Gavita Pro 1000e D.E. Completa

The Gavita PRO 1000e D.E. consists of a ballast, reflector and lamp in a complete and compact package. Manufactured to horticultural standards, the ballast housing is sealed and contains a gore-tex® plug to ventilate the housing, protecting it from dust and moisture. Mounting is easy because the luminaire is balanced and only requires two hanging points.

The 'e' in 'e-series' stands for external control. These luminaires can be centrally controlled by a Gavita Master Controller. This replaces the often cumbersome installation with contactors and clocks, and adds safety features such as automatic dimming of your lights at high temperatures and even a safety lock.
We improved the electronics and changed the way the ballast is built, mounting the PCB and heating the components directly on the heat sinks instead of on a ballast holder. The much cooler electronics result in greater reliability and longer life.

The output of the ballast is controlled by the Gavita Master Controllers, or an external switch, allowing it to be set to 600, 750, 825, 1000W and 1150W output power. The Gavita Master Controller can centrally control several output devices in a range between 600 and 1150W output power.

By adjusting the power of your fixture the output power will change very gradually, protecting your lamp. It can take a minute per step, making this process so gradual that your eyes can barely see it.

Double Ended (400V) high voltage lamp technology results in better arc tube efficiency: more light for the same wattage (10-25% more than traditional single-ended lamps). These lamps are best suited for high frequency electronic ballasts, creating a stable arc without acoustic resonance, ensuring optimum output and long lamp life. The smaller arc tube and outer globe require the lamp to be filled with nitrogen rather than vacuum, which prohibits air cooling. Air cooling the lamp causes a lower lamp temperature, resulting in an optimal light output, up to 15% less than specified. Therefore these lamps are not suitable for direct air-cooled fixtures.

You can select the output power between 600 and 1150W, adjusting your light to changing circumstances or growth phases. Remember, however, that each new lamp needs to be turned on at 100% for at least 100 hours to stabilise before dimming or boosting. Failure to do so may result in start-up problems when a lower output power is selected and the output is decreased.

The HR96 reflector is made from a very high grade Miro aluminium that provides optimum light reflectance to your crop. This is the reflector of choice for vegetable growers worldwide to provide uniform light in an overlapping plan with great penetration to the plants from all sides.
