The PurGro 1k4 ballast
http://www.purgro.com/ballast.html
Has anyone seen this? Im buying a whole new batch of ballasts and damn does this thing look like a dream
Grobot looks fun. Been looking for a plug-and-play gig that would let me monitor shit from elsewheres.
That looks nice, and cheaper than growtronix. Heck a CO2 controller with Fuzzy Logic is over 400 bucks alone. Good find!Thanks alot guys, I'm just gonna stick to my old ways then, because if that thing did fail I'd be hurting.
And If you're looking for a controller with alerts and all that check this bitch out, just seen her and I want!

Yeah feel free to send me a message and I can send you over any info that you need on the ballast.do u work 4 them?
Glad you like the 1K4! I designed it. :) If a channel goes down, you can open the thing up and swap out that board. Unlike most ballasts, this one is built to be FIELD REPAIRABLE. We even have a field repair kit available. Swap the board, send it to us. If it's in date code, we send you another one and you're field repair kit is stocked back up. The heat sinking is very unusual for ballasts, more what you typically see in high end audio. The MOSFETs are on the bottom of the board and bolted _through_ to the heatsink. Runs much cooler than you'd expect. The idea here is that you should be able to work on them, fix them, keep them going without having to send them back the Shenzhen to have all the plastic gunk scraped off. We don't do that. We use a silicone conform coating which costs a little more, but you can at least fix the things. If you'd like to test one out, drop me a note at PurGro and we'll hook you up.
