| Lumatek Digital Electronic Ballasts Lumatek is the world’s leading supplier of digital ballasts to horticulture. Tests have shown that the stable light output produced by Lumateks make them up to 27% brighter and more efficient than common core-and-coil ballasts. Lumateks are also 10-15% brighter than most other brands of digital ballasts on the market. The result is more lumens produced per watt of energy consumed. Lumatek ballasts are silent and produce less heat than standard core-and-coil ballasts. They are also very compact and much lighter in weight. The microprocessors built into Lumateks allow the ballasts to properly detect and power both Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs. They are programmed to allow a “soft start” that does not create power surges and will allow lamps to reach full brightness in less than 1 minute. Lumateks also include a safety feature that protects the ballast and the bulb against sudden power loss, power spikes and brownouts. 400-watt (120V or 240V), 600-watt (120V or 240V), 750-watt (240V) and 1000-watt (240V) models. All Lumateks come with a 15 ft. RF shielded output cord. Lumateks have proven to be very reliable and offer the best guarantee in the industry with a 5-year warranty (full 3-year guarantee + 2-year prorata). All units from Brite-Lite also come complete with a universal socket cord compatible with most reflectors. |

| Sun Pulse Lamps by Life Light Technology These lamps are specially formulated for plants and other living things. They are designed specifically to work with high frequency digital ballasts. They are available in 3000K, 4000K, 6400K and 10,000K. The choice available allows growers to mix and match to create perfect blends of light to meet the specific needs of plants from new seedlings to mature plants ready for harvest. These lamps are suited to all manufacturers of electronic ballasts and are engineered to withstand the high frequencies generated by these systems (25Khz – 130Khz). A lighting schedule to show to mix and match these bulbs at different stages of plant growth is available. Using Sun Pulse lamps with electronic systems assures long and even lamp life with little colour shift or loss. The Sun Pulse line is available in the 4 Kelvin spectrums noted above in 400-watt and 600-watt sizes. 750-watt and 1000-watt versions are in development and coming soon. |
