This is the economical (Eco) version of the Raider Ballast. It's cheaper than the original however it also means the quality while still good, is not as high as the original Raider Ballast. The component life span will be shorter. Performance wise it is still just as good and better than other cheap brands on the market. The Eco has a smaller case so it will run slightly hotter than the original Raider Ballast. This should be taken into consideration when placing or mounting the ballast. Do not use on surfaces that can melt or combust under heat. Comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty from date of purchase. Besides this the ballasts are very good. It’s a cost-effective solution!
