Ballast question...

19 years ago

ok after alot of reading at this forum, I've decided to go with a 4-bulb T8 setup for my tomatoe seedlings. I'd like to build it myself, and would like a good, quality ballast. The problem is I really don't understand alot of the technical terminology, so the following links are two types (both Sylvania) I'm considering. Could someone please help with what would be the right choice? I'd like it to produce as many lumens as possible and possibly have the option to overdrive the bulbs.

One is a 'low THD' parellel circuit, and the other is a 'normal THD' series circuit (if that even has any effect on seedling growth). Or if you have a better option/brand/ballast for 4 T8's, by all means let me know!

Thanks!
