Wondering who is using Solis-tek ballasts and what bulbs they are running? I purchased a solis-tek 600 and wasnt sure if I should just run a Hps Solis-tek Bulb for bloom or Eye Hortilux, Digilux??? Any one running these ballasts with any of these brands of bulb? Appreciate any input -thanks

Fuck their lamps , have run them and won't again.
They're nothing but custom spec lamps made by sunpulse.
I run hortilux hps with solis tek matrix ballasts without a problem.
The only time I've heard of someone having a problem was when running a different brand lamp with their splitter and ballast. I wouldn't run one of their splitters anyway.

Ok so the hortilux hps light matches up good with solis tek? I've been reading to be careful with certain bulbs as they are not compatible with the high frequency of these ballasts. Any experience with digilux?

yes I think I've also ran digilux with the same ballast.
I stick with hortilux though actually.
A few years back I think there may have been a problem or two but nowadays it says right on the box "e-ballast compatible". But even before that I had no problem running them with a digital ballast.

ok thanks for the input I will go with hortilux for HPS. How about for veg? I like running MH. What MH bulbs should I look at getting to run with the Solis-Tek? It says right on the packaging not to use any probe start MH bulbs.

depending on the model u picked ..........they will run any bulb of the matching watts digi/hori/even the off brands like ipower and apollo

the only thing i must say is the solis tek bulbs do have a higher lumen output then others ............i own the matrix ballast the 1000w hps they offer is 150k were the other brands are 110k
