Omega Black 600w Digital Ballast – 4-Setting Dimmable HPS Ballast with Soft Start Technology

The Omega Black 600w Digital Ballast delivers precise, efficient power to your HPS or Metal Halide lamp — with four dimmable output settings and soft start technology built in. Whether you’re dialling back power during early growth stages or pushing to super lumen for maximum light intensity, this ballast gives you full control without the noise, flicker, or inefficiency of magnetic alternatives.

Four-Setting Dimming Control

Choose from 250w, 400w, 600w, or the super lumen setting at 660w — a 10% boost that delivers maximum light output during the later stages of the plant development cycle. All settings are selectable via a single control dial.

Soft Start Technology

Integrated soft start technology ignites lamps gradually, eliminating flicker and protecting lamp lifespan. When multiple units are connected to the same mains circuit, the built-in Ignition Control software staggers lamp ignition one at a time — preventing electrical surges and protecting your circuit breakers.

Highest PAR Output

Specially calibrated for maximum PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) output — measuring how much usable light energy actually reaches your plants. More PAR means more efficient use of every watt.
