1000 watt switchable and dimmable ballast ? ?? Does it exist ?

Nacho, I think your queso had gone past its freshness date.

Why what happened?

Why what happened?

You've brought Hasselhoff and the holocaust into a discussion about ballasts.

My twin brother did that. Sorry guys. Back to the topic of defoliation. Do you guys think it causes a greater yield due to greater light penetration of the canopy or...

Nice....

Even cheaper!

Look forward to getting one of these.

quepee do you run them?

I've run the non-Matrix 1kw, and the one I had is now with a friend still being run, couple years no issues. It's been used on a variety of bulbs, full-wattage and under-wattage (like running a 1kw bulb at 600w).

I had my hands on a Solis-Tek 600w 4k MH bulb recently, too, and I have to say it appears to be a well-built bulb, feels as well built as a Ushio, beefier than Hortilux.

If I get the ballast, I sure want one of their bulbs.
I like the idea of using bulbs and ballasts tuned to one another.
Nice to know they're good quality.
