hey guys. so my friend to thee hydro store with his mindset on gettin a galaxy 400 wt digital ballast. he gets there , and the owner of the store practicly shoves a global greenhouse one down his throat insisting that they ave the best warranty. my friend however is more concerned with performance and thinks he made a mistake by taking the global greenhouse one, only because he has heard so much good about galaxy. he needs help.

i don't know much about either brand but i'd look for a digi ballast thats has lots of options like a cooling fan and a good warnty. i run quantum ballasts they have 2 cooling fans are dimmable and burn hps/mh and can run at 240/120.

Yep, digis all the way, my Quantums put out 10% more light than my analog ballasts, I measured em. They also come with both 120V and 240V cords, and like Muddy said, they're dimmable. Just use Ushio bulbs in them, never Hortliux!

I love these stories, guy goes to the grow store, guy at grow store tells him he has the answer to his problems..

classic, they fall for it every time
 
Used both. Many @ the same time had some galaxys die. Never had a global fail. fucking pricey but pimp. Dude probably makes more on each sale with the global.

I have global greenhouse 600 with a sunmaster super hps bulb. Have had for 8 months no problems. My lamp gets turned on and off twice as much cause I have to turn it off everyday to handwater. My friend who works at the store said they stopped keeping galaxy and lumatek in stock cause of high return rate.
