Danggg, I just bought one like a week ago. So far all I have done is fire it up for 5 minutes. Seemed bright as shit to me. I upgraded from a 250 no name ballast kit, and a $20 hps bulb from homedepot, to a 400w lumatek bulb and ballast. I got a great deal on the ballast, so I jumped on it, then I did some review searching to find that some lumateks had compatibility problems with bulbs. But the majority of threads I read had good to say. I figured that lumatek knows lumatek...so I copped the lumatek bulb. I also figured that lumatek made those bulbs to support the superlumens switch on the ballast. Hopefully it will serve me well...

I've never had compatibility problems with my lumatek, but then again I never shop at home depot for hps bulbs either. If you buy a high quality bulb you should be fine.

There is a thread on here that shows that horlix bulbs are definitely the best. You get what you pay for.

lumateks are fucking awesome, if they're bulbs are as good as their ballast's then i think we may have one of the best products on the market

Q. Do you make an HPS lamp?
A. Sun Pulse makes an HPS lamp, but it can never be used in high frequency electronic ballasts. Millions of dollars were spent by Sun Pulse Labs, and research clearly proves the HPS lamp cannot be used for electronic HID ballasts, ever. Like the typewriter, HPS lamps are a thing of the past.
In addition, an HPS lamp is approx. 2.2K,( or 22% of the Sun) and has a narrow band of light. Red light also has the least amount of energy of all the colors of the spectrum; you couldn't light a solar panel with HPS light. Why pay money to make light that has the least amount of energy
