Ballasts for indoor
To regulate the electrical current in your indoor grow, get an electronic ballast or a magnetic ballast! These will ensure a constant flow of electricity, so as not to damage your lighting system. You'll find a variety of models to suit different wattages and bulb types.
Ballasts for Grow Rooms at the best price
Our catalog includes a wide range of electronic ballasts and magnetic ballasts that you can choose based on their power to match your lighting system, as well as their compatibility with different types of bulbs (HPS, LED, CMH, MH, etc.). Our ballasts for indoor cannabis cultivation are of unbeatable quality and are sold at the best prices on the market. Use a dimmable ballast in your indoor cannabis grow room to adjust the lighting power according to the development stage of your plants: 75% in the growth stage, 100% in flowering, and 110% in the last few weeks.
What is a Ballast?
A ballast is a device that is installed in an electrical circuit to control and limit the current flow. In the case of a lighting system, it provides enough energy to turn on the bulb with a voltage spike, then allows a constant electrical current to flow. You could compare it to an electric resistor. Some of the ballasts on our website are dimmable, allowing you to control the light in your grow room without having to change the bulb.
What’s the purpose of a ballast?
In indoor cannabis cultivation, ballasts prevent damage to the lighting system. Some ballasts also allow you to adjust the light intensity without changing the bulb. For plants, the ballast ensures a constant electrical current, and therefore a steady light, which is optimal for their development.
How to install a ballast?
To install a ballast, first make sure to turn off the power. Then, connect the ballast’s wires to the electrical system as indicated by the device’s manual or the product page on our website. Turn the power back on to check that everything is working properly, and start using your ballast.
Electronic or magnetic ballast: what’s the difference?
There are two main types of ballasts: electronic vs. magnetic ballasts. Magnetic ballasts are cheaper. However, they are noisier, produce more heat, and may flicker, which can be annoying for plants and damage the bulbs. Electronic ballasts, on the other hand, are more modern and efficient, which naturally makes them more expensive.
Electronic ballast
The electronic ballast, also known as a digital ballast or electronic transformer, is a bit more expensive than magnetic ballasts, but it quickly pays for itself by helping reduce your electricity bills. You can find affordable options on this page. Check out the following digital transformer, for example:

This ballast from GB Lighting is perfect for beginner indoor growers. It allows you to regulate the power to 250 W, 400 W, 600 W, and 670 W. Additionally, it features a Plug & Play cable and is made of lightweight and durable materials.
Magnetic ballast
In the past, the magnetic ballast or ferromagnetic ballast was commonly used for fluorescent lamps. These devices have a simple operation and are generally durable. If you’re on a tight budget for your ballast purchase, magnetic ballasts can be a great option.

Ballast for LED, HPS, MH: choosing the right ballast for your lighting system
To choose the right ballast, make sure it is compatible with your lighting system. Check the product page to ensure that the ballast you want to purchase is suitable for your setup: some ballasts only work with certain types of bulbs. Whether you need a ballast for LED, HPS, MH, or LEC, we’ve got it all at GB. Lastly, pay attention to the power rating of the ballast, which must match the bulb’s power rating.
Ballast for CMH
CMH ballasts are compatible with LEC systems (CMH = LEC), providing them with the power they need for their specific light spectrum that includes a mix of red and blue light. This ensures you’ll achieve the best possible yields by maximizing your LEC lighting system’s efficiency. Check out this CMH ballast:
