1,000,000 google searches for badass ballasts in just a couple of hours.
No hits by the way.
I'll be heading by the hydro shop monday morning and will grab a copy of the magazine. They carry then there and I will scan the page for everyone. I'll try and get info while I'm there also. Going to make sure i'm one of the first to get a unit. I've been promissed already, but will see when I'll have my unit.
Take care,

Looks very cool but be careful BG. Seems like getting the very first one of these like getting first year new model car. Almost inevitable that there will be issues that will take a few generations to fix.
Thats funny cause I know the owners of GREEN COAST HYDRO very well, and they have the biggest hydro shop in LA county, plus 3 other big stores, and he says that Quantums are the best, with very little returns compared to lumateck, and all the other junk thats out there..............GMI got a quantum and wish i had gotten another lumatek. Found the quantum to be flaky on 240v, only working in certain plugs or having to jiggle the plug to get it to run. Got it working now but also have another lumatek on order, will replace the quantum and keep it as back up. IMO the Lumateks have been around the longest and have been constantly improving with each new generation. Also heard nothing bad about nex/gen

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
Growmaster: I don't know any owners of hydro shops, i dont get huge discounts, or free goods. I am not best friends with anyone famous. I am just a simple guy with two ballasts. In my own personal experience my 600w Lumatek ballast has been running without any problems for more than a year. My new quantum when i plugged it in, did nothing.
I do have the quantum working now, and i just contacted the company and they were very nice and are going to send me a new cord to see if that helps.
Just curious how many Lumatek ballasts you have had and how many quantum? Want to make sure you are not calling something junk that you dont have personal experience with.
Toyota is a huge company that does tons of testing and has built a lot of cars, but they still have issues when new models come out. Hopefully these will be the best ballasts ever, that would be great, i just wouldnt want to buy the first gen.
