Anyone using one of these? I know everyone in Colorado is using them wanted to get your opinion. I wanna add 15,000 k watt what the best panel?

I own the 6 120 conversion one and absolutely love it. Its american made plug &play and UL listed. I personally wouldn't hesitate spending the money again.

Try and find a local electrician to build you a custom loadcenter. If you use 120V ballast, use tandem 15A/120V breaker and add 8 duplex receptacles. Cut the jumper in bewteen the two copper screws for the hot. You'll have two hots and one neutral, use 12awg, upsize the wire. If running 240V ballasts, use only two ballasts per 240V 2pole breaker. You can use a tandem common trip breaker. Having seperate breakers is more NEC and CEC compliant. An electrician can add some options if you need high temp shutoff, hotstart delay, time delay on/off (variable or programmed. You'll need a 100A 2 pole breaker in the main panel. If you can get a 125A or 150A breaker, add a few more 120V receptacles and a 240V in case you have some 240V equipment.

Many ways to have your loadcenter/controller built, if you want OTS, I hate to say it, but Powerbox is your best bet.

I would build my own Thats just me though. Not difficult to do....

how exactly do the power boxes work?? I also noticed they have a flip box which i believe allows your to run 2 lights off a single ballast

Here's the plans to build one for 4 1000 watt lamps. If you use a 40 amp relay instead of 30 and you run 8/2 instead of 10/3 dryer cord you can run 7 lights...so just build 2 and you got 14k covered...

hope this helps

just order from this guy here, high quality. I have a flip box from him and a powerbox. Fast easy no grumbling, better quality than at the grow store.
