everything is great. but are they better? i understand youhave nothing to compare to. what about anybody else using this ballast.

i do like the light idea and how small it is. but my ballast is quiet, not hot to touch, mounted outside the flower room. as far as efficiency, i am sure its a hog. but it only cost me $165, not $350+. i can handle the electric bill the increase is hardly noticeable, but i do think about footprints.

so my question would be if i trade in the http://www.gokigc.com/1000w_Switchab...bal-1000vl.htm for the http://cgi.ebay.com/CAP-NextGen-1000...QQcmdZViewItem
am i going to gain anything beside a more efficient ballast? or just lose another $369?

visine, any pics? what did you pay for it?

i hope this does not sound smart assed or condescending. it seems i tend to invite confrontations or perhaps look for them. begining to think its me or my tone. new years res is to correct this.

I'm not etuff, I don't try to win arguments online. So don't worry about offending, but thanks. no offense taken. I think I paid like $400 for it. not too sure. I had only used a 400 watt from before so I can't really tell you any comparisons
