The Colossus Electronic Ballast is a ballast specifically created for double-cap lamps.

This ballast is suitable for HPS/400V and LEC 630 bulbs.

It has a controlled microprocessor that maintains the lamp’s lumen level for longer than traditional ballasts. Low start-up level at only 3 A per unit and IP43 protection. It is a unit that works silently and is very light, and can be mounted on the wall. With thermal and circuit protection. Intelligent digital “soft-start” technology. In combination with the 600 and 1000 W Solux lamps, the best results are obtained.

Why choose electronic ballasts instead of traditional electromagnetic ballasts?

Fast start-up. It reaches its maximum power in less than a minute, whereas electromagnetic ballasts take up to 20 minutes to reach full performance.
Completely silent. You have to be very close to the ballast to hear a very faint sound.
Compact and small design. A 600 ballast weighs less than 4 kilos compared to the 8 kilos of the electromagnetic ballast.
Produces less heat.
Safety circuit. To protect the ballast and lamp from any damage.
Extends lamp life. Lamp lumen loss over time is drastically lower than with a conventional ballast.
Higher lumen output. 20-30% more lumens than an electromagnetic ballast. More lumens = More yield.
Adjustable light intensity. To adapt the light to the phenological state of the plants, Solux ballasts allow the light to be adjusted from 50% to 75%, 100% and 110% (Super Lumens).
