HPS Ballasts
Marijuana Horticulture
by Jorge Cervantes
A special ballasts is specifically required for each wattage of HP sodium lamp. Each wattage lamp has unique operating wattages and currents during start-up and operation. These voltages and currents do not correspond to similar wattages of other HID lamps. Sodium ballasts contain a transformer that is larger than that of a metal halide, a capacitor, and an igniter or starter. Purchase complete HID systems rather than a component kit.
