Light Controller

[MysteryMachine]

I have am getting ready to build at my new spot, I am looking at the C.A.P. MLC4X to power my lights. Anyone have experience using this product?

Also I have some Sun System SS1 for ballast, They are set up for 110v, will they need to be changed to 220v for this controller?

Lastly, is there another better option out there?

Thanks

C.A.P. products are all on the flimsy side....check out Power Boxes lighting control offerings...they are solid. DLB

Very diplomatic way of putting it. I think C.A.P. products are junk - no UL or CSA approvals, totally ignore the nec and nema standards.

So C.A.P. Is a no go. I will have a look at the Boxes lighting control, Any other suggestions?
Does anybody use the Sentinel HPH-8 High Power HID Controller?

Thanks for all the feedback.

Thanks for the reply, I took a look at those and think I may go with their DPC-7500-120V.

So I went ahead and purchased the Power Boxes lighting control DPC-7500-120V. I called them directly and they were very nice and helpful. The shipping was really fast, it was here the day after I ordered it.

Next on my list is the Sentinel CHH-4, or are there better options out there?

Im so excited to get a grow going again, Its been to long.

Looking forward to sharing, and gaining knowledge from this community.

Thanks for the help.
