Imo opinion they are the best.
The least reported failure rate.

im loving my quantums. as mentioned, the fan is a little loud. i love how you can turn down the power with these amps. hot day? turn it down 25%

I just finished a grow with a 600 watt quantum. Had fantastic results with it, on these later super hot days it was great to be able to dial down the power. It also worked well for bringing veging plants off cfl lighting. It runs pretty cool and is built solid. Its only downfall is the fan it has, it makes a wind tunnel sound as it blows thru the ballast. No concern for me but if you need 100% silent then that fan will be an issue. I really like the color and even the dimmer knob feels real solid, i think it might even be real metal knob, heh. I'd buy again for sure.

Yep it'll run both bulbs, mine came with one of the "conversion" bulbs which I believe are ment for any ballast, either way the quantum will run it.

I have put alot of time reading about digital ballast's.
The NextGen and the quantum are the best of the best.IMO

My new adjustable Quantum 600(s) run great! Bright as I can ask for and pretty quiet, after all I have read about some excessive noise.

For those running the Quantum, which bulbs your matched up with?!?

Got a 1k new & was about to fire it up with a Hortilux... some stated issues with these bulbs. Curious to get real feedback.

Peace & thank you!

the conversion bulbs are very touchy in the digital ballasts - they are designed for magnetic ballasts and dont like all the extra firing - I got a high fail rate and said fuck it and just run hps in the 600 digitals now.
