Ok guys first off I'm an old indoor grower that's had a lot of hps/mh ballast in my grows. I even had one of the first electronic Galaxy ballasts. And every time the ballast came on I'd lose internet signal.
Here's the question. I've not ran indoors in nearly 10yrs. I lost all my old indoor stuff in a storage locker. Now I'm wanting to get me a HID light for my basement. Really something cheap preferably a setup likes on amazon....everything included. But I'm wondering if these electronic ballast still interfere with internet/wifi.....I have kids and everybody knows they flip out if internet goes out. But I know there a lot of cheap electronic ballast setups available and just looking for FACTS from SOMEBODY with first hand info about electronic ballast. I'm sorry I'm not wanting to know what your friends buddy said.....if you don't have a electronic ballast and internet of your own I'm not interested in your opinion. Just wanting facts, because the old galaxy I had 8-10yrs ago knocked my internet the sec it came on. I know the magnetic ballast are a lil more expensive and always loved them so if that's kinda what I'm wanting to do. I'm not trying to start a electronic vs magnetic ballast war....but gotta make sure the internet isn't interrupted. I've not seen anything about the newer electronic ballast and the internet issue. I'm more so looking at cheaper electronic ballast....if I'm gonna have to but a expensive new galaxy I'd just go with a magnetic ballast.
Also I always used sunlight supply stuff back when I ran my grow rooms. If I'm gonna buy a magnetic ballast what's some of the better ones guys are using nowadays ????
Again guys I'm looking for HID lighting I'm not wanting LED or CFL. I'm needing the heat from a HID in my basement to keep it a lil warmer this winter. I know LED might be better but it's not on the table I'm only interest in HPS/MH. I used sunlight supply stuff almost 20 yrs magnetic and the lone 600 galaxy I had. But any electronic ballast that's not gonna kill the internet....not costing a lot. I'm looking for info. And what's guys using magnetic wise.....sunlight supply still the best??? What other magnetic ballast brands are you guys using now a days???
Thanks guys, if the electronic cheaper ballast still interfere with internet that fine. I'm good with a old magnetic style ballast.
Please only guys with 1st hand facts about electronic ballast internet problems. I'm open to opinions about magnetic brands and stuff.
Not looking to start a electronic vs led vs hid kinda arguement.
