After this second ballast from HTG i bought (Digital Greenhouse 1000w) is still blowing bulbs i need some options. What is the best digital ballast to go with, i need to run mh and hps. dont want 2 ballasts either. HTG keeps insisting its the bulbs and contiunes to replace them. Recently upgraded me to Agromax now thats blown

Was it the bulb?

I was all set to buy a 600 digital greenhouse until my latest search about their quality. Probably gonna go with the lumatek to be on the safe side.

Just talked to a Lumatek dealer yesterday, and he said he was changing brands due to issues with lumatek Ballast. I'm concedering a Galaxy, or a Quantum with a dimmer switch. Leaning towards Quantum at the moment, they support both MH & HPS bulbs, and run off 120v or 240v. The dimmer on the ballast I think can realy help. If things get to hot, just dial it down, gotta luv that. Or introducing clones/seedlings to the HID lights, you can start at 50% then go up in power as the clones adapt.
This is based on research, not experence so please concider that.
Good Luck

digital greenhouse eats up those agromax bulbs, yes HTG will UPGRADE you, but they dont jive with the digis, they did it to me many times, i insist on the cheaper growbrights and they work 100%, i cant even get an agromax to ingine, other than that greenhouse with growbrights are working well for 5 months so far
