnetic core and coil ballasts.

I dunno about the 400 watters the OP asked about as the ones I had on my row ends were generic 400 watt digitals off amazon, not a name brand. I do know the Phantom 1kW DE Commercial ballasts don't interfere.

Sorry guys!
I have been back and forth on this and I think I am going to try fixing my issue instead of buying a new ballast.
From what I've been reading, the general consensus is one of two things:
1 - The interference is coming from the power cord that goes from the ballast to the light bulb.
2 - The interference is coming from the actual ballast itself.
If that is accurate, based off what I read from some pretty old posts, I should be able to fully wrap the cord up with some copper fabric and/or build some type of metal enclosure for the ballast to, possibly, solve the interference issue...
Just seeing if I can get some conversation going about those two options... the good, the bad and the ugly!
