Best 600 W

So i originally was going with

• Digital Greenhouse Ultimate 600 watt HPS & MH Grow Light
  EasyCool 6 Reflector + $48.00
  GrowBright 600 watt HPS Bulb + $10.00
  GrowBright 600w MH Conversion Lamp
  No Spare HPS Bulb
  No Spare MH Conversion Bulb
  No Timer
  Sunrise Hi-Low Reflector Hangers + $9.95
  110 volt power cord
  Standard Warranty

But for some weird reason HTG has taken the option to customize the Digital Green House 600 W and it couldnt have happened at a worse time when im ready to put in my order. Ive heard people say the Digital Green house is an untrusty ballast and now that the option to customize is gone i decided to go with this option from BGHydro.com

Super Sun 2 600w HPS with Lumatek Digital Ballast 120/240vand yoyo hanging for 365.95 The one i was originally going with was 319 Is this a good switch??? I am still ordering my Diamond Foil, Pump,Nutes,Ventilation,and 2 Grow Bright 600w bulbs from HTG All input is greatly appreciated thanks.

Nobody has any comments on going with a Lumetek instead of a Digital Green House????

You will not be disappointed with your alternate but more expensive selection. I have not heard of the bulbs you mentioned Growbright. Just make sure the bulbs you get are of high quality and the proper spectrum. there are alot of companies selling bulbs as grow lamps when they are only suited to be streetlights. I personally like Hortilux bulbs. Although pricey you don't want to skimp here. After all we are trying to re-create the sun's light. Also a good choice on the 600 as you will be able to place the light closer to the canopy utilizing more of the valuable lumens. Good luck and get growing.

Thanks for the info. Thats also what i was worried about but ive read a few test threads that say they have seen no difference in Hortilux or Grow Bright 600 Bulbs. I was thinking of just going with Hortilux but its just so expensive and my local grow stores dont help on the bulb price

Anyway heres the specs of the bulb

GrowBright 600 watt High Pressure Sodium Bulb
This is not your ordinary 600 watt High Pressure Sodium bulb. This is a specialty GROWBRIGHT 600 watt High Output Horticultural HPS bulb made specifically for growing plants. Manufactured by GrowBright this bulb is head and shoulders above all other 600w HPS bulbs on the market today.

95,000 lumens !!!

30% additional "BLUE" spectrum combined with high "RED" spectrum creates the correct balance for MAXIMUM PLANT GROWTH.

Higher Lumen output for HIGHER YIELDS.

24,000 hour expected life span (one year is 8,760 hours)

ONE YEAR WARRANTY on bulb

boy they make that grow bright sound good 95,000 lum wow!49.95 wow!

I've got a growbright bulb in right now and for the $$, I'm very impressed with the brightness and growth rate. It's noticably brighter than the Plantmax bulb I paid $10 more for.

I keep finding Better and Better deals has anybody heard of www.Bestgrowlight.com ?? They were a link from here so im guessing they are a good trust able company. With them i dont have to get a bulb.
Choose A Reflector: Super Sun 2 - 6" Air-Cooled Choose A Bulb: Other Additional Power Cord Options: 120 Volt - Smart Volt Cord - 6 ft INCLUDED Weight: 32.0 lb The Ballast is a Lumetek Digital. Since im getting 2 grow bright bulbs from HTG i decided to get 2 Rope Ratchet Light Hanger - 1 Pair for my light and my carbon filter.
Also a Oakton® EcoTestr™ PH2 with all of this it would be 407 Vs what i first was getting which cost 398 and didn't have 2 light hangers and a ph tester MY MAIN QUESTION IS IS BESTGROWLIGHT A GOOD TRUST ABLE COMPANY and are the rope ratchets any good and is oak ton PH meter any good?
