VIVOSUN 600 WATT DIGITAL BALLAST

Hey all..hope someone can give me some super fast input as this is time sensative issue as I nees to have a new light ordered STAT!! I am looking to buy the Vivosun 600 watt digital ballast. But dont know if I should buy the regular one with normal reflector OR should I buy the air cooled one? Is it worth the extra $40? Also, can I use and bulb with the vivosun line or does it have to be their brand of bulbs? Plz someone I need some quick feedback!!!

Air cooled , I love my vivosun

Well worth the 40 to help with keeping temps and environment under control.

Air cooled, any bulb with the proper base will fit

Air cooled every time.

Depending on the model, be careful... the air cooled hoods with high iron glass block UV and a % of light.

Exactly what I was thinking. Is it really worth it? Especially in order to use the air cooled properly it need to be vented correctly.

I have the 600 watt Vivosun with air cooled hood setup. I haven't any problems. It's a great deal for the price. You can use any brand of bulbs but you might as well use the Vivosun brand. They cost much less than other brands and are just as good. But spend the money for the air cooled hood if you're growing in a tent.
