BALLAST USAGE
High performance with low power consumption and operating cost make the LUMATEK Digital Ballast 250W a great ballast for beginner and professional growers of light-sensitive crops.A ballast is necessary to light high intensity discharge (HID) lamps such as high pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) grow lamps. Depending on the type of crop and light cycle required, ballasts run continuously 8 – 24 hours a day and must therefore be as efficient as possible. With less energy wasted as by-product heat Lumatek ballasts create more light from less energy consumed.
BALLAST TECHNOLOGY
Lumatek digital ballasts control start phases and voltage output via microprocessors which improve lamp performance and less energy is wasted as heat. Even in long term operation the LUMATEK 250W Digital Ballast will only become sightly warm and has full circuit protection including open/short circuit, over temperature, over/low voltage, end of lamp life/rectification and EMI suppression.Selecting the Super Lumens (SL) switch setting on Lumatek ballasts boosts power output to HPS lamps by 10% increasing luminosity and PAR/PPF levels. We do not recommend dimming or boosting MH lamps which should be matched with the same power setting (eg. 250W lamp at 250W and 150W lamp at 150W setting).

WHY LED?
- Benefits include energy savings; Lumatek LED solutions demonstrate the potential to save 40% on electricity and studies indicate that LED-lit canopies can generate more yield per kWh.
- Plant and crop performance; initial studies indicate growers using LED lighting may experience yield increases and changes in cannabinoid and terpene profiles, leading to more consistent medicinal product profiles from harvest to harvest.
- Flexible light intensity; Lumatek LEDs can be dimmed to adjust PPF level to suit crop and growth stage without changing spectral power distribution or losing efficiency.
- Less maintenance; Lumatek LEDs are rated for 60,000 hours use supported by a market leading 5 Year warranty.
- Reduced HVAC; Lumatek LEDs are highly efficient and a less wattage consumption means less heat released into the space, allowing for potentially lower HVAC loads and operating expense.
- Safety; Lumatek LEDs are highly efficient and a less wattage consumption means less hLumatek LED drivers are intelligent and feature full circuit protection including over/under voltage, short circuit and over temperature protection. Lumatek Zeus LED drivers also feature auto-power increase/decrease to match the amount of light bars connected to fixture. All Lumatek LED fixtures are CE certified LVD and EMC compliant.
