Solis tek advice pls

Hy guys, can you help me !!! I would like to bay 3 solis tek ballast , and after some research I got into a unknown probl ( Does anyone have some advice to buy them ? Or not ?
I read on amazon some reviews that they burn , melt the bulbs, or have some reset "problems", and on the other side they are the best ballast even better then lumatek .
Oo and the most scary part is they have some IR interference that could be easily to detect your grow room ?

Buy them new. Keep proof of purchase/receipt. They have great warrantees and customer service.

Man I bought a couple used, manly bc all the great reviews and not having any ir interference. And I can honestly say I've never had a problem with them, and they looked pretty worn. Like a cat was chewing on the cords or something. I'll definitely be buying more bro

easily a top 3 ballast brand. japanese, not chinese internals. great warranty.

That all I run i
s Solis tek. No rf issue no noise. No heat . easy start up. Run any bulb even double ended dim them can run any size bulb a 1000 watt unit put the unit into the 600 watt position. Screw in a 600 watt bulb won't blow it it up. Solis tek

Yes, the "Solis Tek" Branded ones have different graphics and slightly different specs...ex. 5% boost instead of the "Helius" 10% boost. If you scroll down a bit on that page, they clearly show "Solis Tek" Boxes and labels.

I run 15 of them for about 3 years and never had a problem with one of them

from what i remember (mine is like 5 years old) they are manufactured in China but most of the components inside the box were Japanese. maybe they've changed that since? and why the THD is lower in the Solis units vs Helios?

First of all thx for the replay s guys.
I found on amazon some ballast.
My question for you is wich one do you relay on

The first one is the most expensiv , and in description is has no ir interference.

The second is whit the remote, but i didn't find anything for IR interference.

First time I would buy this for my setup , 3 of them

What do you guys think?
In my opinion I would go for the 3 option , I m scared a bit more ) ,
if the first one is for my setup I would buy them, but if the 3rd one has the same IR interference there is no point for my to buy the first ballast right. I wish to have 2x600w hps and a 400w mh for the grow room
Thx a lot for your replays again. I m a first time qrower and sorry for my bad english...

3 stk600's is what you need for that setup.
