Why Choose an Electronic Ballast? • Fast start-up - It reaches full brightness in under one minute; magnetic ballasts typically take about twenty minutes • Completely silent - you have to put your ear up to the ballast before you can detect the slightest sound • Small compact design - 600 watt ballast weighs less than 4.5 kilos compared to almost 20 kilos for magnetic ballasts. • Produce less heat • Cut-off circuitry - Automatic cut off when a short is detected. For ultimate safety. • Longer bulb life - Lumen output loss over time is dramatically less than with magnetic ballasts • Fully interchangeable - Lumatek ballasts can light both HPS and MH bulbs • More lumen output - 20%-30% more lumens output - More light equals more yield!
