Ok ok, easy there. I just don't want to buy something that I'm going to regret. Shits not cheap that's why.just buy the damn ballast man..making multiple threads will infact get you little to no answer as oppose if you made only one thread.
if we keep telling you to buy from htg, then obviously its a reason for it. we're potheads and stoners....we dont like to waste our breathe for no reason....we'd rather use it for our smoking!!!
if your not going to use the advice....then go back to your expensive ass website and buy from there...
I bought one a couple of months ago from the same place. This is the first ballast of any type for me.
So far so good. It works fine and no problems.
What he said, I would add to it but all you HTG lovers seem to want to give me negative feedback everytime I say HTG has problems. He bought a digital ballast that was loud enough to wake him up if that give you any comfort in their products.........I just went through alot of frustration, lost light on my plants, and $50+ in shipping charges I can't get back with a 400w digital greenhouse ballast from HTG. Long story short the ballast was very loud when I got it, and after about 3-4 days the bulb blew. I had to call multiple times to get ahold of someone there, and it tooks days for an e-mail answer. I was pretty much taken care of in the end with a partial refund/exchange, but I had to mail the broken shit back on my dime, and eat the original shipping charges. I ended up going with a Lumatek ballast from N.E. Hydro and higher quality Argomax bulbs from HTG...and losing 3 days of light on my plants. My advice would be to spend a little more upfront and save yourself alot of headaches, (I'm on my 3rd ballast/bulb in 2 months).
