    Default 2 ballasts explode

    Iv got,had.... Lumii digital dimable ballasts 1000watt... Over a month both have blown up...okay iv had them 2-3 years... Omega do 5 year guarantee.. Can you have them repaired.. I opened one once and it was like full of tar.
    AGAINST the legalization of cannabis.. the business is already set up do you want to work for some big company at minimum wage?

    decriminalization is all we need.ask an American.. Where now they pay thc tax and can't afford enough Meds plus the card ruins most insurance ..no rant this is factual

    I don't see how you could repair one, like you said the coils or wrap in some kind of tar.

    It's not the end of the world and 600 watt adjustable work out near same as 1 * 1000 but I can get two... 600 have to be better than 1000watt in my eyes as I did 52 Oz in a 1.5x 1.2 tent.... My record and I used 2 x 600 watt

    The tar stuff is what insulates the digital ballast from rf and interference, so normal. My lumii blew after 3-4 years too i was gutted i liked it. If you got a 5 yr guarantee then use it buddy.

    I been over doing some reading, and seems I am wrong, They say two 400 don't add up, only being coverveg for only 18 sq ft, where the 1,000 will cover 25 sq ft. Lots of people that use two 400W first went to 1,000@ and they say they want go back.

    Hmm this isn't the first time a member has complained about these Omega ballasts...can't be a coincidence, I personally would steer clear.

    The last member who complained did not get any luck with the supposed '5-year guarantee' and they refused to honour it

    Have a read through that thread here - Linky
