Longest-lived light/ballast you have owned

[YYZ Skinhead]

In 1998 I got my first 430w Hydrofarm unit which has only been repaired one time and still works as well as ever. Not bad for what is at least a fifteen-year-old unit (I dunno when it was built).

Lot of electronic ballast lovers here I guess. :giggle:

I have two 1000 watt halide ballasts, one 1000 watt HPS, and a 400 halide which are each an easy 25 years old. All Hydrofarm, bought them new. They still work great and I use them as backups and add-ons. Lost count of how many bulbs have been through them over the years.

Wow. :shocked: 25 years ago I was reading High Times and thinking "boy those grow lights are pricey". Mine have paid for themselves a gazillion times in grass that I needed not buy.

I ilke it for its heavy body stone, big ol' buds and fruity pipe-tobacco smell/taste. Click on the Nirvana banner and look it up under feminised seeds. I recommend it for people who have grown previously (though probably not for beginners).
