I'm looking into purchasing an HID light finally, I got back my tax return, and growing supplies are where it's going, thanks uncle sam for getting my money back to me! I want to get a 250W HPS, I would like to go 400, but think I may be limited by heat generated by 400 watts. If 250 means I can only grow 2 plants, so be it. I'm looking at digital ballasts, as they're more attractive with near-zero noise, and purportedly a 30% savings in power (or so one manufacturer claimed) Anybody that has experience with digital ballasts versus magnetic ones please let me know if it's worth the extra $. One that I was looking at is from HID Hut, a 250 HPS digi ballast for 90 bucks, which means I'd still need a reflector, socket, and bulb? Any thoughts, comments, opinions are appreciated.
