Lumatek electronic ballasts feature a full 3 year exchange warranty.

The Lumatek electronic ballast produces up to 30% more lumens than a standard core and coil (magnetic) ballast whilst drawing less electricity. The Lumatek ballast is completely silent (no more buzzing) and produces less heat than a standard ballast Because of lumatek's soft start technology the lamps last up to three times as long. Test data has shown that a Lumatek 600 watt ballast produces within 5% of the usable light of a 1000watt core and coil ballast! Digital ballasts also do not degrade like standard ballasts do. Over time magnetic ballasts become louder, produce less light, emit more heat and use more electricity. Electronic ballasts maintain their efficiency throughout their life span.

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 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 4.5 kilos compared to almost 20 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.
* Lumatek products - fast start up
* The ballast can be mounted in areas of high heat. Up to 140° Farenheit.
* Every Lumatek ballast is burned for 12 hours at the factory
* Excellent three year, full exchange warranty
* Lumatek ballasts are 8% brighter than ROM and future ballasts
* No fans to break down after 1 or 2 years
* Safer - The Lumatek ballast is completely sealed from the inside

Please note Lumatek Ballasts do not come with a lamp cord- please see Lumatek section for lamp cords.

*Lumatek Ballasts now operate on either 120 or 240V, can run either MH or HPS bulbs, and are dimmable.
