LUMATEK 600W 240V Controllable Electronic Ballast

Lumatek 600W 240V – electronic ballast

LUMATEK 600W 240V CONTROLLABLE BALLAST is a digitalcontrollable ballast that can operate with both high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) lamps. It provides stable and precise voltage to the lamp, creating higher PAR/PPF output while still being much more energy-efficient than most ballasts on the market! The ballast features soft-start technology and a soft-dimming mechanism! It can be controlled externally with LUMATEK Control Panel Plus 2.0 (sold separately).

• output power: 600W
• 4 operating modes: 250W - 400W -  600W - 660W
• generates very little heatcompared to other ballasts on the market
• operates silently
• Protection from short circuit, 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 brightness decreases. This does not happen with digital ballasts - they maintain the same level of output and efficiency. LUMATEK ballasts are programmed for a "soft start", meaning that a voltage and current spike is not needed to start the lamp, which extends the bulb's lifespan, does not strain the electrical system, and allows a larger number of ballasts to be safely started simultaneously.

Operating instructions:

• For use with a 250W HPS or MH lamp: The ballast must always be in 250W mode only!
• For use with a 400W HPS or MH lamp: The ballast must never be in 600W or 660W mode! 
• For use with a 600W HPS or MH lamp: Start in 600W modeand only after the lamp has fully warmed up (about 10 min. of operation), you can switch to 660W mode!

1. Disconnect the power when replacing the lamp!
2. LUMATEK recommends replacing the lamp after 6-12 months of use!
3. VERY IMPORTANT: allow the lamp to cool completely (20-30 min.) before switching it on again! (Otherwise, its lifespan will be shortened.)
4. The lamp should also not be switched off before it has reached full power!
