If I was about to lay out money for a new ballast...it'd be an electronic type...the difference in price is marginal (comes back to you via you power bill)...that and, an electronic ballast is just...better.
slowthestone Reviewed by slowthestone on . Ballast question Hi all I got a 400W MH lamp with a ballast. Also have a 600W HPS for flowering, also with a ballast. Problem is, I'm vegging with the 400W but the weather is just too hot. I can manage temps with difficulty. If the weather doesnt change soon, I will have major problems with flowering once I switch to 600HPS. What I want to do is to get a 400W HPS bulb for flowering, I'll use the 600W exclusively in winter. Question is, can a 400W HPS bulb be safely connected to the ballast of a 400W Rating: 5
