Nextgen makes the best ballasts in my opinion...it is the only one that is rated to run a 65 foot light cord :jointsmile:

i do know they make a 400/600 watt model...not sure about the 1000's if they make a switchable wattage model but the fact they can run 65' lamp cord tells me they are putting the juice to your bulb better than others if they can't spec a longer cord than 15' :thumbsup:
stra8outtaWeed Reviewed by stra8outtaWeed on . Galaxy Digital Ballast feedback??? Looking at investing in the multi wattage digital ballasts. So far, I think the Galaxy 1000, HPS/MH, 400-600-1000 watt settings, can run bulbs at full power or reduced power (does that make bulb last longer?), and supposedly less heat. Not sure which puts out how much, but 1000 watt bulb puts out a lot of heat. Anyway I like the ability to use at any wattage and to use either HPS or MH. With some of my experimenting I need more flexibility. So, since it is a $400 investment, is it Rating: 5
