Please tell me how you got these? I have tried to work with EBM lighting and they are horrible to work with! They only take wire transfer and that does not insure me.

I am trying to buy 20 of these ballast, 40 bulbs, 20 hangers. They are insanel hard to deal with direct as days go by in between emails and once I asked for PayPal they totally quit responding.

if you want 20 units here is where I would go. I wish I would have done this first. 3 year warranty several options available.

How high do you hang your light in veg. I pretty much keep it up at the same height for the full grow but maybe i should move it down. I am in veg and they are pretty small and the light is about 3 1/2 feet from the plant.

I have a first gen Philips ballast that I am now finally getting a new lamp on it, and I am thinking of picking up some greenbeams and prism ballasts.

Thank for your input!

Yeah, obviously those lights/ballasts are lacking something, those plants need brawndo, it's got electrolytes

Are those the same ballasts that you originally purchased when you switched to CMH? I remember when you switched to CMH few years ago, you were using Galaxy HPS ballasts before IIRC, on those same hoods too if my memory serves correct.

Btw, I hope you're well and enjoying this weather!

I used to run elcheapo Apollo ballasts and bulbs. Still got +1# per hood with 600. Get the same or more with my current setup.

I only swapped out the ballasts and bulbs when i made the switch from hps/mh to all cmh. That was it.

Super easy.


I Hate this weather. My a.c. needs to run a bit more often. I like it cold.

I had a huge issue with Apollo gear. From my finding, I could Only run Apollo bulbs with Apollo ballasts. I tried to run ushio flower bulbs and instantly fried 3x ballasts and 3x ushio bulbs instantly!!
