Hey guys/gals my Dimmable 1k Lumatek keeps popping the fuse on startup. If disconnecting it before reset doesn't solve the problem I'll be looking for a replacement... Any thoughts on which manufacturer would be best? I've run this luma for 7 years with no issues on 120v. I know that's a lot of amps for 120 so I'm guessing it finally pooched it lol.

I still run lumateks but my last light purchase my store longer carried lumateks as they said they are out of business. I now run this one here. It smaller and compact and doesn't get as hot as the lumateks did. It also has a built in fan. They are called nanolux.image.jpeg

Thx buddy! My light fired up after a power outage just now on 600w, just turned upto 1K just waiting to see if it pops later on. My Lumatek didn't start getting hot until this year..7 years is ok by me on a mid range ballast if it is fucked. It's paid for itself 100X by now. Was eyeing the nanolux, solisteks and galaxy brands just trying to get real feedback from my peeps on here first.

Wanna know something funny. If you look closely at ballasts. The only thing special about them is the label. They're all made in China and Japan. Japan being the better ones. So then these companies. Lumitek. Nanolux. Solis-tek and others all made in same factories. These places buy them slap a label on and a fancy box. Then charge a lot extra. I didn't believe it at first till I seen for myself. Most all of them do it though

they're good came from China like all others. I just think it's funny when. When you see the same thing for a fraction of the price with out the label. Lol you can even have them put the labels on before they're ship em.

had the same problem... your shit is about to go out soon....
great ballast... mine was good while it lasted...
when i opened it up... it was toasted inside... beyond repair...
almost got another lumatek, was impressed with the other one... but also heard out of business...
my buddy tried to push me hard on some nanolux, "he swears by them" but couldnt pull the trigger... worried "HEAVILY" about the RF interference...
just spend the extra $ and get a phantom... try gettin 240v... runs alot cooler....
