Ipower ballast

[Speedygreen]

Anyone using an ipower? I just got one (400w) and haven't been able to use it other than to test out the bulbs since it won't fit in my current grow space. I've heard mixed reviews . only thing I noticed is that there is slight interference with an old tube TV I have. any help would be great

I have the 1k version. It has 50/75/100 selections and is working fine for me. It's my first grow grow light though.

This is my 1st digital ballast. Sure beats the old magnetic 150w

I'm interested in getting this as well

Speedygreen ditto what SouthSD said. including my break in period i got about prolly 30-40 hours on it so far....very happy so far. search forum for break in ballast for don'tknownuttin's comments on how to break in a ballast....can't remember them well enough or else i'd just tell you........don't want to give you bad info because my memory sucks! lol

I have an ipower 400 watt, have been using it in my current grow, about a month and a half into it. I'm happy with it so far.

[Speedygreen]

That's good to hear

[furrysparkle]

This is good to hear because of all the setups on amazon the i power is the cheapest and most complete so I have been reserved about it

I bought my 400w ipower as a compleye kit also, the only part that is cheaply made is the wing reflector
It's pretty flimsy but it serves the purpose. Overall I'm happy and will buy ipower again.

[furrysparkle]

The one I'm looking at uses an actual hood so it should be pretty sturdy Joker

Mine is a off name called Solis Tek so far it works ok I guess.

all grow room equipment can become dangerous if not handled properly and electics must be same because so much power goes in to a grow just wanted to say this some ppl just dont realise. thats also a key point to keeping your grow room clean n white less dust that way to build up on ya shit and cause extra issues for ya

It's my first grow also and I'm using the 400w with dimming ipower kit. I had to get the tube to air cool the lamp because I have a smaller tent. I'm getting nuggets now so it ok in my limited opinion.
