I'll be damned. First I've heard of those. Going to check for some reviews...
That was one of the reasons I bought the Quantum ballasts, they come with both cords in the box. Well that and I got 1KW ballasts for $264, they put out a measured 10% more light than my analog ballasts with the same hoods/bulbs/distance.
Now I just need to get rid of my hoods and get a bunch of SS2's...
Yeah I run em over a 4X4 tray each so footprint didn't matter much, but I hate knowing I am losing 16% of my light due to hood design. Dumb thing to lose light to if it's rectifiable, right? For the record I'm upgrading from the Xtrasun 6"AC hoods, which didn't do so hot in Pico's reflector testing thread. I'll probably get the 8" ones for my new spot.
You could be right, I don't think I read every page and couldn't find a summary report. I did see that the magnums were pretty pricey, how much better than the ss2 were they?
