The ALL NEW Powerbox™ FLIPBOX™ allows any ballast to run 2 lights (non-simultaneously). The Powerbox™ FLIPBOX™ works with magnetic and new digital ballasts and allows you to expand, without the need for bringing in additional power circuits. Simply plug the Powerbox™ FLIPBOX™ into your ballast and you can plug 2 lamps into the FLIPBOX ™. A trigger cord controls the 'Flip.' Each FLIPBOX™ has a 120V slave outlet, so you can daisy-chain multiple FLIPBOX ™ trigger cords to each other and use as many FLIPBOXES ™ as you have ballasts, all triggered by one timer. Compatible with 120V and 240V ballasts. Includes 6' patch cord (Flipbox to Ballast) and 6' 120V trigger cord. The Powerbox™ FLIPBOX™ is the BEST FLIPBOX™ on the market and has many advantages over other flip boxes. First, it REALLY WORKS and has a 5-year warranty. Second, we make our FLIPBOXES™ in individual modules so you get extended distance for placing your lights; all of your cords are not tied to a single panel. Third, in the event of a component failure, you can quickly swap-out one module and you are back at full capacity. With large, multi-ballast panels, if there is a component failure, you have to take the entire panel system down while you arrange a replacement.

WARNING: CERTAIN ELECTRONIC AND DIGITAL BALLASTS THAT CONTAIN ‘ERROR SENSING’ TECHNOLOGY MAY NOT
PERFORM WELL WITH FLIPBOXES®. ERROR SENSING TECHNOLOGY IS MEANT TO SHUT THE BALLAST OFF IN THE CASE
OF A BULB MALFUNCTION. WHEN THE FLIPBOX® SWITCHES BETWEEN LAMPS, THESE BALLASTS SOMETIMES MISTAKE
THE FLIP FOR A BULB ERROR AND THE BALLAST SHUTS DOWN. BALLASTS WITH ERROR SENSING TECHNOLOGY,
INCLUDING LUMATEK AND NEXTGEN, MAY PERFORM SPORADICALLY. WHEN USING BALLASTS BY THESE
MANUFACTURERS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TURN THE BALLAST OFF 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE FLIP AND TURN
THE BALLAST BACK ON 5 MINUTES AFTER THE FLIP.
POWERBOX™ RECOMMENDS QUANTUM DIGITAL BALLASTS FOR PERFECT SWITCHING UNDER ALL
CIRCUMSTANCES.

Here is a handy thought for some growers who, as Summer is approaching, are worried about high temperatures. If you are running multiple lights (3 or more), you can use a Flip Box to flip the 2 end lights on and off so only 1 light is on at a time (creating less heat). Then every 2 hours or so, it can flip the other light on and turn the current light off. This will simulate a light mover in effect( in terms of increased coverage) but effectively allow less heat and no spikes in electricity because the ballast will be on the whole time.
