The Lumatek 600W digital ballast is considered to be the most powerful, most efficient, and safest electronic ballast on the market. According to the manufacturer, it generates up to 27% higher light output (lumens) with a generally low level of power consumption, and operates silently. Even in long-term operation, the device will only become lukewarm and has an automatic interrupt mechanism for increased safety in case of a short or power surge.

A ballast is always necessary for the operation of high pressure sodium lights (HPS) or metal halide lamps (MH). The selection of the right ballast is dependent on two important factors, economic efficiency in operation and convenience of use.

An electronic ballast in the 400w class with the popular Lumatek Superlumen function: Both output levels (250W, 400W) are complemented by two additional levels, each with around 10% more power! As such, HPS lamps can be pushed up to 275W or 440W. (Metal halide lamps may only be operated at their respective output level).

The NXE 400W from GIB Lighting is an incredibly efficient, yet compact and safe ballast, which allows the indoor gardener to care for remarkable gardens. Another practical advantage of this ballast is the choice of four output levels, which on one hand allow for the operation of a powerful 400W lamp, but also allow for dimmed, and therefore energy-saving operation (of HPS lamps only) for less light-hungry phases of the plant?s life.

Low consumption, but still offers flexible settings. The dimmable NXE 250W from GIB Lighting is a clever choice in the low-energy area, which offers the small-scale gardener a lot of options. With the 275W setting, you can compensate for the reduced performance of older lamps (or ?boost? new lamps), whereas the lower output levels (125W, 190W) allow you to flexibly adjust the energy consumption of HPS lamps according to the varying light-related needs of the plant.

The clever option when choosing a ballast in the low output range is the dimmable Lumatek 250W. Unlike the 250W Lumatek with a Superlumen switch, you can also operate suitable HPS and metal halide lamps at 150W, or you can also ?dim down? 250W HPS lamps to the lower output levels. As such, you can adjust the light output for more light-sensitive phases of the plant?s life, while reducing power consumption at the same time.

• For NDL and MH lamps
• 4-level power control
• passive cooling - low noise
• compact design

The LUMii Black is a low-cost electronic ballast with 4 power levels. Using the rotary control, you can select 250, 400, 600 and 600 watts boost, making your sodium vapor and metal halide lamps with 600 watts rated power extremely flexible. The passive cooling consumes no power and works silent - yet the LUMii Black does not get too hot. Thanks to its compact design of 29 x 12 x 6 cm, it hardly takes up any space. To connect the lamp, this ballast has a convenient IEC connector (female).

The Lumatek 315 W CMH Kit consists of the 315 Watt Lumatek ballast, a Lumatek 315W CMH lamp (Agro 3100), and an E40 adapter.

...

This ballast is already being used in indoor plantations worldwide and uses the principle of square waves to ignite and operate the 315 W ceramic metal halide lamp. The ballast is designed for the Lumatek 315W CMH lamps (4200K Daylight and 3100K Agro available), as well as for CMH lamps operated by Philips. Of course, the 315 watt Lumatek ballast is also dimmable for optimal lighting.
