Have you started using the ac/de hood yet? How are you liking it so far. Hows the light coverage on them?i am about to use the ac/de hoods with the same set up pretty much. are your table going to be end to end? so 4x16? hopefully it will work well im gonna put 3 of these over each 4x16 with tow rows in each room and some drop bulbs also. the nice thing about these is they are air cooled.
no but i bought them already. just getting the rooms framed out now and gettin the elec all worked out. hopefully within the weekend all will be wrapped up. then still gotta veg the ladies up to size so still got a while.Have you started using the ac/de hood yet?

I think all the digi ballasts might fire the DE bulb but im not sure they will run them at the proper voltage to get optimum results.Remember the philips bulb is 400v and somehow the ballast converts 240v to 400v with the gavitas and epaps(unless thats some kind of marketing bullshit,lol).I dont see how they could fire a normal bulb and fire a 400v bulb too unless they have some sort of switch like we see with 120/240 ballasts (except 240/400v) or they are designed expressly for 400v,philips manufactures the bulb and calls for 400v as far as i know so how it runs on just 240v only would be a great question for philips because i would not beleive anything the ballast manufacturers say about it,we know their end game,sell more ballasts!
Here is a blurb from philips,"This specialized bulb WORKS ONLY in 1000-WATT 400-VOLT COMMERCIAL GRADE BALLASTS"
I notice in the testing a lot of the ballasts will fire it up, I wish they would test gavita pro 1000 ballast(400v) vs. Other ballasts on ac/de hood so we could see the difference between the ballasts instead of bulbs as its already accepted that de> se bulbs as far par output. That and I wish they'd do some testing on a dimmed de bulbs par output. http://growershouse.com/blog/best-indoor-grow-light-test/as far as I know the Gavita remote ballast is the only one besides the Powerbox digital bally that can fire a DE bulb....
