Digital Ballasts are the Grow Lights of Tomorrow
Indoor grow lights have been used by growers for years. And over the years the grow light technology has gotten better and better, producing lights that produce even more light energy than lights of the past, and many times while using a lower amount of energy. People have always used magnetic or mechanical ballasts until recently. This type of ballast was all that was available until the last few years when digital ballasts were introduced.
Digital ballasts have completely changed the game for indoor grow lights. They offer a higher lumen (light energy) output than their magnetic counterparts, and at the same time use less energy. This just shows you how our technology can really improve equipment in all areas of life. With great technology like digital ballasts being produced, you can see that the trend is more output with less energy use. This is what makes me think digital ballasts will soon replace all magnetic ballasts.
Here are some of the top reasons why digital ballasts will overtake magnetic ballasts as the indoor grow light of tomorrow:
-Digital ballasts do not have the typical transformers, capacitors, or igniters. These are some of the components that make mechanical ballasts so much bigger and louder than digital ballasts. -Digital ballasts use electronic circuitry to accomplish the same thing as these other components but more efficiently, quieter, and by using less energy.
-Digital ballasts give off less heat than magnetic ballasts
-Bulbs used with digital ballasts last longer and continue emitting a higher level of light energy than magnetic ballasts after a year of use
-You can use more digital ballasts on one circuit than magnetic
You never really know what technology will throw at you next. LED lights for example could very well start advancing at such a rate that they become the grow light of tomorrow. One thing is clear by the list above though, digital ballasts are certainly a more advanced option than magnetic ballasts.

Shine a Light $2.09 Martin Scorsese leaps into the madness of the Rolling Stones’ organization in Shine a Light, barely controlling (in a most entertaining way) a documentary that culminates in the Stones’ best concert on film. The movie’s highly entertaining, pre-performance prologue finds a frazzled Scorsese trying to get a clue about the band’s plans for a very special New York City date in 2006, a benefit hosted … |
