Easy answer, you get what you pay for.

It looks exactly the same as another cheaply made product which has little or no warranty, chews up the power (inefficient ballasts) and is known to be unreliable.

I'm sorry to bump this post with such a short post but..... That was funny!

I came accrost some balasts that were reliable and affordable. Give me a day to find out what it was.

I saw this add on another forum and sounds like a bargain to me.



3 x Dupla Electra 150watt Metal Halides. Excellent condition, also a couple of spare 10k globes. If you are running a plant tank or marine, these are the best lights you can get. $300each. (they retail for over $800 each)

He has 3 for sale and if they retail for $800 each then they should be good..

Hope it helps.
