Aye, spending £55.000 to kit a graft out and they can't even apportion a grand or 2 on a couple of bent ID's off the deepnet so they're not renting shit in real names.

They're bang at it round here mate, it won't touch the sides. lol
But yeah, a few less silly sods in the game makes it better for the rest of us.

I forgot about this I had to tell you lot, some inside info via the grow shop.
Remember the Maxibright ballasts that melt, like the one Don had?
Well it turns out that the company (Venture Lighting) have just rebranded the same shitty components and faulty design inside new cases.
Official recall letter sent to my shop.
Photo's I took of a unit taken to my shop by a guy who had bought it from a shop in the next town.
The guy who owns my shop has been on the phone to Venture and the suppliers having a go at them for selling a product that's clearly a death trap.
All they do on a recall is plug the unit in to make sure it works and if it does they just re-issue it.
The shops are getting subsidies for stocking these units, at least £5 more profit per unit and from what I know that's a lot.
My shop won't touch em.

Yeah that digi fan is noisy IC3 but a good ballast nontheless, it's more piercing really.
Louder than my 5" Rhuck for sure, I'm using those magnetic Lumii's I got cheap that time, they're silent.
I'll be getting digi's next time but fanless injection molded probably.
No not had chance to dig that fan out, I'll see about it by the weekend man.

Digis only really offer an efficiency and slight lifespan boost over magnetics really.
It's when you have shit designs in small plastic casings that things fuck up.
Magnetic ballasts have been lighting grows and the street lights all over the world for years safe enough.
