This is not an OEM ballast in a blue box.
let me refrase this, they were taking ballasts and repotting them in there cases as with the older 660 (i believe it was) it was two HO ballast in one box. now this was also 8 years ago I believe, so maybe they make a few things now, but really from a economical stand point for the amount of ballast they use it wouldn't be cost effective to make there own localy, but maybe there are having them made now who knows a lot can change in 8 years, but I would still never own one.. it isn't because of the product but because of the owners and the way they used to do buisness, can't say if they still operate that way but I don't care lots of cheeper stuff that is just as good if not better out there.
