Well that was a issue that the Lumitec ballast. Not all of digital had that issue, and right now one of the best ballast on the market is Quantum Series Lighting ballast. I have not personally used one, but from what I gather on other sites & my hydro shop is it is awesome. It has a power dimmer switch to run at 50% 75% 100% power. Is to increase power for smaller plants IMO the 100W would be the best as at half power you are at 500w and at 75% your at 750w thats more than a 600 put out.:thumbsup: And the company says it has improved it to run 15% cooler than any other digital on the market. "We have designed our ballast with a resin cased circuit board that has been placed in conjunction with a sealed bearing fan" And keeping your ballast cool is a major factor of life. But I only seen them with a 3year hassle free warranty.

The only thing that is keeping me from getting one of theses right now is the price for the 1000w is like $270-$330. And its hard time so I am just using my trusty Magnetic. If I was to get a magnetic ballast tho, I would just order the replacement ballast kit and built my own as it is cheaper.
