Digital Ballasts and wifi interferance

[Miseria]

Is this a real issue or should I file this under the foil hat category? I've ran across some posts this morning where people complain about this. Some even say their digital ballast messed up radio signals on the whole block. I'm planning my grow room and was set on some nice Solis Tek digital ballasts but if its gonna funk with my wifi I'll just go magnetic.

Or is this just an issue with cheap, poorly made ballasts?

Many thanks!

Hi Miseria.

Welcome to 420 Magazine!

I haven't ever heard of this being an issue but can attest that I have a digital ballast about 15 feet from my computer and use a wifi signal to connect with my printer and have not experienced any problems.

That would be magnetic ballast that give of extreme rf signals not digital.

Poorly made digitals do this, you should be fine.

I have 2 Hortilux 600 watt e ballast. They are deffinitly not cheap. I am having problems with rf signals escaping and getting into my coax cable. Cable company said they traced the noise back to my house. So the price of the expensive units does not guarantee you wont have problems. You buy a cheap Chinese made ballast and i'm sure it will be howling like a wolf.....

Im still in the process of trying to fix my problem. Check out my journal for the full story and updates.

I am running 4 600 watt phantom digital ballasts in my basement and have no problems with WiFi or cable
