HID Hut Lumatek Digital Ballasts
Your hydroponics system is carefully constructed and depends on a variety of hydroponic equipment to achieve the desired growth, including the choice of digital ballasts. Ballast choice is among the most important factors. There are six basic designs that dominate the ballast market: core and coil, potted core and coil, f-can, indoor enclosed, outdoor weatherproof, and post line. Each have perceived advantages and disadvantages, but there is no doubt that Lumatek Digital Ballasts remain one of the most advanced ballast solutions available one the market today. HID Hut carries the full line of Lumatek ballasts and offers an extensive three year exchange warranty to allow customers to make their purchase with the utmost confidence.
Lumatek bills themselves and their digital ballast as “the biggest advancement in horticultural lighting”, and one would be hard pressed to argue that statement. Modern digital ballast designs use advanced electronics to precisely regulate the current flowing through the electrical circuit. Since they use a higher cycle rate, flickers or audible humming noises are generally reduced or eliminated altogether. Different grow lamps require specialized ballasts designed to maintain specific voltage and current levels for various designs.
Lumatek digital ballasts produce 20-30% higher light output, and use less electricity than the magnetic core-and-coil models. For example, the 600W digital ballast from Lumatek produces within 5% of the light that the 1000W magnetic counterpart does. Other advantages of the Lumatek Digital Ballast are stealthy silent operating ability, small and compact design, fast start-up, less heat generation, cut-off circuitry, and a broader light spectrum.
Enjoy more lumens and a fully interchangeable digital ballast with a Lumatek digital ballast. By eliminating fans from their ballasts, Lumatek models are among the most stunningly silent in the industry. Plus, they are less likely to break down due to the simplicity of their updated design. Vibrations have also been eliminated. The soft-start technology means that your lamp lasts up to three times as long, but full brightness is reached in under one minute. Lumatek Digital Ballasts also maintain their efficiency throughout their lifespan without degrading like standard ballasts.
Every Lumatek Digital Ballast has burned in the factory for over 12 hours. The ballast can be mounted in areas of extreme heat, and can withstand temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
