About Hydrofarm - Quantum Horticulture QUANTUM-1000 MH Dimmable Digital Ballast 1000W HPS 120/240V
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
68% appreciated the compatibility
I recommend the ballast because it is better than Lumateks and has no compatibility issues with Hortilux bulbs.
68% liked the smooth dimming capabilities
The dimming feature worked well.
I have a ballast with dimming capabilities, built-in fan, and cooling fins that is efficient.
I adjust the dimmer switch according to my requirements.
65% praised the efficient heat dissipation, though 35% noticed overheating
The ballast never gets too hot and it makes the bulbs last for a while.
I have complained about the poor heat dissipation of the ballast. The cooling fans are junk and the temperature of the outside metal enclosure can get hot enough to light a kitchen match.
I am worried that the ballast might burn down the house due to the heat and dryness.
74% found it easy to install, but 26% encountered difficulties
The ballast is still going strong even after 4 years of usage.
The ballast has a metallic orange finish and a mirror-finish steel plate down the middle, making it aesthetically pleasing.
I installed a new Eye Hortilux bulb after purchasing the unit.
70% appreciated thee reliable performance, though 30% experienced issues
I have never experienced any malfunction with the ballasts, indicating their high reliability.
I would definitely purchase it again. Time will tell how durable this brand is in terms of failures.
The electrical ballasts we have are built like tanks, look good, run cooler than what they replaced, and are almost completely silent.
The ballast has an internal temperature disconnect that causes the power to drop when it reaches a certain temperature.
