Great
Can't beat for price by RYAN
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 10/30/2009 from COLBERT, WA UNITED STATES
Comments: I bought this as a replacement for a higher-end unit that recently went out, and I think this one may actually put out better light than the more expensive one I had. Works perfect after 1 week, the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the short amount of time that's it's been in use for me.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great
great ballast by LG
Experience Level: Intermediate
Posted on 8/8/2009 from SEMINOLE, FL UNITED STATES
Comments: The ballast is very similar in size to the Icecap. I found this ballast to come with a plug attachment that you can splice on your existing wire if you have one. Very nice. The only problem with this is that it takes some patience to put the wires into the plug configuration. Make sure you have thin enough wire so that it attaches easy to the screws. Other than that, it starts up just as quick as my icecap. The plug attachment is the nicest thing. Makes for a clean installation and no wires to contend with. Very happy with it.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
