dude.. i got a 400 digital galaxy ballast that runs semi-cool... also got a cool tube to go with it.. everything works good... i dont know much about products so i cant give any recomendations.. but i can say that since i switched from a 150HPS to this 400 w/MH bulb that my plants are staying shorter and the nodes are very very close together... everythigns good so far but i would like to hear some feed back on galaxy

cool cool.. ive heard alot of positive stuff about the digitals... i think im going to start a small thread about ballast and hoods... i havent seen one around here yet.. gave 100 for my cool tube and 180 for my "galaxy" digital 400MH/HPS ballast... not sure if thats a good price but it really ate my wallet

I wouldnt beleive any of it.. dea hit list and its junk.. sounds like hes prob paranoid about something or just pissed off at the company/manufacturer

If you are on the dea list for buying a ballast to grow tomatos then so are 10's of thousands of others including grandmas, environmetnalist, professors of horticulture growing... and everyone else that grows any type of food product in the house

Running an digital 600watt Lumatek currently and I couldn't be more happy. Very good design in dissipation of heat and the RF internal coating.
