Oh yeah its a small town not to many internet providers what to do what to do? It is in my flower room. In my veg room i have 3 cinder block walls. Two with dirt behind them do you think it would be a good idea to try this. Also he said if i plug it in again they will cut my service. I will call before i do .

lol thats insane! so your 600 ballast brought every ones internet down? and they were able to trace it to your house? that's to high of a risk to use if true, buy a magnetic ballast.

That is incredibly odd. I would talk to tech service at the ballast company. My cable Internet line runs through my flower room with 4k watts and I have no issues. PLUS, those 8 600 ballasts are about 4 feet away from a 18", 1000 watt home theater sub and nor one bit of hummm.

They fixed it. I love the light ballest reflector combo , so do the plants. I was wondering if i took my air cooled intake from outside the room , hooked it to the light but left the one going out not hooked up but 2 feet away from fan with my 1000 watt batwing being aircooled aswell. that is untill i get the rest of the lights and aircool them right.

Tip from the pros... Light movers suck fat balls... I had 2 1000w on a 6 foot track they still sucked... Get raptor hoods or bigfoots instead. The constant intensity does way better.

I was thinking 6 600 watters stationary like recommended.If i fell they need more side light I was thinking 75, 150, or 250 watt mhs vertically hung throughout the room.
For now will put my 400 watt on a light rail for the veg room moving 3 feet and pausing 60 seconds Untill i buy a 16 light quantem t5 or another quantem 600 watter (recommendations welcome).
