Lumatek Digital Ballasts are the new big thing in horticultural lighting. These ballasts are an incredible alternative to the old fashioned magnetic ballasts that weigh 25-40 lbs. These ballasts weigh only 10 pounds! They also use less electricity to produce more lumens than a regular 600 watt ballast.
Why choose a Lumatek Electronic ballast over a core-and-coil (magnetic) ballast?
- Fast start-up ...It reaches full brightness in under one minute; magnetic ballasts typically take about twenty minutes
- Completely silent ...you have to put your ear up to the ballast before you can detect the slightest sound
- Small compact design ...600watt ballast weighs less than 4 kilos compared to almost 16 kilos for magnetic ballasts.
- Produce less heat
- Cut-off circuitry ...Automatic cut off when a short is detected. For ultimate safety.
- Longer bulb life...Lumen output loss over time is dramatically less than with magnetic ballasts
- Fully interchangeable ...Lumatek ballasts can light both HPS and MH bulbs
More lumen output...20%-30% more lumens output...More light equals more yield
There are no fans to break down or make noise; fan cooled ballast's have a very high failure rate. Lumatek ballasts are very, very reliable. Which is why we offer the excellent warranty.
The ballast can be mounted in areas of high heat. Up to 140
