Digital Ballasts

Sorry about that I got this

http://htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=48956

I got a cool tube added on an extra HPS bulb (sunmaster) and an MH bulb so my price was a bit higher. In usual fashion Tony got it to me in about 2 days but I live in the same state as htg. I really must give them kudos on the delivery and customer service end, Tony runs a very professional business. He even sent me an email to make sure I got everything OK.

The Lumateks from Hydrofarm are all wired/ready to go and accept a Hydrofarm cord.
Earlier models were not pre-wired and you had to attach the light cord to the leads.
This is where alot of the RF inteference/radiation was coming from on earlier models.

And yes..prices..at least wholesale..are coming down. The first models I bought were right under $200 each. A year later they are $140 or so. Good news for all growers, for sure.

I Bought My Furture-brite 600watt. E-ballast In July 15th 07 , So It's Still Pertty New ,but It's Been Working Real Good And I Can Change To Mh . To Hps . With No Prob's , It Has The Fan In It And It's Very Cool Running . The Metal-halde Bulb I Been Running Can't Hardly Tell That It Has Been Running As Long As It Would Have Been If I Would Have Used A Standerd Ballast . So 'am Guessing The E-ballast's Are Easyer On Your Bulb's I'll Post A Pic. Later To Show The Differents. If You All Like? I Hope I Understanded The Post Right So I Can Give The Right Answers To All Of You Good Pepole.. Cc

Im using 2 600 watt switchable mh600 difital ballast from www.Marylandhydroponics.com.I paid $115 each with complete cordsets shipped.I love them nice and bright they are overdriven so they actual are 650watts each running enhanced spectrum hps bulbs. They sell 400 watt version for $99 or the lumatek 600 for $167 .I switched from running 3 400 watt magnetic ballast and have seen about a $30 decrease in my first bill will keep eatching.Light is massive bright and they are silent.These have built in cooling fan so they are cold to the touch no heat.Im not going back to magnetic ballast anytime soon.

Oh and mine are straight switchable no conversion bulbs or switch to flip just pop in your mh or hps bulb and go

Anybody have any experience running a Flip/Flop relay, (for dual lights) on a digital ballast?

I read somewhere that it shouldn't be done, but I can't understand why?
