I have been using Hortilux and just switched to Digilux for veg 2 days ago.. Worth a shot only a couple bucks more and sez that it's made for digital ballasts.. I will keep you posted.. There box reads:

Digilux Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium bulbs are favored by growers because of the wide color spectrum and efficiency. They are engineered for use in digital ballasts and feature enhanced red and orange spectrums (HPS) blue spectrums (MH), better color uniformity, longer bulb life, and less lumen depreciation. Digilux bulbs are hot start approved and can be used in both vertical and horizontal fixtures. DigiLux lamps offer superior performance compared to traditional metal halide and H.P.S. lamps. Digilux MH bulbs deliver 25% more energy in the red and orange spectrums as well as 25% more energy in the blue, violet, and green spectrums for the HPS bulbs. 1 Year Warranty.

There's some videos on youtube that compares the Hortilux and Digilux on a digital ballast, and the Digilux kicks some major butt. Atleast on digital (electronic) ballasts.

They sound good so I've drank the kool-aid double stength I run two hps 400w in one closet. About another 2 weeks till flowering. My hortilux bulbs last only 2 time around in my lumatek ballast the 3rd time I was pissed off never try 3 times again. The digilux bulb glass is a little thiner if that means anything. How many times around should they be good?
 
been testing a digilux 1000 watt MH for about a month now. So far I have really good results. for hps, I have been using sunmasters and never have had a problem.

glad i iran into this thread as i was just checking out the new ht's and saw these babies in it.. anyhoos, i have recently upgraded to a digi ballast and have been using the eye brand bulbs, and haven't had any issues.. just that i've been reading that a lot of bulbs aren't made for digital ballasts, and these digilux are.. don't see how that could be a bad thing.. think i'm going to bite the bullet and try one of the hps bulbs out..

I'm glad to hear all positives from this. Can any of you tell me how long it lasted before replacement?
