Facts & Questions
Why choose an 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 20 minutes.
Small compact design
600 watt ballast weighs less than 4.5 kilos compared to 20 kilos for magnetic ballasts.
Cut-off circuitry
Each ballast has a removable fuse to protect against power surges.
Fully interchangeable
Lumatek ballasts can light both HPS and MH bulbs.
Completely silent
You have to put your ear up to the ballast before you can detect the slightest sound.
Produce less heat
Lumatek Ballasts are only warm to the touch. Ballasts can be in the growroom.
Longer bulb life
Lumen output loss over time is dramatically less than with magnetic ballasts.
More lumen output
20%-30% more lumens output... More light equals more yield!
Available in 250, 400, 600, 750 & 1000 watt models
