Lumatek continues to innovate by introducing the next generation of HID digital ballast technology for the horticultural crop lighting industry.

The new Lumatek Utopia 630/600 CMH/HPS controllable ballast uses the latest in microprocessor controlled electronics to power high wattage CMH and HPS grow lights, which are the most efficient HID light source for horticultural agriculture, allowing both possibilities at no additional expense.

The Utopia 630W/600W ballast can drive 600W HPS and 630W CMH DE high or low voltage grow lights. Reducing the need for different ballasts/fixtures for each light source and therefore reducing cost and maximizing efficiency and flexibility for all growers.

The Utopia ballast is manually dimmable and can be controlled externally using the Lumatek control panel for up to 400 fixtures per driver unit, with automated dimming and temperature control and safety protection for even greater precision, assurance and control.

It features three manual power settings at 80%-90%-100% with externally controlled light intensity from 80% to 110% in 1% increments using a Lumatek control panel.

For safety, this ballast uses full circuit protection including open/short circuit, over temperature, over voltage/under voltage, end of lamp life/rectification and EMI suppression.
