Generally a swap out warranty means that you get a new whatever you had. It is not prorated over the life of the warranty, like many products. I hope I don't have to find out.

call me stupid but wat exactly are the terms taht descibe the prorated warranty?
im just tryin to uderstand the whole "language of the ballast" LOL - before i do decide ever to go out and upgrade when i do.
warranty's are a good selling point to me sometimes too. it kinda speaks of/for the vendor in some cases i think.
i.e. :
excellent warranty = confident vendor = usually good reputation product etc = happy zip the consumer :aok: lol

Well, I don't think that they called them anything special--prorated warranties are still called warranties--the prorated part is usually in the fine print. Many vehicle parts are warrantied on a prorated basis--tires and batteries come to mind--and you pay for "what you have used".

Companies can promise anything. It is their willingness to back it up that really matters. This is (I believe) a new company and I took a chance on one of their ballasts. Whether it will prove to be a good idea or not, only time will tell. It is operating just fine right now.

lumatek does indeed seem to be the ballast of choice in the digital catagory, but the more i think about it the old mags seem to be just fine...once the digi's become as reliable as the mags, thats when i'd make the switch.

:yeahthat:

And when the price becomes more in line with the mags.

For myself, I can't really see any advantage, especially with the price difference. Just not worth it IMO.

Plus, many advanced bulbs can't be used with the digi ballast. Or, did they fix that?
