Anyone out there have one of these? If so what do you think about them? How does the dimming and multi-wattage work?
I've got the 600w dimmable version. Works great but I haven't really used the dimming function. There hasn't been a reason for me to turn it down...everything does awesome at 100% intensity.
The versatility of the multi-wattage ballast is pretty cool, though. If I were going to a smaller space and heat were a concern, it would be nice to be able to run a 400w bulb off the 600w ballast and not have to buy a whole new one.
Just to clear this up, my understanding is that you should never use an inappropriately rated bulb. Otherwise that'd be plastered all over the box as a feature.it would be nice to be able to run a 400w bulb off the 600w ballast and not have to buy a whole new one.
It is a feature. The latest ad in Maximum Yield explains it pretty well:Just to clear this up, my understanding is that you should never use an inappropriately rated bulb. Otherwise that'd be plastered all over the box as a feature.
Yeah, its strange it doesn't mention it on the box or even on their website. I only knew about it because I saw the ad.Wow. I stand corrected. Mine must have been an early production model. It only gives percentages. Awesome! Flexibility FTW!
