Which ballast and wot manufactor?
Hi- Opinions on digital ballasts and the usual coil style please, would like to know if there are good savings to be made with digital as apposed to coiled? Do the digi's last longer? Do they screw more outta the light bulb too? Do they cost less to run?
Anything I should know in order to help me weigh up if its worth buying a digital ballast.
Also, which manufacter in your opinion supplies the best ballast?

lumatek and another are top dawg
im using a knockoff with no problems
they actually use less power than traditional magnetic ballast
can use both mh and hps bulbs, not conversion bulbs
about half the size of traditional magnetic ballast
they are worth it in my eyes

Yep Lumatek for me as well, they also have a switch on them so you can get 20% more out of them during your flower cycle for a little bit extra power useage.
They also start up quicker and are ment to make your globes last longer and use less power, all good.
They are also silent which is the main reason I got one.....yippee no more buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing
