Ballasts / Chokes

LUMii Digita 600W – electronic ballast

LUMii Digita 600W Electronic Ballast is an electronic/digital ballast/choke with dimming capability (reducing or increasing the power) for 600W high-pressure sodium (HPS) or metal halide (MH) lamps/bulbs. LUMii Digita 600W Electronic Ballast is an electronic choke with a built-in microprocessor that controls the unit and operates at a higher frequency than standard analog chokes. Greater efficiency means more light for your plants. It allows the bulb to ignite quickly, thereby saving energy. Quieter than any other choke. Measurements indicate up to 30% greater brightness than analog chokes. An electronic choke solves the problem of irregular mains voltage! Analog chokes age over time, become noisy and consume more electricity, heat up more and more, while their light output decreases. This does not happen with electronic chokes; they maintain the same level of light output and efficiency. To ensure safe operation, the LUMii ballast is programmed to switch off in the event of a short circuit, if the bulb burns out, or if no bulb is present.

The electronic ballast is a solution to the problem of irregular mains voltage! Magnetic ballasts age over time, start making noise and consume more electricity, heat up more and more, while brightness decreases. This does not happen with digital ballasts - they maintain the same level of output and efficiency. LUMATEK ballasts are programmed for a "soft start", meaning that a voltage and current spike is not needed to start the lamp, which extends the bulb's lifespan, does not strain the electrical system, and allows a larger number of ballasts to be safely started simultaneously.

• Compatible with high-frequency electronic (400V) horticultural lamps, which emit 10-25% more light.
• Highly efficient - retain more than 95% of their reflective properties, so you only need to replace the bulb once a year.
• Replaceable Gavita HR96 reflector with 96% reflectivity for maximum efficiency.
• Controlled output: Use a single knob to increase or decrease the amount of light supplied, according to the conditions or growth stages of your plants.

The new Gavita Pro e-series models are improved versions of Gavita's existing classic range of lighting modules, now compatible with and adapted for complete lighting control via the Gavita Master controller. You can now control the light with just a few simple button presses.

The new addition to the Pro line's e-series is the 6/750e DE FLEX module, which uses the recently developed Gavita Pro 750W DE 400V EL lamp. The lamp's operating range is 400-825W, filling the huge gap between 600 and 1000-watt lamps. We called it 6/750 DE FLEX because it is equally effective when operating at 600 watts and at 750 watts. In many cases, it is a suitable replacement for a 1000-watt ventilated module running at 825W, which can save you up to 20% on electricity. The lamp's output at 750W is 1500 μmol s-1(2μmol s-1 per watt).
