    The 400W digital ballast is probably the best out of the three listed.

    it will save you electric and will not get anywhere near as hot as a normal ballst

    600W digital ballast would be better though.

    All depending on your grow area and air flow too ofcourse.

    Good luck and don't forget the Carbon Filter!!

    Looks like the digital ballast is not a digital one though so check that's not a typo error!

    I think the first one the link for the £64 one is the one I bought sounded the same amount of money seems alright the ballast gets warm/hot but its always touchable, the light can get really hot tho make sure you have proper fans setup I have intake/exaust and I didn't manage to keep the reflector cool until I directed another fan inside at the light it cooled it right down.

    It depends on your room size mine is only 80x80x160 tent biggest you want in it is 400.
