Need help with deciding light fixture

I'm having a horrible time trying to figure out what light ballast and fixture to use.
I've been looking at iPower ones and they seem nice, however, the Virtual Sun VSD1000WDS seems like the best one.

All I'm asking is which brand do you use and has it kept up to you standards.
I'm investing a lot into this and can't afford to be screwed over by some chinese bs
So lmk

Gavita 1000 de

u want a Solis tek matrix light

this will allow u to run all types of lights ......built in timer smart fire check .......just a great fucking ballast

To be frank. Lumateks are a great mid to high range ballast. Very well built. As for lights im deciding that for myself, im looking at Adjust-A-Wings. I hear great things.

You should be getting off of Lumatek. I used to use all Lumatek ballast. If your in the 805 area code you can work out a great deal if you want them. Lumatek is down the tubes so your warranty is worthless. Now the big boy is SolisTek. They are of course still in business but the great thing is you can use them with MH and HPS like other ballasts do but you can also use them for the new DE fixtures as well. I like the DE and my new lights are Gavita. I do like mixing Gavita with HPS in the flower room and Gavita and MH in the veg. The mix seems to give me a little more growth than using all Gavita. Only a little better but every little bit counts.

I have a Solis-tek ballast, have heard nothing but good things, except the rf interference and that has been addressed and fixed.
Gativa would also be a great option.
I have a Radiant 6 hood, I will be going with a Double Ended light or LED for my next though.

Gavita gavita gavita....8 or 9 foor ceilings or more get the 1000 de. 6 or 7 foot get the 6/750 flex. I cannot stress how much of a game changer these lamps have been for my setups.
