Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ballast only for 600w lamps?
While it is rated for 600w, this digital ballast can successfully power 250w and 400w HPS or Metal Halide lamps by using its dimmable settings. This flexibility allows you to use a single ballast throughout different stages of your plant's life.What is the "Boost" setting and when should I use it?
The 600w + Boost or Super-Lumen setting temporarily increases the power output to approximately 660w, yielding up to 10% more light. It should be used only during the final flowering stage when plants can handle the extra intensity, aiming to maximise final yield.Can I use this ballast with LED lights?
Yes, this ballast has a special function that allows it to drive the LUMii Black 720w LED fixture, making it a unique and versatile investment for growers who may want to switch from HID to LED in the future.Do I need a special timer for this electronic ballast?
As a high-performance electronic ballast, it has a high-inductive load. It is strongly recommended to use a Heavy Duty Contactor Timer like the Plug and Grow Apex 13A Inductive Load Plug In Timer or a robust, purpose-built digital timer like the Mojo Cow Time-R Digital Timer designed specifically for switching HID lighting to ensure reliability and safety.SKU: 1279Free delivery on orders over £60*
