Lumatek Problems?

I was wondering if anyone is have any problems with there lumatek 400w or higher MH/HPS ballasts. Esp. with the MH. I have heard alot of the bulb that people have tried begin to flicker. If anyone has had any problems or has had NONE please let me know. Thanks for your time

what kind of bulb are you using? i hear tell the conversion bulbs sometimes don't work in digitals.

I have heard the same thing. I am actually about to buy a digial and want one that can do both MH and HPS so i can switch for veg and flowering. I just want to make sure that the one that get can power most if not all bulbs. I know the CMH and conversion bulbs dont work nd thats fine. I am more concered with the standard bulbs working. like i said i am leaning towrds lumatek but and not set in stone. I anyone have any expeirence with a lumatek or galaxy or etc. please let me know. thanks

i've used luma's for years with no problems. you won't believe how quickly that bulb fires versus a coil ballast. also, lumatek has the best warranty out there.

do both MH and HPS work well. both fire up nicly and runn well?
