5 posts and ALL of them say the same thing. Let me guess.... you work for this company that is selling a Philips CMH bulb as something new and original.Hey check out lastolights.com. The education I got from their website is what made me try 2. I got 18 more. Legit shit.
Sorry to hear about your health issues. I hope you recover quickly!Also, FYI, I was hospitalized Thursday with Deep Vein Thrombosis in my left calf and with a Pulmonary Embolism in both of my lungs. :dead:
So I've got lots of time to not harvest and annoy this thread ;)
Here's some pics from a couple of different rooms. One is supposed to be harvested now, the other is the tent on 13/11.View attachment 451418 View attachment 451419

Here we go again, Basement Bob is telling lies and misleading people for his own gain. Bob has never used any of Grobal Distributors products. If he had he would know that our ballasts are a LOW FREQUENCY, SQUARE WAVE BALLAST. That is why the On-PAR 315 CMH comes with a 5' reflector cord.
He is correct that Summit uses a high frequecy ballast. He also hasn't used there ballast, just check his other posts were he admits that Summit wanted too much $ so he didn't buy them. He has only used the DNA ballast with Irradiator hoods and the LEC.
The truth is that he is getting a kickback from grow stores for sending them customers. Just see the quote below.
Grobal Distributors provides a complete plug and play package called the On-PAR 315 CMH based around the 315 watt Agro bulb by Philips. It combines the efficency of the Agro bulb with our proprietary reflector design and digital ballast technology. All of our products are UL or ETL certified for saftey.

What you see as fllickering on that cheap ballast is just different frequency that it runs on. In both cases you can see darker stripes running through your screen. The expensive ballast just runs at different frequency which is pretty much synchronized better with your cammera as the cheaper one. Are you seeing this with your naked eye? Does it have dimming ability? Does it run on full power? The extension cord shouldn't have much ro do with the flickering unless there's so much voltage drop on that cord that the ballast is not seeing enough voltage. But in that case your extension cord would be pretty darn warm too.
Then it's just the weird frequency. If it's operating on high frequency then you'll get way shorter lifecycle with your bulb.
I don't get it...are Phillips ballasts not electronic? Both ballasts are low frequency pushing the same current I literally see no difference between hundreds of unitsyes, i am aware.
do you not see how the electric ballast never even pushes the bulb to the same brightness and the phillips ballast?
theres no denying that the phillips ballast works better with the bulb they created
