no but i have an electronic and it's great. i would get a bigger size...why? i have a 600 but with my ventilation i can only run a 400 bulb. and if i get a different room i may be able to use 600m bulb down the road. just thinknig ahead but that is a good one

I have been running two 600w HTG setups for 3 years now with zero problems.
One arrived with a bad bulb & when I tried to use it (months later) I found that it had gotten banged around in shipment & was broken internally. A new bulb arrived within days @ no cost.
I buy all my gear from them now.

I like the older magnetic hps ballasts because they can run cmh bulbs. The outfit would probably be ok, but there's better lights cheaper if you keep an eye out.
