Its innovative range, from compact LED lights through electronic ballasts, reflectors (shades) and discharge lamps to digital lighting controllers, is primarily intended for indoor plant cultivation, for example in grow tents.
For beginners and advanced growers, including experienced professionals, products from the Lumatek brand represent a guarantee of a rapid return on investment in equipment for any modern indoor growing facility. This is also the essence of the brand's philosophy, which is always one step ahead of the competition. From the very beginning, Lumatek has focused on using the best components in combination with a certified, professional design and engineering team. As a result, Lumatek has been supplying the market with the safest, most reliable and most powerful products for many years.
Lumatek products are sold to government research facilities, large nurseries, leading universities and many publicly traded companies.
Lumatek is proudly available in more than 30 countries, while for some products it provides customers with an unrivalled 5-year warranty.
Independent industry specialists regularly carry out tests and, for more than an entire decade, have consistently recommended LUMATEK as one of the best manufacturers of artificial lighting for plant cultivation.
We must not forget the honesty that makes the Lumatek brand so appealing to us. Many manufacturers of lighting equipment for indoor plant cultivation deliberately or unintentionally provide distorted or meaningless performance data for their devices. You can trust the values stated for Lumatek products and verify them for yourself in growing practice.

ELECTRONIC BALLASTS

High-frequency digital ballasts with power regulation propelled the British brand Lumatek into the elite of its field in 2004. Thanks to them, it earned its outstanding reputation. Since then, more than one million units have been sold worldwide! Why?

They provide stable and precise voltage for the lamp.
Compared with other products, they deliver higher performance in terms of PAR/PPF values.
They are more energy-efficient than most other ballasts on the market.
Intelligent switching ensures flawless timing without hassle, while smooth dimming benefits the plants.
They generate much less heat than other conventional ballasts.
They operate very quietly.
Safety. They feature whole-circuit protection, including protection against interruption/short circuit, overheating, overvoltage/low voltage, end of lamp life/lamp rectification, EMI/EMC suppression, as well as CE certification.
The above, together with the outstanding quality of the materials and manufacturing processes used, also results in an exceptionally long 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), particularly its technology (HPS, MH, CMH, DE) and wattage. Another option is to purchase a complete set comprising ballast + discharge lamp + reflector. If you need help matching individual components, we will be happy to advise you on your selection.
