Photoperiod Control
An oscillating parabolic reflector with a high-intensity sodium lamp flicks beams of light from one end of the greenhouse to the other, providing intermittent light across the entire crop.
- A highly efficient, cost-saving oscillating light source.
- Covers up to 30' x 90' depending on lighting requirements.
- Delivers enough light througout a greenhouse to either prevent or promote bud dormancy.
- Saves up to 80% in energy costs vs. traditional lighting.
- Lasts up to 20 times longer than traditional incandescent lighting.
- Lightweight and easy to install.
- Microprocessor controlled electronic ballast gains up to 25% efficiency over magnetic bulbs.
- US Patent # 5095414

The core of the Beamflicker e-System, the e-Ballast is also available in a stand-alone remote configuration,
which can save on installation costs and minimize weight in some circumstances.
- Up to 12% brighter than than magnetic ballasts
- Uses up to 7% less energy than magnetic ballast
- Automatically handles Halide or Sodium Bulbs
- 2-Year Warranty
Size: 20"L x 12"W x 10"L
Weight: 9.5 lbs.
Why Use an e-Ballast? (excerpt from an article by Garth Carr)
First, efficiency. The microprocessor constantly monitors the input and output, making sure no excess energy is used. This is much like how your car’s computer constantly monitors all your engine’s functions to make sure excess fuel is not used.
Second, versatility. With the digital electronic ballast you can run either a sodium or halide bulb automatically. The microprocessor automatically reads the type of bulb and powers it correctly.
Third, weight. The electronic ballast is light weight, with 1000 watt e-ballast weighting less than 12 lbs compared to 45 lbs for a 1000 watt coil and core ballast. This makes it easier to install and maintain, and less expensive to ship.
