I says it's UL listed and FCC compliant. That's good for a digital ballast. (not sure if UL 'listed'... is the same as UL 'rated'.. though?)

Finding compatible bulbs is the tricky part about digital ballasts.

my friend has the 600W and loves its ability to switch between 50%, 75%, and 100%

Golden- What kind of bulb he using. Or did he just purchase a set{bulb.ballast.reflector.cord.ect.}. An hows his setup everything working good for him no tech. probs. No problm with ballast/finding bulbs anything you can think of that i can't.

Just would like to take this time to say thanx, to my fellow smokers on this board that has stopped by an took time to help me get the right info. I am looking for the right set up for me before i Start my own Grow And i just value other people opinions. I am not the type of person that likes to rush into something when there might have been better way to do it. Thanx for your time and for stopping by

he bought the set. i'm not sure the type of bulb, but whatever it came with. he ordered off ebay, and the only problem he had was under-ventilating his hood. had temps in the 90s with the ballast at 100%. so until he could fix it, he ran it at 75%. imo, his 600W is a little big for his area, too, but it works for him. good luck, KBG

your choice of ballasts may be affected, if your area has frequent power outages/fluctuations ... the old-school magnetic ballasts tolerate 'bad power' better, the new electronic ballasts are more efficient, but also more 'delicate' ... at my supplier, the cheap ballasts had the same 5-year warranty as the expensive electronic ballasts, so I went cheap ... no problems ... :smokin:
