Most disappointing equipment purchase

I'd have to say that my worst purchase would be the three Coralife 65W PC fixtures I've bought. On two of them the ballasts just blew after less than a year of use for no reason. I've owned a lot of different light fixtures, pendants and retro fits and no other one has ever done that.

I actually kept the titanium heater part but trashed the controller and now I just use it on a timer to come on for a few hours at night if it's cold.
