I did a search for a poll on this question, and it seems that a poll has not been conducted for this topic yet. I will be purchasing a ballast, likely 1K watts, in the near future, and I'm kinda torn which direction to go.
This poll is ONLY for those who have used both digital and magnetic, so you can have a valid user experience to report on. I am further restricting it to ONLY digital ballasts from Lumatek and Quantum, because I don't want to include any crap digital ballasts coming from fly-by-night Chinese manufacturers. If there is another company that is as respected as the other 2, let me know and I will try to start a new poll. From what I have read, Lumatek and Quantum both stand behind their products with solid warranties in case a ballast goes bad.
The same restriction is not being placed on the magnetic side because this technology has been around so long, all the bugs are pretty much worked out.
So, you've used both...what would your next ballast purchase be...digital or magnetic? I understand that the question is very general, and many idiosyncrasies can be referenced for deeper consideration, but the poll question wants to sidestep that deeper conversation and only speak to what your actual purchase would end up being.
Thanks for playing!
