So hydrofarm has their new digital ballast and it seems like they may have made a few improvements. Digital ballasts emitting excess RF noise is a concern for me. Hydrofarm states their ballast has "internal RF protection". I'm not sure any other digital ballast company makes that claim. I'm wondering if anyone has had the chance to test out one of these ballast or perhaps could expand on hydrofarms claims of RF protection or any other facets of this ballast.
