was bout to pick up a ballast an wanted to know what you guys think is better..
this will be my first ballast :bigjoint:, think it time to upgrade since ive been using t5s lol..
the price is pretty much the same the only thing that is diff is the brand an that the galaxy is 400w 600w an 1000w where lumatek is 600w 750w an 1000w..

just wanted to hear some opinions/pros or cons too either of them from you guys..

Dude I can tell you with 100% certainty that Galaxy is a far superior ballast to Lumatek. Lumatek's are NOTORIOUS for blowing bulbs and failing. I'm telling you bro you are WAY better off with a Galaxy. Lumatek return rate is probably 15% or better. They are popular because they were the first ones on the market and were very well marketed. I can back up my statements with numbers but I'm too lazy. Ask your local hydro shop how many Lumatek returns they have gotten vs. Galaxy's.
