Sg 1000w magnetic ballast- 100 dollers
1000w sun master bulb- 70 dollers
Cord set and light socket- 30 dollers
I like to run vertical bulbs personally more light coverage over all and less money
in hoods if you can handle the heat ide look into the vertical threads i run cfls vertical
for vegging and 600w hps vertical for flowering
Price is an option its all about profit

digital ballasts are better in my opinion. they are quieter, fire quicker, warm up quicker, control both HPS and MH bulbs, run cooler, are dimmable sometimes, and condition power better.

I feel magnetics ballast are just as good as digitals
Magnetics last longer
cheap to work on
some can run mh and hps
Only difference between magnetic and hps are magnetics humm a lil and digitals are quiet
But unless your not runing inline fans then i wouldnt worry about because inline fans
are Way louder than a bearly noticible humm

Don't forget magnetics put off more rf interference. So depending on how many and how close you are. You can forget about listening to the radio when your lights are on.

Solis-Tek Digitals Ballast. Ushio 1k Bulbs and the Luxor 8" hood.
The Solis-Tek ballasts are just bad ass. They fire sequentially when they detect that they're on the same circuit. They have built in timers that have preset programs for 20/4 - 18/6 and 12/12. They have an odometer so you know how many hours your bulbs have been used. THEY COME WITH A REMOTE!!
Ushio bulbs are beasts...most lumens on the market.
Luxor hoods look to be the best hoods currently out.

those puppies do look badass. supposedly they run super cool. you can't air cool them though, that's the drawback. guess if you're going that deep into the wallet you can afford to bump up the a/c a little. lol.

It's all about the light. They don't recommend air cooling these bulbs. They need to run at a certain temp. My sealed room runs better open hood than my old set up that was water cooled with frescas. The added heat runs my ac just enough to keep the RH in the mid 40s dehuey only at lights out.
Works for me.

that's dialed in right there. nice.
i like the fact you can change the aluminum insert on them. i read a couple studies that said they degrade over time. something like 10-% loss on the reflective surface per year. since all hoods use the same myro aluminum basically that means after a couple years you've lost 20-30% of your reflective output from the aluminum. thought that was interesting.

if price wasn't an object, ive been hearing good things from illusion led and penetrator led technology with youtube to buff them both. if it actually does work like they claim, you could be a very happy grower.
