Q: Can the Phantom digital ballast operate different wattage lamps using the dimmability feature?
A: No, the Phantom dimmable feature is not made to allow different operation of multiple wattages. A 1000w ballast should only operate 1000w lamps, 600w models with 600w lamps, etc.
Q: Which lamps are recommended for use in the Phantom digital ballasts?
A: Most lamp brands distributed by Hydrofarm are approved for use in the Phantom digital ballasts. Sun Pulse and Plantmax lamps are the preferred lamp brands for use in the Phantoms. NOTE: Many "blue", "super blue", or dual arc tube bulbs will work intermittently with Phantoms. Try to avoid using these bulbs with our digital ballasts.
Q: Why is my Hortilux bulb not working with my Phantom ballast?
A: Hortilux Blue Daylight Metal Halide bulbs are not compatible with Phantom digital ballasts. A magnetic ballast is recommended for these. If you have problems with other Metal Halide bulbs and our digital ballasts, try using a MH conversion bulb.
Q: If I cannot use item TM01240 with my Phantom at 240V, what timer can I use?
A: Use item TMHDT104, or one of our 240V-compatible lighting controllers, such as APCL4240.
Q: Are my ballasts Generator-Ready?
A: All of the ballasts we sell are generator-ready, except for the UltraGrow E-ballasts. They are not recommended for use with a generator. Generator Ready ballasts include: Xtrasun Ballasts, Phantom Ballasts, Nano Ballasts Super Grow Ballasts
Q: I have a 1000W ballast, can I use a 400W or 600W bulb in it?
A: As a general rule, ballasts can only be used with bulbs that are of the same wattage rating. A 1000W ballast can only be used with a 1000W bulb, a 400W with a 400W, etc.
Q: Can an HPS ballast be used to power a metal halide bulb?
A: This is never recommended, the ballast and bulb type (wattage and HID bulb type) must match. Convertible ballasts, however, can be switched between MH and HPS modes. There is also the option of using a conversion bulb. This is a bulb that is designed to produce a MH spectrum on a HPS ballasts, or vice versa. Phantom digital ballasts can ignite HPS or MH bulbs, except for the 750W model, which is meant only for HPS.
