ballast and bulb combo make the diff your not gonna get the same lum output from every balllast. when they test these bulbs they never say what ballast they use to get the 100,000 lumes. you may get a bulb that says 140,000 but may actually put 125 or 130,000. you would have to get a meter to see what the output is between bulbs and ballast combo to see what the best is, but everyone does not have the cash to spend on ballasts to see .

Look at the bulbs in the link below, The cheap ones have the same specs as the expensive ones.... Buy cheap bulbs...

Excellent Info Thanks everyone as I check back in on the thread.

As far as digital ballasts is there say a top ten best brands list anywhere that anyone has found?

Or a hit list of the 10 worst I have not found one yet.

Thanks
James
