but the rep just said it was fine to run 600's, simple
Prism is an off brand and the growers house in house brand. Not sure how comfortable I would be myself in that line period.
No, I doubt I'll ever use 1k,s the rep said they recommended using 1k's so that dumbasses wouldn't put in a 600 and crank it up to 1150.
Solistek is hard to find, and growers on Icmag give good reviews for the prism ballast, and it has a 3 year warranty.
I posted a thread trying to get more opinions on this ballast from people who have actually had experience with this ballast. The people over at icmag DO have experience, and generally report good things such as cool running.
You can keep your passive aggressiveness to yourself bud done trying to help. Have a good one.
You were the one talking junk, you tell me the ballast is an in house ballast that you wouldn't trust, giving no reasons,having NO actual experience with it, tell me to do more research, then when I tell you about growers on IC that do have experience with it, you act like they don't know what they are talking about, and ask me why I posted a thread since I have all the answers! You can keep your idiocy to yourself.
Good luck grower.
Good luck to you Sir!
I want to run the Gavita 6-750 bulb, Gavita claims the can be run at 600 with no efficiency loss
So you are getting a top tier 750w de bulb, and want to run it on a cheap 1000w ballast dimmed to 600w? Lol........ just buy the gavita 750 de flex kit and have a rock solid and efficient setup.
I don't care about ICmag one way or another, I don't "feel" anything different inside or out. No, if you read anything about the ballast it is capable of being dimmed just like the gavita. Reviews on youtube for ballasts usually don't show much difference in performance between the brands.
It was a joke,sort of..............how about you email Jair at gavita north America and ask him if his company's bulb will run optimally dimmed on that ballast, you like talking to reps.
I'll just use my crystal ball instead of emailing him, hmm, the gavita rep just mentally messaged me to say that the gavita bulb will NOT run optimally on any other ballast! Who da thunk it?
So you'll go by youtube videos, cheap chinese ballast rep say, and icmag guys opinions but not the Gavita? who's name is on the box( phllips, partner , are the manufacturer of the bulb) ....................make's sense
, i'll show myself out
