odyssea 48'' metal halide

[blennymower]

The price is great on this product. I hear the ballasts are junk and that they "cause fires". I have had a 48'' odyssea power compact for a couple of months now and it has been working fine. I've read statements from other owners that they work fine.

What say you?

junk ballast, yes, cause fires, horsehockey. look for the monster Odyssea MH thread for more info. You need to upgrade teh halide ballast immediately. At least with the version that was sold up until a few months ago. They are changing some things about the fixture in teh past month or so, so maybe the ballasts will be better. Budget replacement ballasts into the price to be safe. I used ballastwise.
