Produced in Long Beach, California, the Cadillac of ballast’s HD-1000w version was introduced in 2014 to great fanfare, and for a good reason. Building on the industry wide quality Powerbox is known for, the 1000w is adjustable down to either 600w or 400w, and features ignition management, soft start, staggered startup and powers double-ended bulbs. It comes with a 3-year warranty and retails for $279. Durably built with a lifespan of many years, it may be the last ballast you ever have to purchase.
