Im running lumitecks now but sunsystem has them all beat.They dont blow bulbs and the ballast run for years without the fear of fire or breakdown.Ive got two sun systems that are almost ten years old and work fine.You can have them reworked real cheap, after 10 years the capacitater goes bad. ...peace
