Hydrofarm, Inc. Hortilux 1000W E-Ballast & Lamp Combo HX90070

Frequently Asked Questions Q: I have a 1000W ballast, can I use a 400W or 600W bulb in it? A: No, ballasts can only be used with bulbs that are of the same wattage rating. A 1000W ballast can only be used with a 1000W bulb, a 400W with a 400W, etc. *This does not apply to the dimmable Lumateks, which can use a 600W bulb if dimming switch is set to 600W, etc.* Q: Can an HPS ballast be used to power a metal halide bulb? A: This is never recommended, the ballast and bulb type (wattage and operation) must match. Convertible ballasts, however, can be switched between MH and HPS modes. There is also the option of using a conversion bulb, this is a special type of bulb which allows an HPS ballast to operate a MH bulb or visa versa. *This does not apply to the Phantom digital models* • INCLUDES A HORTILUX LU1000 SUPER HPS BULB • CLEAN COOL TECHNOLOGY • LOW FREQUENCY, SQUARE WAVE FORM • CONFORMS TO ANSI STANDARDS • ENGINEERED BY EXPERTS IN LAMP-BALLAST COMPATIBILITY • FULL 5 YEAR BALLAST WARRANTY WHAT'S INCLUDED • 1000W 120/240 volt Electronic Ballast • 120V cord • HORTILUX LU1000B/HTL/EN Super HPS lamp TECHNOLOGY • Designed by experts in lamp-ballast compatibility to operate 1000W HORTILUXTM lamps (Supers HPS, BLUE & Metal halide) • Superior Performing design - Made in Japan • Clean CoolTM Technology channels airflow to reduce dirt & dust accumulation on critical electronic components (Patent Pending JP201162403) • 5 years of product development and testing ensures performance & reliability • 120 Hertz, Low Frequency Square Wave FEATURES • ETL Certified in the USA & Canada for fire and electrical safety • High Power Factor • Flicker-Free steady state operation • Extended ground contact in lamp plug for maximum safety • Generator Ready • 10% energy savings over conventional magnetic ballasts • Remote ballasts capable, maximum 15 feet
