Master Blaster 1500?

[oldirtybastard]

Anyone use these new 1500 watt Master Blaster balast? Very interested to see if anyone has any experience/results with these.

"The Master Blaster is the most powerful ballast to hit the market, rivaled only by the sun. Only recommended to be used with large air-cooled reflectors, such as the Sun System Magnum XXXL 8", and the Raptor. This ballast only operates on a 240V power source and comes standard with a 6 foot 240V power cord. The Master Blaster Ballast and Bulb put out a whopping 206,000 initial lumens.

Resettable breaker for short circuit protection.
Lamp cord recepatcle compatible with all Sun System reflectors and sockets.
Operates both HPS & MH lamps.
Completely silent and light weight.
Efficiency at its finest -99% power factor.
Generator Ready.

We are not responsible enormously immense yields while using this ballast!"

Any farmers use this? ~ODB~

I work at a hydro shop that sells these. All the customers that have bought these have come in numerous times to replace the blown bulbs and ballast. Each time to return and return and/or replace them again. Most, if not all, have gone back to 1000's

Thanks for the heads up Mendo. I noticed it only has a 2 year warranty, kinda steers me away. ~ODB~
