Lumatek digital ballasts are a small compact design, silent running and produce less heat than standard core/coil ballasts.
- Lumatek ballasts can light both High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide lamps.
- Because of Lumateks soft start technology the lamps last up to three times as long.
- Lumatek ballasts have an external switch, this feature will boost lumen output by 10% when the switch is activated.
- This feature is only to be used with HPS lamps, ideal when you want to boost lumen output in the flowering stage.
- With the switch off, MH and HPS lamps can be used with ballasts.
- Electronic ballasts also do not degrade like standard ballasts do.
- Over time core/coil ballasts become louder, produce less light, emit more heat and use more electricity.
- Electronic ballasts maintain their efficiency throughout their life span.
- They have a fast start up, it reaches full brightness in less than one minute, and magnetic ballasts typically take about twenty minutes.
- Lumatek ballasts have an automatic cut off when a short is detected, for ultimate safety.
- Lumatek ballasts are completely shielded and are far cheaper to run than a standard core/coil ballast.
