MicroMole 1000w Digital Dimmable Ballast 120/240v - DISCONTINUED

This product has been discontinued and replaced by the Gavita Digistar Electronic 1000w Ballast, which is made to the same specifications in the same factory. Lumens are for Humans… It’s all about the Micromole. The standard measurements of light output have traditionally been done in foot-candles, lumens, or lux. They only quantify how humans experience the brightness of light. Plants however use a much wider spectrum of colors for photosynthesis called the PAR spectrum (Photo-synthetically Active Radiation). Photosynthesis is not driven by the brightness of light, but purely by the number of photons hitting your favorite crops. This is measured in Micromoles. Research and development for the Humboldt Micromole electronic ballast was done to maximize PAR light. With Dimmable features, the SuperMole setting will send your Micromole reading off the charts. The ballast is UL approved! * If you intend to run your ballast on the Super Mole setting, we recommend that you fire/start the bulb at 1000 watts, then after a 15 minute warm up, switch over to the Super Mole setting. This gives your ballast and bulb time to warm up before being over driven so that we can ensure longevity with you MicroMole ballast and bulb.* Features: Micro Processor Controlled Fully Adjustable Mulit-Wattage 600/750/1000 watt (you can strike a 600,750, 1000 watt bulb) 120/240v 10% Increase on the 600 watt, 15% Increased light on the 1000 watt Soft Start (Better for your Bulbs) Soft Dim (60 seconds between positions) High Frequency (100 kHz+!) Extremely low power factor (Sealed circuitry and housing Generator compatible Coolest running digital ballast No hassle 3 year warranty UL Approved/Certified Research has demonstrated that photosynthesis, (the biochemical process that supplies plants with energy) is much better predicted by measuring radiation in photons, as opposed to Lumen measurements. The quantum light meter emerged as a tool to do just that, it measures the quantity of photons s
