Growing method: Chilli pepper is a tropical plant that requires warmth, moisture and sunlight.

Environmental requirements:

• Light - a sunny location receiving at least 8 hours of sun per day.

• Warmth - heat-loving (20-30^oC), does not tolerate low temperatures (<10^oC).

Plant ready seedlings outdoors or in a greenhouse in May, once the risk of frost has passed. If necessary, newly planted plants can be covered with plastic for the first few weeks. This helps them acclimatise.

LUMATEK 1000W 240V CONTROLLABLE BALLAST is a digitally controllable ballast that can operate with both sodium (HPS) and metal-halide (MH) lamps. It provides stable, precise voltage to the lamp, delivering higher PAR/PPF output while being far more energy-efficient than most ballasts on the market. The ballast features intelligent start technology and a soft-dimming mechanism. It can be externally controlled with the LUMATEK Control Panel Plus 2.0 (sold separately).

• output power: 1000W
• 4 operating modes: 600W - 750W - 1000W - 1000W SL
• generates very little heat compared with other ballasts on the market
• operates silently
• Protection against short circuits, overheating, overvoltage / undervoltage and end of lamp life!
• 5-year warranty!

An electronic ballast is a solution to the problem of irregular mains voltage. Magnetic ballasts age over time, become noisy and consume more electricity, while heating up ever more as their light output declines. This does not happen with digital ballasts: they maintain the same output and efficiency. LUMATEK ballasts are programmed for a “soft start”, meaning no voltage or current spike is required to start the lamp. This extends bulb life, does not strain the electrical installation and enables more ballasts to be started safely at the same time.

• output power: 1000W
• Input voltage: 240V, 50/60Hz
• max. current: 4.7A
