My trusty 400W HID system still works but can not cover my current grow, so I am on the market for something more powerful.
There is currently quiet a few deals on Ebay for 600W HID systems ranging from about 150 bucks to over $ 200 price mostly depending on hood configuration.
My concern is a ballast as the most expensive and important element.
I noticed following brands or names for ballasts of those ebay systems:
Thunder
IPower
Apollo
LLTI-Lumex
There might be more I missed.
I am leaning toward Apollo, mostly cause it has cooling fan.
Guarantees range from 0 , then 3, even 5 years for some of those ballasts.
Anybody experienced with those ballasts please chime in.
