Its time to replace a few bulbs in the grow room. My 2 600w HPS bulbs need to go so I'm looking for some advice on some replacements. The current bulbs are what came with the kit so I'm sure they are not the most ideal. I did a cursory peek around and noticed a few brand names popping up but wanted to get some advice from the community here on what they use.

Are they digital ballasts? I'd go with digilux if so and if magnetic then I wouldn't know probably hortilux
Sorry, should have mentioned that... One is a digital balast and one is a magnetic. They were bought at different times. Planning on replacing the magnetic with another digital soon and maybe keeping the magnetic as a spare.

Think I'll give that Digilux a spin with the digital ballast and just break down and buy the other digital ballast when I'm at the hydro store tomorrow.

The guy at the store has been wanting to sell me this Tru Sun 330 setup from these guys http://dnagrow.com/ . I can't cross the threshold of the store without the barrage of "this is the best ever". I hadn't really seen anything listed here about those lights and really didn't want to fork over the equivalent of the GDP of a small country to buy the damn thing. Anyone know anything about them?

Hydrofarm recently purchased the manufacturer of Digilux and has already said they will be keeping some stuff and discontinuing the rest. Would suck to buy a $70 bulb from a company that may not exist in a couple months.
