Omega Pro-V Mechanical Ballast

Steady, correctly regulated power for your HID lamp

The Omega Pro-V Mechanical Ballast is a traditional wire-wound (magnetic) ballast built to drive HPS and metal halide lamps, delivering the regulated current an HID bulb needs to hold full output over a grow. Underpowered or poorly wound ballasts are a common cause of dim, flickering light and shortened bulb life, so a quality-wound unit that supplies genuine rated wattage keeps a lamp performing consistently from first strike to end of cycle.

Dim output and short lamp life from a weak ballast

A cheap or failing ballast runs a bulb below its stated wattage, so the lamp puts out less PPFD than it should and ages faster, while poor windings buzz and flicker. This unit's quality internals give the lamp its true rated wattage, protecting both light intensity and lamp lifespan.

Key Benefits

• True rated wattage from quality windings, rather than a lamp quietly running under output
• Runs HPS and MH lamps for both flowering and vegetative spectrums
• Sealed, vented housing that protects the internals while managing heat
• Quiet running next to cheaper, poorly wound alternatives
• Wall-mountable with the power lead included for a simple install

How to Use

• Mount to a wall or shelf away from water, using the fixing points on the casing
• Connect the reflector lamp cable and the mains lead, then fit a wattage-matched HPS or MH bulb
• Always match ballast wattage to the lamp to avoid under- or over-driving it
• Let the housing vent freely and keep it clear of standing water and high humidity
