High GC Are there any places where i can get a 600 watt switchable electric or digital ballast setup Really cheap Everywhere I looked they are in the 4-$500 range Thanks
If you're in the US/Canada a 600W Electronic ballast shouldn't cost more them $250 or less + tax. So far the best digital ballast I've see for 600W with very little problems are the Galaxy ballast from NGW/Sunlight Supply. There's also Lumatek but since the've started to make them in China their quality has drop greatly. There's also Quantum ballasts white have a dimmer but they use more power then the Galaxy or Lumatek. Plus there's tons of other manufacturers that make them.
a 600w switchable ballast at htgsupply is $180, but just the ballast http://htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=45680 kit starting at $250 http://htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=48969
Still little to high. The ballast will normally go for $250-60 CDN and the cord will be about $30 CDN, so $280 is where it should be at with the socket.
Yeah thats right, they don't. Sorry! But you could use a service like http://www.bongous.com/ I guess they let you ship to them and they'll ship to you, where ever you are. I've never used them before though. ~Experimentalist
I found this deal but....... They're out of stock right now TigerHydro Digital 600 Watt HPS Hydroponic Indoor Garden System w/ 600W HPS Grow Light, 600W Digital Ballast, Super Sun Reflector and Timer
Found one on here: 600 watt Quantum Electronic Dimmable Ballast - Barrie Home/Garden Items For Sale Unfortunately we get screwed as Canadians and pay import taxes, HST or GST depending on province. So everything costs more here. Total BS.
