Original Flipbox®
*All Powerbox listings can have a handling time of up to 5 business days though some shipments ship same day. This item may ship directly from Powerbox.
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
With an Original Flipbox from Powerbox, you can run two lights per ballast, and double your harvests. Here’s how it works: A typical flowering light runs for 12 hours. When the light goes off, the ballast sits idle for 12 hours until the next cycle starts. By adding a Flipbox to the equation, when the first cycle ends, the ballast keeps running and switches to another light in a second bloom room. Flipboxes allow you to save money on ballasts, double production, increase yields, and avoid wiring additional power circuits to run more ballasts.

Flipboxes have many features and benefits – Here are a few:
Use Flipboxes to DOUBLE PRODUCTION by completing TWO 12-hour flowering cycles in each 24-hour day. Now you can run twice the number of lights per ballast to literally double your harvest output – and you can do this without the expense of bringing in additional power circuits to run more ballasts!
Use Flipboxes to CUT EQUIPMENT COSTS BY HALF. Since a Flipbox allows a ballast to run two lights, you only need to purchase half the number of ballasts. Compared to the price of a new digital ballast, a Flipbox is up to 70% LESS EXPENSIVE. And when you factor in not having to install more power circuits to run additional ballasts, the savings really add up!
Use Flipboxes to INCREASE YIELD. By hanging two lights per ballast in a single garden, and then switching back and forth between lights periodically, the garden gets more even lighting coverage, and there are no hot spots. By alternating lights every hour, you can cover all of the spots in your entire garden - and you can hang the lights closer to the plants. These techniques increase yields substantially.
Use Flipboxes to AVOID ELECTRICAL USAGE PROFILES. Some modern electrical ‘smart meters’ are able to profile electrical consumption habits and charge different rates based on those habits. By using Flipboxes, you avoid a 12-hour on, 12-hour off usage footprint, and you instead have a smooth electrical profile where power is flowing continuously.
