LUMATEK 1000W 240V CONTROLLABLE digital ballast

Lumatek 1000W 240V - electronic ballast

LUMATEK 1000W 240V CONTROLLABLE BALLAST is a digitally controllable ballast that can operate with both high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) lamps. It provides stable, precise voltage to the lamp, delivering higher PAR/PPF output while still being much more energy-efficient than most ballasts on the market! The ballast features intelligent start technology and a soft-dimming mechanism! It can be controlled externally with LUMATEK Control Panel Plus 2.0 (sold separately).

• output power: 1000W
• 4 operating modes: 600W - 750W - 1000W - 1000W SL
• generates very little heat compared to other ballasts on the market
• operates silently
• Protection against short circuits, overheating, overvoltage / undervoltage, end of lamp life!
• 5-year warranty!

The electronic ballast is a solution to the problem of irregular mains voltage! Magnetic ballasts age over time, start making noise and consume more electricity, heat up more and more, while light output decreases. This does not happen with digital ballasts - they maintain the same level of light output and efficiency. LUMATEK ballasts are programmed for a "soft start", meaning the lamp does not require a voltage and current spike to start, which extends the bulb's life, does not overload the electrical system and allows a larger number of ballasts to be safely started simultaneously.

Operating instructions:

• for use with a 600W HPS or MH lamp: The ballast must always be in 600W mode only!
• for use with a 750W HPS or MH lamp: The ballast must never be in 1000W or 1000W SL mode! 
• for use with a 1000W HPS or MH lamp: Start in 1000W modeand only after the lamp is fully warmed up (after about 10min. of operation), can you switch to 1000W SL mode!

1. Disconnect the power when replacing the lamp!
2. LUMATEK recommends replacing the lamp after 6-12 months of operation!
3. VERY IMPORTANT: the lamp must cool down completely (20-30min.) before being switched on again! (Doing otherwise shortens its lifespan).
4. The lamp must also not be switched off before it has reached full power!
