Why choose electronic ballasts instead of traditional electromagnetic ballasts?
Fast start-up. Reaches full power in less than a minute, whereas electromagnetic ballasts take up to 20 minutes to reach full power.
Completely silent. You have to be very close to the ballast to hear a very faint sound.
Small and compact design. A 600W ballast weighs less than 4 kilos compared to 8 kilos for an electromagnetic ballast.
Produces less heat.
Safety circuit. To protect the ballast and lamp from damage.
Extends lamp life. The lamp's lumen loss over time is drastically lower than with a conventional ballast.
Higher lumen output. 20 to 30% more lumens than with an electromagnetic ballast. More lumens = More yield.
Dimmable light intensity. To adapt the light to the phenological state of the plants, Solux ballasts allow light to be adjusted from 50%, through 75%, 100% and 110% (Super Lumens).
