Alright, ive read this thread again and again. I just have to chime in.
I believe the "20" ballast that got fried, were modified by SUN PULSE to run there junk bulbs.
If you people believe lumatek and quantum to not be made in china, well you are just ignorant and fooling yourselves.
The truth is very few manufactures MAKE digital ballast, however many BRANDS sell them.
Internally, much of these ballast are the same. What you are buying and paying for is brand name, and of course there advertising budget.
Though i am not affiliated with welthink, i do use there products.
I have never known sonny to deny anyone a warranty. If you open a ballast and modify its internal workings, why on earth would the manufacture back up that product? its not even there product anymore.
I encourage ANYONE that believes a word of what this Mike person says to contact Sonny and make your own decision.
Everyone that reads this should email welthink, tell them you bought a ballast from wherever and it went bad.
See what Sonny's response is...i guarantee he will NOT tell you "tough luck"
PS: I own a hydro shop, I have so many returned ballasts and leds its sickening. I shared the above to let everyone know KOWGOMOO IS A FRAUD. By their own words, they have no affiliation other than being a user of the product, ummmm well ya sell a ton of it on ebay. Gotcha sucker, you have alot of nerve, but obviously not alot of brains. Why Lie? I as a store owner have had to bite the bullet and give refunds on multiple lights from Welthink. Sonny asked that in the leds we change the ignitors, never did, why you ask? Because as soon as we would of, the so called warranty would be invalid due to missuse or tamperment. Sonny new that, and I called him on it, i sent back a 300 watt led, he sent a 90 watt ufo, lets be serious. Thats the only one he ever honored as a warranty, all the others sit at my shop and rot, well actually some still have a row or 2 of lights working so at night we glow the front of our store with them, it attracts attention at night, but they are broken, multiple rows of lights out etc. The ballasts run good on average abot 6 months to a year, then all hell breaks loose. Anyway folks a class action sounds good about now. And if anyone needs any help or info, let me know. We can always call Sonny at home, I do have the number. Except the language barrier is insane. Hope that helped
AND KAWGOMOO, EVERYTHING COMES AROUND TO BITE YA IN THE ASS EVENTUALLY, YOUR TIME HAS COME. SO GO SELL THOSE WELTHINKS ON EBAY
