This bugger blew last night , face was two feet away and took some shrapnel , thankfully i wear glasses as there was easily enougth energy to blind.
Sounded very like a gunshot and nearly shit myself, glass mostly in tiny shards leaveing the plants very sparkly but will be hard to remove at harvest.
Was running fine for ten 12 hour cycles and failed with no visible or audible warning two hours after final startup.
The BAL 600 watt ballast was not affected but did NOT cut out and was still supplying current , old proven phillips now working fine.
Was recommended to try these as suitable for digital , anyone else have any experience with these ?
