Digital Balasts: Lumatek grow lights of the future
Digital Ballasts are ushering in the new age of indoor grow lighting. Digital ballasts, also known as Electronic ballasts, really outshine their traditional brethren. Check out how they stack up:
- Digital ballast put out equal or increased light compared to the conventional core and coil Magnetic ballasts
- This is all achieved at lower cost due to greater efficiency and reduced power usage
- Digital Ballasts offer less heat production and virtually silent opperation
- Balasts, like the Lumateks are also much lighter and smaller
There are many different Digital Ballasts to choose from on the market today. All come from China (not a single Digital Ballast is made in the U.S. or any other country for that matter,) and most are faulty or poorly crafted.
igrowhydro insider tip
Stay far away from the FutureBrites or the Global GreenHouses or any other Digital ballast with a fan. A good Digital Ballast will be resin sealed.
We think the Lumateks are easily the best Digital Ballast on the market today. They are resin sealed, and produce the least amount of EMI (electro- magnetic interference) of any electronic ballast and conform to all international Electro-magnetic emission standards. What makes them really special is that they are 15-20% brighter than Standard Magnetic Ballasts and also most Digital Ballasts as well. Next to the Lumateks, nothing else really compares.

Thanks for the great tip. I’ve been using the Lumateks now for a while and after comparing them to the FutureBrites or the Global GreenHouses – I’m really glad I went with Lumatek. These ballasts are solid and work great.
