And there is the cob salesman! I knew it was only a matter of time until you had to say it.
The ballasts are out of production because they don't have any bulbs made to match with.
This is Club 315. The university of Utah has proven this bulb to have the best horticultural spectrum.
you are a goof.
Hmmmm, I recommended LED lighting because of its superior performance. Plenty of data out there to back that up. For the record, I'm not selling any lighting, COB or otherwise. You know this, you've accused me of it before.
Those ballasts are out of production because they were more expensive to manufacture than high frequency digital square wave ballasts and the makers failed to do an effective job of explaining their advantages. If you had any knowledge of electronics you'd know this.
FAIL on the 'no bulbs to match with'. The Hortilux Platinum ballast came with a Hortilux 1000W HPS lamp included as an incentive to buy the more expensive ballast. Dipshit.
The University of Utah may have evaluated the lamp against other HID lamps and if they found it superior I wouldn't argue with their findings. That said, there's no way it's the best light of all, bar none. Your arguments are simplistic, full of holes, unsupported and generally chickenshit.
You are an uneducated halfwit without basic knowledge about the technology.
