This item includes 1 x 15ft coard and socket set (44.99msrp) New and Improved for 2007!

• Now works with all lamps
• Improved RF shielding
• Improved customer service and support from Lumatek™

Lumatek™ digital ballasts are the most advanced lighting solution for today’s indoor gardeners. Small, compact and completely silent, these ballasts are able to deliver up to 20% more lumens while using less electricity than standard magnetic ballasts. Unlike magnetic ballasts which over time become louder, produce less light, emit more heat and use more electricity, Lumatek™ digital ballasts maintain their efficiency throughout their life span. Lumatek™ Features:

• More lumens - up to a 20% increase
• Dedicated Voltage - dual voltage ballasts sacrifice performance
• Enhanced Bulb Compatibility - works with all major brands of lamps
• Silent - the days of humming and buzzing are long gone
• Internal RF Shielding - best on the market
• Ultra Light Weight - only 8 pounds
• Soft Start - increases lamp life and lumen depreciation
• External Fuse System - protects against power surges

Lumatek™ digital ballasts feature the best warranty in the industry - 5 years!

Why choose an electronic ballast over a core-and-coil (magnetic) ballast?

• Fast startup - reaches full brightness in under 1 minute; magnetic ballasts typically take about 20 minutes
• Completely silent - you have to put your ear up to the ballast before you can detect the slightest sound
• Small, compact design - most Lumatek™ models weigh only 8 pounds compared to up to 44 pounds for magnetic ballasts
• Produces less heat than magnetic ballasts
• Cut-off-circuitry - automatically shuts off in case of a short
• Efficient - uses less electricity than magnetic ballasts
• Longer bulb life - lumen output loss over time is dramatically less than with magnetic ballasts
• Lumatek™ ballasts can light both MH and HPS lamps (750W is HPS only); the 600W HPS ballast will also light 600W MH conversion bulbs
• More lumen output - up to 20% more lumen output than regular ballasts

Commitment to Quality – The most reliable digital ballast available
Quality components make a difference in the performance and reliability of a digital ballast. Lumatek™ spared no expense when choosing the best possible mix of components for their digital ballasts ensuring that they will provide years of stable performance. Some digital ballasts were designed to overdrive the lamp so they can advertise the highest output, but this dramatically decreases the life of the bulb (costing you more money each year) and uses more electricity. Other digital ballasts claim huge savings in electricity, but these ballasts don't burn the lamp bright enough. Lumatek™ ballasts were designed to be the most efficient by striking the perfect balance between lamp performance and electricity savings. And, unlike many other digital ballast companies that offer a 3-year warranty, Lumatek™ offers an industry best 5-year warranty (3 years full/2 years prorated). Ballasts that offer a shorter warranty usually do so because they know they are either over or under driving the ballast, resulting in higher failure rate and thus a shorter warranty period. The company also offers a toll-free technical support number making Lumatek™ the safest choice for your digital lighting needs.

Enhanced Bulb Compatibility
Lumatek™ designed their ballasts to drive your bulb to peak perfection ensuring that you get the highest quality of light available. All Lumatek™ ballasts have been rigorously tested to ensure compatibility with today’s leading brands of lamps and are capable of powering both Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium lamps (750 watt is HPS only).

Why doesn't Lumatek™ offer their ballasts with a switchable voltage feature?

• It all boils down to efficiency. All dual-voltage ballasts are designed for optimal performance when run on a 240V circuit. There is a significant drop-off in their performance when used on 120V power. Light meter readings show that you can lose as much as 15% of light output when using a dual-voltage ballast on 120V. Lumatek™, on the other hand, chose not to sacrifice performance, and instead offers their ballasts in either 120V or 240V. Dedicated voltage ballasts like the Lumatek™ are the smart choice if you want to get the most out of your digital lighting system.

Why choose Lumatek™ over Future Bright, Terra Grow, ROM Light and other electronic ballasts?

• Their are no fans to break down and make noise; fan-cooled ballasts have a high failure rate, especially if they are utilizing cheap fans - the Lumatek™'s failure rate is only about 3 in 1000. Lumatek™ ballasts can withstand very high temperatures and the epoxy used to seal the ballasts also act as a heat sink, so Lumatek™ ballasts do not require fans. Although many fan-cooled ballast manufacturers state that their ballasts are cooler to the touch, they are just blowing the hot air created by the ballast out into the room, so although their ballasts may seem cooler to the touch, your room really isn't any cooler with these ballasts. In addition, the large openings required for these fans also allow dust to enter the unit and fire to escape if they malfunction (yes, we saw this happen to one customer).
• The ballast can be mounted in areas of high heat, up to 140 degrees
• Every ballast is tested and burned in for 12 hours at the factory
• The Lumatek™ ballast has the best warranty of all electronic ballasts -5 YEARS! (3 year exchange 2 year prorated). Future Bright: only 2 years (an optional 3rd year can purchased for an $40.00). ROM Light: only 3 years. Terra Grow: 1 year replacement; 4 years prorated.
• Lumatek™ ballasts are up to 8% brighter then ROM and Future Bright ballasts
• Safer - the Lumatek™ is completed sealed from the inside (as are most high-powered fluorescent ballasts). Although the Future Bright ballast claims to have the same overload protection and sleep mode function that Lumatek™ has, we have seen several customers who experienced situations where the ballast should have shut itself down but never did (even when the ballast was submerged in water!). Lastly, we have dropped Lumatek™ ballasts from over 5' in the air onto the hard ground while still plugged in repeatedly to demonstrate to customers how durable and safe these ballasts are, and the light never even flickers - don't try that with any other ballast!
• Lumatek™ ballasts are the only digital ballasts endorsed by G.E. and U.L. approved at the time of this writing.

Important information regarding Lumatek™ ballasts:

1. 240V ballast wiring - VERY IMPORTANT! It has come to our attention that customers are using a NEUTRAL wire in their 240V electrical system. Lumatek™ ballasts will malfunction if the 240V circuit has a NEUTRAL. The input for the ballast is 2 HOT WIRES and 1 GROUND WIRE. Some electricians insist on wiring a neutral with their 240V installations. This should not be done when using electronic ballasts. If you are using a light controller ONLY bring a ground wire and two hot leads from your electrical panel. Please call Lumatek™ technical support at 1-888-369-8943 (M-Sa 10:00a-6:00p PST) with any questions regarding this.
2. Electronic ballasts should not be used on generators. Damage to ballasts caused by electric generators will not be covered under warranty.
3. Electronic ballasts will work only with Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium lamps. They will not work with Mercury Vapor (MV) or pulse strike metal halide lamps.

Lumatek™ electronic ballasts are available in 250W, 400W, 600W, 750W and 1000 watt versions. Most ballasts are available in either 120V or 240V.
