Will this work well with the Solis Tek 600 Watt Digital Ballast?

I have used this hood for more than one digital/electronic ballast, works great with my 600w Quantum and cheap Chinese digital 600w

I have had this paired with a Phantom 600w dimmable digital ballast for almost a year and this is my favorite hood. So much so that I plan to buy a few more next year when I increase my grow space. I don't see anything on the Solis Tek's specs that wouldn't make this a great hood for you.

Absolutely, I use the Solis Tek 1000 and I am more than pleased with the fixture. You should keep in mind that this fixture will cast a somewhat smaller light pattern but it makes up for it in intensity. I used a light meter to measure the lumen output and it is up there with the best fixtures at twice the price.

Yes, Thane G. The LumenMax 5K Mogul Socket will work any ballast. As long as the socket outlet are compatible.

No, it will actually decrease the life span of the bulb. When the bulb is not used at the recommended wattage, ot also does not put out the full spectrum that the bulb is rated at. If you intend to only run the bulb at 50%, i would recommend just using a 400 watt bulb with your 600 watt ballast.

It will work. Just will not be the color you were anticipating. Side note..I changed to another system my ballasts kept blowing out.

This unit is only rated for 100 watts and I doubt that your metal halide bulb plus its ballast is less than 100. I wouldn't attempt it.

Yes, it will , I have used these harnesses for both 35 & 55w ballasts and thay work fine.

I agree with Kimm. When looking at ballasts input voltage (110/207), quantity of bulbs (1,2,4) in fixture along with bulb wattage/type should equal success in ballast selection. Our key concern is always compatibility to the other 100 fixtures so we stock one bulb type and one ballast type.

Yes, you can use this bulb in any digital ballast of 600 watts as far as I know. I use different brand bulbs in digital dimmable ballast.

No it will not. The sockets are too small, the entire fixture is not wide enough to handle the additional size, the ballast is the wrong type as well.

A. Yes, it did work with my metal halide ballast. B. The type of mount you use is up to you, either should work. C. They do have a warranty. http://www.eyehortilux.com/warranty/

U don't need ballast on this one. But it gets hot.... Look for slave flash and its almost the same but u need a slave transmitter/receiver

Doesn't work that way buddy. You should do some research before you burn your place down. Don't try to use a lower than recommended wattage bulb because the power flow will not be consistent on this unit. Even if you reduce the ballast output of say, a 1000 watt ballast to 50%, you still shouldn't use a 600 watt bulb there. It will fire up, but your bulb could eventually explode. Just because it doesn't happen immediately doesn't mean it wont happen eventually. You could use a higher watt bulb with a lower power ballast in a pinch, but it is a waste of money and resources.

There is no way to know that unless you post the model number of the kit you have. I am tempted to say yes, but if you have a different kit which incorporates the mode control into the ballast unit, these won't work. These are stand-alone power regulators, not mode control modulators. Some kits put the ballast and the mode control in one unit, so really you need to post your kit number and your bulb model number as well as the year, make, and model of the vehicle. The more info you give, the likelihood of a correct, informed response increases greatly!

Yes it can if you are replacing the same length and T8 connector, but you need to pull the old ballast and just send the AC to one end of the LED lamp. It is very simple with the supplied instructions. If you have live plants you will need to research the K value (temperature) for the plants you are growing!

I believe you can. It uses a common Mogul socket which should work with a higher wattage bulb and since the ballast is built in to the bulb, this would not be an issue. If you are still in doubt, I would ask a electrician but I don't foresee any problems.

You'd have to check the ratings on the ballast but as long as it's 240 Volts and below 16 amps it should be fine.

im using mine on a digital 600w seems to be working fine but i just got it so we will see if it lasts the grow like this but the light is much better than the GE 600w for your dollar its great IMO
