F.A.Q:
| Q: | Which grow lamps are recommended for use in the Phantom digital ballast? |
| A: | All lamp brands by Hydrofarm are approved for use in the Phantom digital ballasts. Sun Pulse lamps are the preferred lamp brand for use in the Phantoms. |
| Q: | I have a 1000W ballast, can I use a 400W or 600W bulb in it? |
| A: | No, 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. *This does not apply to some of the newer dimmable electronic/digital models* |
| 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 operation) 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 special type of bulb which allows an HPS ballast to operate a MH bulb or visa versa. *This does not apply to the Phantom digital models* |
