Hi, guys
I'm looking for new 220W power compact because my ballasts are out of order
now.
Who has ever tried Jebo power compact? It's cheaper than any other brand.
Especially, it's more economical to buy it than replacing ballasts. So, I'm
curious about possible problems in using this brand. If it has little
problems, I'd like to use it.

Thanks,
SW

I am looking at them too. From what I have heard, they are typical Chinese
products. As in not badly made, but with some corners cut and some quality
control problems. They have no fans, only one switch and power cord. The
actinics are not good.
Also, don't expect much in the way of customer service.

Some people buy them to cannibalize them for components.

Other than that, not bad. A good deal for the price, especially if you
don't mind replacing the actinic bulbs and the occasional missing screw or
retaining band (which isn't really that big a deal). Medium quality for an
extremely low price.

I wouldn't be surprised to see $100.00 Euroreef clones in a year or two.
