Well with a name like valuline...which I have not heard of and I just did a bunch of research....

I suppose it was the least expensive? Sometimes you get what you pay for with the lower valued stuff. I would not use a ballast that gets hot enough to melt plastic. Go buy a name brand ballast. Cutting corners could cost you not only your garden but your entire home.

Buy the way, heat is wasted electricity.....
WashougalWonder Reviewed by WashougalWonder on . ValuLine ballast info does anyone know anything about this brand of ballasts? I just exchanged my first one for another one (both r exactly the same) because it was getting insanely hot like burn plastic hot and now my new one seems like its doing the same. Can someone please help? Rating: 5
