bad ass deal. but becareful for chinese made crap digi ballasts. Some make a ton of line noise. One homie almost got snapped off but the cable company warned him that something in his home was creating digital noise on his lines, was the digital ballast. Anyway... goo for it, but you won't be getting your money back from ebay if something goes wrong

I had a bad experience with a Digital Greenhouse ballast a couple of years ago. A brownout caused the bulb to arc, and if I didn't turn it off, I'm pretty sure it would have burned through the outer glass of the bulb, and from there who knows. I would stick to brand names like Lumatek, Hydrofarm, Galaxy, or Sunlight.

$140 for the 600 watt ballast isn't that great of a deal. Here's a couple of links to some REAL ballasts:

If going with the Phantom, DO NOT use Digilux Bulbs, they are not compatible with Phantom's.

Shop around, you may find cheaper somewhere else.

Actually I run 2 of these and they are great lights. They come with a 5 year warranty which is the best in the biz and as far as getting your money back Ebay is great about recouping money but fortunately the are sold by HTG Supply which has the best customer service out there. Not sure why you felt you needed to give such a negative answer but you should at least get your facts correct before posting a bunch of garbage.
