hiroshi_87 Reviewed by hiroshi_87 on 11-02-2007. digital ballasts? advantages? i just bought a 600w HPS "digitally ballasted" light. Unlike other HPS lights ive seen, the ballast is about 30x10x15cm and is connected directly to the light so its all one unit. does anybody know the advantages that these lights have over....not digitally ballasted lights? :hippy: Rating: 5

digital ballasts have a much softer start up than the traditional magnetic ballasts.

you can also have your digital ballast much further away from your lamp than you could with a traditional ballast.

my didgital ballast(venture) runs luke warm and no need to point any airflow towards it or does it have any fans inside.early trial of digi ballasts with internal fans had high failure rate.

digi ballasts are non serviceable products unlike magnetic ballasts.
