A: yes

**Q: Will it save me money on my bill**

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2017*

Highly recommend! Amazing! This ballast is extremely lightweight compared to older types. It is almost silent and barely vibrates. Super quiet and works great. I am going to replace all of my old ballasts with these as they wear out.

    Did not work
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018*

I have a greenhouse with four 1000 watt metal halide ballasts, fixtures, and bulbs, each on its own timer. I've been dealing with this kind of lighting for about 15-20 years. One of my current magnetic ballasts apparently burned out. After I ordered this ballast I figured out that my timer was bad and replaced it, and my old magnetic ballast still works. But I usually keep backup bulbs and a spare ballast on hand, so when I received this Xtrahydro 1000w ballast, I installed it, and the ballast turned on but the bulb didn't fire. So I unplugged it and waited about 15 minutes and put in a good light from another fixture and it didn't fire either. Finally I hooked this ballast up to another fixture where I KNEW the cable, the fixture, and the light were all good, and the bulb didn't fire. I had the brightness set at 100% and never changed it.So the ballast did not work. I'm returning the ballast.
