I wanted to start a thread about the different types of ballasts everyone is using. Pros/cons, any problems, warranty information, etc. This will be the consumer reports of Ballasts.

I have been using 250w icecap electronic ballasts for the last 2 years

Pros:
relatively small casing
energy effecient
lights hqi & SE bulbs
Great customer service

Cons:
I had a problem with them lighting up the XDE bulbs. They would not work.


Anybody else have views? Different wattages? PFO HQI, Bluline, Coralvue, Geissman..
