Four 1000w ballasts & built-in lighting controller and flip, all in one box
I got Greg’s first 1K4 prototype just check it out.
It worked so well I bought four more of them! Great ballast, great company. — Ian H, Ontario, Canada
1K4
$1195
Why buy four ballasts, a lighting controller and a flip box when the 1K4 does it all in one box for HALF the price?
Four individually dimmable channels — 400 / 600 / 1000 Watts
Built-in lighting controller with 120/240 volt trigge
Built-in flip box — run 8 lights, 4 at a time!
Connects to a single 30 amp 240 volt breaker
Lights Metal Halide or HPS lamps
All digital
Low RF noise
Eight standard plugs, your lights will plug right in
Easy to wire, solid machined-brass fittings — no consumer electronic junk
Stealth Startup
This feature lights up each channel a random 1 seconds to 90 seconds after the last channel to keep the power company’s new digital meters from identifying the load as a room full of grow lights. Top growers asked for this feature, and we built it. Exclusively from PurGro.
Technical Specs
At 92% efficiency and a crest factor of < 1.7, this is one sweet ballast. Strike voltage is well over 3000 volts to light the longest cables and the oldest lamps. Total Harmonic Distortion is less than 10% for low RF noise and minimal acoustic signature, and Power Factor is actively corrected to greater than 0.99 for maximum efficiency in power conversion. This is as good as a ballast gets! Built from scratch by PurGro, by growers for growers.
Everyone asked for the flip version, so we made it standard! Built-in controller, built-in flip and four 1000 Watt dimmable channels. Field repairable, too. Your PurGro dealer can fix these ballasts right in the store with a simple Field Repair kit from PurGro. Try THAT with anyone's else's digital ballast. Solid equipment, great price, and you can actually fix it yourself.

5/5
I bought this mainly because of it’s feature to turn lights on one at a time so that PG&E wouldn’t see I had multiple lamps all in the same room. It’s also very unique in style, haven’t had a problem with it for the year that I’ve had it but apparently it’s the only digital ballast that’s repairable. Able to plug in 8 outlets! I drilled mine to the wall, just looks like some normal electrical switch. Makes close to no noise, very happy with my purchase decision :]
