smoking and usage

Hi all,

Just looking for some info on which to choose. I found some 400w lowbays here but i see everywhere the suggestion of ballasts, which is what my local dealer retails. Any personal opinions on which to pick or advantages / disadvantages. I heard that a certain type of lighting had inbuilt saftey which turned lights on and off over 5minute periods, anyone know which type or if its 1 of these so I can avoid? Im looking to get 2x 400w for an efficient lightspread using HPS & MH, but ive heard of the advantages of Envirolites as a complete alternative to ballasts / lowbays. Anyone got any opinions?

Peace
