The Lumatek electronic ballasts will handle both Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs! They include a Hydrofarm compatible plug for instant connection to Hydrofarm reflectors and cordset (cordset NOT included). They produce 20-30% more lumens than magnetic ballasts and are 8-15% brighter than other digital brands on the market.

Lumatek electronic ballasts have a strong advantage in the marketplace with their soft start technology which can help your HID lamps last up to three times as long, yet the fast start up lets your lamps reach full brightness in less than a minute. Plus they're Microprocessor controlled to ensure proper performance with every bulb!

Like most digital ballasts, the Lumateks run cool so there is no need for a cooling fan, hence, no moving parts to go on the fritz. They run completely silent - no more buzzing or humming! They are small and compact is size and weigh under 10 lbs.

These sealed units are water resistant for safety and to prolong ballast life. Another safety factor is the Lumetek's cut-off-circuitry that automatically shuts off the ballast in case of a short. There's also a 15 foot RF-shielded output cord to prevent radio and TV signal interruption.

Ideal for warm weather areas, Lumatek electronic ballasts can handle the heat - up to 140° F. Every ballast is factory tested for 12 hours so you know they're reliable. The Lumateks carry the best warranty in the industry: 8 years Full Warranty

If you're running older Hydrofarm equipment, and would like to update to a new electronic ballast for the lower heat output, and monthly electrical savings, you can be reassured that the Lumatek ballast is completely compatible with all Hydrofarm cordsets. You can simply unplug your old magnetic ballast, and just plug the Lumatek into it's place! No need to replace your Hydrofarm brand cordset or reflector.

Available in 120V and 240V.
