As the indoor grow scene evolves and changes we must learn to grow into these changes to stay ahead of our game. One of the biggest innovations to come around, has been the invent of “Electronic” or “Digital” 600 watt and 1000 watt ballasts. These ballasts offer a more consistent output that equates into larger more consistent yields. The issue to be aware of is that these new ballasts have been known to “blow out” or “Burn out” most 600 watt and 1000 watt bulbs. The problem is that these bulbs are not designed to be used with an electronic ballast. Ushio Horticultural Grow Bulbs, are an exact remedy for this situation. Finally a company has taken on the burden of addressing this serious issue. In fact Ushio bulbs are the only known bulbs out at the moment that are perfect to use in an electronic ballast. There is nothing more annoying or hindering then going into your room to find a bulb(s) is not firing. Stop going through all this and get some Ushio bulbs today. They offer a wide range of different bulbs, all of which have performed beautifully for us in our preliminary testings.

I do a lot of installs and I recommend these when I install digital ballasts. They seem to last longer, especially MH bulbs. I see a lot of digis have issues with a lot of bulbs but these seem to be the most compatible… at least this week.
