My 600 watt hortilux hps bulb burnt out after about 6 months of use.
It is powered by a Quantum 600 watt digital ballast.
I took it to the grow store where I bought my entire setup at, the owner laughed at me like I was some sort of idiot, telling me that I needed a special "digital specific" bulb.
At this point I was really irritated with the pompous store owner, " I bought the entire setup here, you see me 3-4 times a MONTH, and you are just now telling me that I need a "special" bulb for my $190 digital, dimmable ballast??? Give me a normal one for now and order up a new one." i said shortly. Payed for the bulb and walked out.
Anybody have any info on this? I've never seen bulbs marketed as "for digital or magnetic ballasts".
Any help greatly appreciated.
