Its innovative range, from compact LED lights through electronic ballasts, reflectors (shades) and discharge lamps to digital controllers for lighting, is primarily designed for indoor plant growing, for example in grow tents.
For beginners and advanced growers, including experienced professionals, Lumatek products represent a guarantee of a fast return on investment in the equipment of any modern indoor growing room. This is also the essence of the brand’s philosophy, which is always one step ahead of the competition. At Lumatek, they have always placed emphasis on using the best components in combination with a certified, expert team for design and engineering. Thanks to this, Lumatek has been supplying the market for many years with the safest, most reliable and highest-performing products.
Lumatek products are sold to government research facilities, large nurseries, top universities and many publicly traded companies.
Lumatek is proudly available in more than 30 countries, and for some products it offers customers an unrivalled 5-year warranty.
Independent industry specialists regularly carry out tests and, for more than a whole decade, have consistently recommended LUMATEK as one of the best manufacturers of artificial lighting for plant growing.
We must not forget the honesty that makes the Lumatek brand so appealing to us. Many manufacturers of lighting technology for indoor plant cultivation deliberately or unintentionally state distorted or meaningless performance data for growers. You can trust the values stated for Lumatek products and see for yourself in growing practice.

ELECTRONIC BALLASTS

High-frequency digital ballasts with power control launched the British brand Lumatek into the elite of its field in 2004. Thanks to them, it gained its huge reputation. Since then, more than a million units have been sold worldwide! Why?

They provide stable and precise voltage for the lamp.
Compared with other products, they deliver higher output in terms of PAR/PPF values.
They are more energy efficient than most other ballasts on the market.
Intelligent switching is a welcome feature, ensuring flawless timing without hassle, and smooth dimming that benefits plants.
They generate much less heat than other conventional ballasts.
They operate very quietly.
Safety. They are equipped with full circuit protection, including interruption/short circuit, overheating, overvoltage/undervoltage, end-of-life/lamp rectification, EMI/EMC suppression, and they also have CE certification.
The above, together with the top quality of the materials and manufacturing processes used, is also reflected in an above-standard service life, both for the ballasts themselves and for the discharge lamps used.

Choose Lumatek ballasts according to the type of discharge lamp used (see below), especially according to the technology (HPS, MH, CMH, DE) and wattage. Another option is to buy a complete set ballast + discharge lamp + reflector. If you need help matching the individual components together, we will be happy to advise you on your choice.

DISCHARGE LAMPS

HPS (combined light spectrum for growth and flowering)
- Our TIP: the most powerful and efficient discharge lamp on the market - DE - double-ended 1000W HPS discharge lamp for growth and flowering
CMH (rich light with a spectrum similar to sunlight, 20% higher efficiency than MH lamps, see below)
- Our TIP: discounted set of a ballast with a double-ended lamp Lumatek CMH DE Kit 630W Controllable*
MH (growth light spectrum)

*Lumatek products marked Controllable can be controlled using the Lumatek Digital Panel controller.

Are you interested in the Lumatek brand, but are unsure whether to light your plants with a discharge lamp or an LED lamp? This question is answered in a separate article, where we compare both technologies, including examples with products from this remarkable brand. Read HERE.

Our TIP: The most convenient way to choose quality lighting from Lumatek together with everything you need for indoor plant cultivation, including a grow box, is through discounted grow box sets, such as the best-selling LED Set 200W Attis MASTER.
