Not really even the same fixture..Solistek are 1000w digi ballast that could run a AC/DE style double ended bulb fixture as a remote mount ballast setup and the new Nanolux DE are closer to a Gavita or Epap with an integral ballast, bulb, and hood all in one, way easier to mount and manage plus they are rated up to 1250w...I am just about to start playing with the remote RF controllers for the Nanolux so I can tell you right now exactly how they are going to work but have seen them in action and they are tits...auto dimmers, sunrise/sunset archs, high heat shutoffs, etc...should be killer
The solistes are nice although we did buy a "bad batch" of them from solis right after they changed manufacturers.
Out of 18 we had 4 just up and burn out. They shorted out in a loud pop and spark thing. Actually pretty fucking scary.
I will say that their customer service has been second to NONE. They next day aired replacement ballasts and threw in three new 1k bulbs for the trouble.
Texas kid and billy boat, what bulbs are you running in your solis teks?
I'm running the solis tek 6000k at week 6 , and although I was skeptical of switching to their bulb because it is a metal halide bulb, my plants do seem to love it. What bulb would you pair with the solis tek 1000w matrix for a warehouse ( and for a small grow)?The built in timer , the remote control, and the way they turn themselves on and off in succession is awesome!
where are you located? There nw sales rep was hitting shops in my area....I have his card...pm me if you want his numberThanks for the info Jimmy! One thing is suspect however is that they don't even have a single telephone number on their website..WTF kind of company is that?
I emailed them 5 days ago saying we wanted to purchase 40 ballasts and have not heard a peep from them.
And lastly...why is there always that guy that says "flip boxes are too expensive blah blah blah"
30 ballasts will cost us $5800. flip boxs for 30 ballasts which will double our flower wattage is $2500. Plus, and this is especially true of larger scale grows, you simply don't have time to build all this custom stuff.
Saving $500 on a $80k build out is just kind of silly.
Not to mention ALL work on commercial buildings needs to be done by licensed contractors. All of it.
