Eye Hortilux DE - Double Ended HPS, 1000W

Also available in a case of 6.

No other Double Ended HPS lamp on the market has gone through the rigorous design and life testing standards like the Eye Hortilux DE. Thousands of hours of testing this lamp ensures you are receiving a quality and reliable lamp which will operate with consistent performance on any electronic ballasts. Eye Hortilux DE lamps are the only DE lamps designed and manufactured in the USA.

Double Ended (DE) HPS grow lamps are typically used by commercial growers with large spaces and high ceilings. DE HPS grow lights produce higher intensities of light due to the design, construction and internal pressures of the arc tube (light generating source). The physical design and shape of the DE grow bulb provides a consistent positioning of the light source allowing reflector manufacturers to optimize the focus and footprint of light over the plant canopy.

The unique coiled support frame allows for expansion and contraction of the arc tube during operation. The Twin Coil Suspension (TCS) stabilizes the arc tube during operation (above). As the arc tube heats up it expands and as it cools down it contracts. The coil support frame allows for this expansion and contraction. All DE reflectors are designed to efficiently reflect the light produced by the lamp based on the arc tube being positioned in the center of the reflector. If the arc tube changes position inside the lamp, it will change the optics and efficiency of the reflector.

Patented lead wires provide a sturdy lamp for safer connection within the DE socket. Spot welding keeps the braided wire from fraying or coming apart. The butt welding seamlessly connects the braided wire to the lead wire, allowing for a safer, more reliable connection inside the DE socket.
