I have a Digital Plus bulb from HTG. Its their house brand is works great. I also have Digilux, which look badass, but mine both quit working after just a few months.

Bro i run the cheapest 600hps bulbs available at my hydro store! That place has 600HPS's in the $120 range of higher. Fuck that SHIT! Keep your bulb itself clean of anything even oils off your hands, clean the glass on your reflector so no light is impeded. Have the right reflector for your grow space. A 600hps bulb for me is $30 to $45 max. I think its a C.A.P. maxilume? BLACK BOX BLUE LABLE FOR 6500K, RED LABLE FOR 3000K. They work the same as the expensive ones, a light bulb is a light bulb.

I go with the cheapos too. HTG bulbs are $40 but they recommend the digital plus for digital ballasts which is $50. 1 year warranty and they work great.
8 miles high under HTG 600:
