I looked long and hard all over the internet for WEEKS before I stumbled on this little gem. I had a Sun System 1,000 watt grow light that had a an older magnetic ballast from 12 years ago actually and I really had a difficult time controlling the heat in my grow room -- a DIRECT result of the combination of the heat generated by the ballast and its unchangeable wattage. There were many times that I wanted to reduce the watts, but most of all - the HEAT generated by the ballast AND the bulb. The heat generated can get up to 95 degrees or more in a very short time in smaller areas -- that could be a DISASTER in a small grow space, this in turn brings new problems that you really want to stay away from. With this new iPower digital, dimmable ballast, I have solved the most difficult part of my grow equation. I virtually ELIMINATED the heat generated by the ballast itself, you can easily touch any part of the ballast and it runs quite cool -- even on the 1,000w setting! It even has its own little cooling fan built right in, and it makes very little sound. The dimmable option is what REALLY makes this item super versatile, I have mine set up so that just before it goes out I lower the wattage to 500watts so that when my lights first kick on in the morning they are not hit with HIDs at FULL force -- your plants will LOVE this option. After a couple of hours I kick it up to 750watts and in a couple more I hit 'em with all 1,000watts -- just like in the real ideal day...then I back them down slowly in the afternoon to 500watts when they shut down with the timer. Together with the new Metal Halide I picked up from desertcart, my old system is now state of the art...MH for the vegetative growth and your HPS for the flowering cycle....reduced heat signature in your grow room, less internodal stretch and a much greater YIELD in the finished product are just a FEW of the tangible things you should see in YOUR grow setup! The new ballast plugged right into my 12 year old Sun System with NO modifications or adapters necessary. I am 110% satisfied with my purchase and would definately put this on my wish list for Xmas if you don't have one of these beauties yet. By the way, the time from ordering to receipt was only a week, also very good, and arrived in perfect condition. Very, very satisfied. Review: I have a bit of a learning curve with systems and these systems are fine. I actually like their bulbs a great deal - Purchased a few of these ballasts(1000s and 600s) six months ago, and iPower bulbs. They're ALL still running properly and I've had absolutely NO issues. I've run ballasts from all kinds of manufacturers(magnetic and digital) for over 17 yrs. I have a bit of a learning curve with systems and these systems are fine. I actually like their bulbs a great deal, and I've spent plenty of money on Hortilux hy-brid bulbs. Had never heard of iPower before, but won't be paying 2-3 times the price for a comparable system again. ## Features - Operating voltage range: 100V~265V with 120V working voltage; dimmable options: 50%, 75%, 100%.

Rodhound** A: You use alot less power.I have a 1000, 600, 400 and my bill went up only 50$ a month versis old school ballast it would b 150$ more a month **Q: Are these low RFI?** A: Nope, it will interfere with Cable lines within 40ft of it. At least it did for me. If RFI is a concern get a shielded unit, not this one. **Q: Is the cord that comes with this ballast a 240 volt? If not do you sell the 240 Volt cord?** A: I want 10 Balast So no you can’t use 240 V **Q: i have the ipower 400 watt converatble reflector and bulb socket, will the 1000 watt ballast easily convert to the 400 set up for an easy conversion** A: if it's digital it should automatically recognize the type of bulb it is trying to power and adjust itself accordingly so you shouldn't have to do anything. However, I don't trust iPower, so there could be issues. I suggest you try to contact iPower to see if they can answer your question better than me before you attach a 1000w ballast to your 400 watt socket. You don't want to overpower and short circuit your equipment. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WORTH EVERY DOLLAR... *by D***Y on May 18, 2012* WORTH EVERY DOLLAR I PAID FOR IT!!

OR NOT. *by T***Y on December 7, 2020* I bought this ballast and had read a lot of reviews that were yelling FIRE. This electronic ballast is just like any other. If you run this ballast on 110v it will get hot. The cord will get hot and after time melt. You need to watch this. If you run the ballast on 220v you will find that it is almost cold even the cord. The reason for this is the amount of amps on the wire. 110v 1 wire 220v 2 wires. 220 draws half the amps down each wire rather than all down 1. It works half as hard. I do not recommend running any ballast on 110 if you do run a #10 wire and use a 25amp breaker. If you have never ran a ballast like this on 220v and seen how cool it runs you are in for a surprise. This is why I think you don't get a good response from the company because they know it is up to you to make sure the correct supply voltage and amps are available. How could they know what you have in your home? I think most say they draw 8.6 amps or so. That computer plug you are using I think is rated at 7amps or less. So on 110 you draw 8.6 amps down one wire that small and it will fail. 220 you draw 4.3 amps per wire. I am not saying they supply the correct size cord here just the facts about 110 220 and why they get so hot. Just my opinion.. No I don't work for any ballast company. ## Frequently Bought Together - iPower GLBLST1000D Horticulture 1000 Watt Digital Dimmable Electronic Ballast for Hydroponics HPS MH Grow Light, Black - Hortilux Eye HX66785 1000-Watt Super HPS Spectrum Grow Bulb, 1-Pack, Red - Eye Hortilux Eyehortilux Super HPS Enhanced Spectrum Bulb 1000-Watt, 2-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4048002-ipower-glblst1000d-horticulture-1000-watt-digital-dimmable-electronic-ballast-hydroponics](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4048002-ipower-glblst1000d-horticulture-1000-watt-digital-dimmable-electronic-ballast-hydroponics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
