i am not one for anything fancy when it comes to lighting, i've always just used what was cheap at the time. maxibright, powerplant,sylvania, philips, blah blah blah. they all worked just as well as each other. never tried adjustables or digi's however but i can't see how they help matter much in my situaton.
one thing worth noting is :there is no best anything, period!
they may be the market leader and have one million people saying they are the best, but it is all a matter of opinion.
as you mention for what they cost you could buy 10 bulbs, are they really ten times better then the cheap bulb?, of course not but to some people they are worth every penny.
start cheap and then decide whether you want to "upgrade".
I try not to buy super cheap stuff it always seems to cost more in the end wether your replacing it sooner, getting unsatisfying results, or even running the risk of it malfunctioning because its a cheap piece of shit. That said I try not to get caught up in hype and throw my hard earned money away.
I use digilux bulbs I get for 60$ a piece, I also really like the galaxy ballasts Iv never had a problem with them.
Thanks Whodatnation. I too never buy the cheapest anything. I tend to go for the middle ground. I feel safer that way.![]()
hortilux is the one bulb that I keep in my room,i did that cheap light bulb thing,and 4 bulbs later,back to the hortilux....ultrasuns are good,and last but dims out fast...digimax bulbs suck ass,burn out 8 weeks....with all that said,they will all grow a plant.
Hey doobs mind if I nit pick some?

Doob, you'll need to tie that thing down in sure as the plants will just take it skyward. Looks so cool in there.
Beat you to it.
