Dear Lumatek ballast users
Hi I am vince in South Korea.
I bought Lumatek Elecronic Ballast from US. Because there is no agent I can find in korea Its very beautiful and performance is very good. I want to ask some questions about this ballast to you. You can refer my blog picture. http://www.spsholic.com/entry/Lumatek-ballast 1. Second picture in my blog, you can see the 2 white button in right side. Could you tell me what it is? 2. I bougtht 400w ballast and you can see the third picture in my blog there is switch in left side. You can see the some mode 250w,HQI,400w,SuperLumen. 2-1. Its ballast is switchable or dimmable? What I want to know is I can use this with both 250w and 400w or 400w only? 400w bulb is available to 250w mode? 2-2 HQI mode is for only 400w HQI bulbs or I can use HQI 250w bulb? |

1. They are built in surge protectors. They protect from external power surges.
2. You can use the ballast with either a 250w or 400w bulb. HQI is for 250w bulb. Super lumen is for 400w bulb. You cannot run a 250w bulb in the 400w setting or a 400w bulb on the 250w setting. You purchased a nice ballast Glad you are happy with it.
