What the ballast is compatible with

The ballast forms a pair with the Maxibright Varidrive 720 W LED light, which cannot operate without it – it powers the light and simultaneously sets its output. The 250, 400, 600 W and Boost levels allow you to adjust the light to the growth phase. Its HPS compatibility makes it a universal digital ballast for sodium vapour lamps in the same power class.

Frequently asked questions

Which light sources is the ballast compatible with?

The ballast powers the Maxibright Varidrive 720 W LED light and is also compatible with HPS (sodium vapour) lamps. It is not compatible with MH (metal halide) lamps. It comes complete with cabling and features short-circuit protection, so you can connect it directly to the system.

What do the 250, 400, 600 W and Boost levels mean?

These are the four power levels used by the ballast to dim the connected light. The lower 250 and 400 W levels are useful for young plants and saving energy, while 600 W and Boost are intended for periods when plants need full power. You switch the output directly on the ballast.
