Digital Ballast & Magnetic Ballast
HPS & Metal Halide grow lamps can run on Digital Ballasts or Magnetic Ballasts. Digital ballasts offer numerous advantages over Magnetic ballasts, making them perfect for indoor gardening and hydroponic systems where precise control is essential
- Dimmable: Allows for adjustable light intensity to match different growth stages, also features super lumen boost output increasing a 600w lamp up to 690w
- Energy Efficient: Consumes less power, making it more cost-effective over time
-
Reduced Heat: Generates less heat, reducing the need for additional cooling
- Silent Operation: Operates quietly, eliminating the buzzing noise typical of magnetic ballasts
Magnetic ballasts are known for their simplicity, used for many years in older lighting setups. and environments where durability is more critical than energy efficiency.
