KAWGOMOO IS A FRAUD, WELTHINK STORE SUPPLIER ON EBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OFCOURSE THEY DEFEND THE PRODUCT, THEY SELL IT LMAO. NO AFFILIATION, ONLY AN END USER RIGHT KOWGOMOO? SWITCHED A LETTER AND CAME ON HERE AND LIED, SAD INDEED. ANYONE NEED ANY HELP ON WELTHINKS LET ME KNOW, MAYBE SONNYS NUMBER? I CAN HELP
Sorry it took me so long to reply to this, and kick a dead horse at that.
Kawgomoo is not Sonny. And yes, Kawgomoo IS an ebay seller name {mine} and yes i sell welthink ballast.
Switched a letter and came on here? Are you retarded? They are spelled the same both here and ebay, and ive been registered here since 2006 and much longer than that on ebay. Get your facts straight fruit cake.
But i dont HAVE to sell them, i choose to. I like them, they work good and Sonny has always treated me right and helped me out.
If a ballast died, he honored the warranty. No questions asked.
He has even offered to pay/repay the return shipping to my customers for his products that fail.
I would like to say failures i feel are pretty low, we sell ballast every day. But we get returns about twice a month. These returns are 1 maybe 2 ballast tops at a time.
We are on the 6th generation of 1kw ballast now. Welthink is no exception. The road to a stable 1kw digital ballast was fraught with frustration.
Right now i would like to put it out there that Ushio is the bulb i recomend for pain free digital ballast ownership.
Anyways most the claims in the thread are just down right wrong, untrue and at best stupid.
Call the police? Really? Nobody cares what you do with these lights. People from all walks buy/use/own welthink lighting. From commercial growers of fruits and veggies or wild flowers to your farm clubs, high school and college horticulture programs right on down the line to your Caregivers and closet growers.
Dont get it twisted. These are just my opinions. I cannot speak for Welthink, i dont own or have stake in there company. I just sell there stuff, and i believe in it. Does that really make me a fake liar or fraud?
One last point. For anyone that thinks Sonny and i are the same person, i invite you to talk to the man for 5 seconds on the phone. It will then surely be clear who is who in all of this.
{His Phone number is clearly listed on there website which is printed on the bottom of the ballast, and on the box, and on the literature provided with the ballast}
p.s. Thanks, my profile picture is from the day my son was born. Cutie eh?
ppss!! Just wanted to add that most users that have issues with these lights, successfully resolve the issue by going back through there install. Many of the issue's that pop up is really lack of service to the ballast's. A 400w hps operates at about 70 volts, as where a 1000w runs at over 200. The 1kw ballast is doing alot more work than a smaller ballast that is just down regulating voltage and current. If your input voltage for a 1kw light is 110v service, you better have sufficient amperage available. Both in breaker and wiring size. Single 15 or 20a breaker with 12g wiring PER BALLAST is ideal for these monsters. Run 220/240v if you plan to gang em together! Avoid cheap timers! user intermatic water heater timers {they are purely mechanical} or cut the power cord to the ballast, install a 30a 110v relay into the BLACK wire, hook an extension cord to the COIL of the relay and fire that sucker off whatever cheap ass timer you want, as the load will be on the relay not the timer.
