What is more important, expensive ballast or expensive lamp?

  1. Plz leave comment and let me know what you think. I have a cheap thunder 600 watt digital ballast and a pair of sabre mh and hps lights. I was looking to get some lumatek or eye hortilux bulbs but would I see a difference if I am still using my cheap ballast?

     
  2. Bulb matters more than Ballast

    But if a ballast goes down, it wouldn't matter what bulb you use. And you can't go wrong using a good bulb. The eye Hotilux is what is on the other end of these...

  4. a good e-ballast will do wonders for you, they run at higher frequencies and give a more stable light with less problems and extended bulb life. 
     solis tek or lumitek ballasts are nice and well made. bulbs are just bulbs which need replacing every year, get a good ballast and some soli tek, sun pulse or lumatek bulbs, you will be good to go.
