Anyone Used Quick Flip 2 Light Ballast Flip?

[!RA!]

Curious if anyone's used these light flippers before. Rebuilding my flower room and just got a pair. Any opinions or experience with them?

I should have replied earlier, stay away from those flips, if you do buy one, open it up and check the Voltage & Amperage rating for the relays. I helped design and build the prototypes for the manufacturer. They were using cheap no-name relays and lamp receptacles only rated for 250V instead of 600V.

yes I agree ,junk. Pulled one apart and all soldered connections broke off .110 dollars for a 20 dollar relay. typical .

Yep I bought 5 of them at a grow shop that had em on Clarence rack. Thought it was a deal of a lifetime until I tried to use them. Garbage.

I have about 20 of the original quickflips left, they were all built by me and with quality components and soldered correctly. When I originally built the prototypes for Crystal Mountain Products, owner of quickflips, I gave them the correct relay to use and had soldered about 100 LEDs and resistors and showed them how to do it. They chose to use a $5 relay instead of the Magnacraft relay intended for flips. Send me a PM if you are interested in any of them.
