3 BEST DE HPS GROW LIGHTS 2020
Things to consider when buying double ended grow lights
Light coverage
Pick a DE grow light that covers the plants that you want. The area the light covers is usually determined by the size and design of your reflector. Some reflectors are like umbrellas and cover a wider area while others are limited to provide an intense and focused light down on to your grow plants.
However, reflectors that focus on a single area are dangerous as they can have a hot spot which might end up destroying your plant(s).
Type of bulb
It is a good idea to select a double ended grow light that is compatible with both HPS and MH lamps. But if you’ve to narrow down to one of the bulbs, then you’re better of picking a DE grow light that is compatible with HPS bulbs.
Ballast
There are usually two types of ballasts and they are magnetic and electronic or digital ballasts. Pick high-frequency digital ballasts which are particularly designed for double ended grow lights. They run cooler and are more efficient than magnetic ballasts.
Digital ballasts not only run at the required frequency but they as well as provide up to 6 different output wattage elections to get the most out of DE lights that operate between 600W and 1200W.
Cooling
Since the bulbs tend to generate a lot of heat, you need to choose a unit that has goo cooling features. This will allow the DE grow light to work optimally during the entire operation.
Price
Buying a full double ended grow light kit is way cheaper than buying separate parts. So, if you’re a beginner and don’t know what parts to buy, then you’re better off with buying a complete kit.
Warranty
This is a huge investment and you shouldn’t take unnecessary risks like buying without warranty. Most of the top brands offer warranty of at least 2-years or more. Also, consider buying your double ended lamp from a re-known manufacturer with a track record.
Gavita Pro 1000 DE HPS/MH Complete Fixture
The Gavita Pro 1000 DE Complete Fixture includes both a double-ended reflector with bulb and a 1000w electronic ballast in one package. Gavita ballasts run at cooler temperatures than the competition and are made with the highest quality components. The ballast is the first to power the professional Philips GreenPower 1000W EL double-ended bulb. This type of bulb is connected to the reflector at both ends, eliminating the need for a frame wire inside the lamp. Without this wire, there is no corresponding shadow, meaning the light is brighter and more effective. These lamps have the highest light output, an improved spectrum and produce the best light maintenance of any other light bulb. The reflector itself is made from high-quality MIRO aluminum and works with 96% reflective efficiency. There are no moving parts within the housings, so maintenance is simple and easy.

Mounting is easy because the fixture is balanced and only requires two hanging points. For c-profile installations we have convenient brackets available.
Eye Hortilux SE 600W Grow Light System Ceramic HPS
Nanolux DE Dual fixture (600Wx2) provides a very comprehensive PAR spectrum while pumping out 1200W of the most powerful light. Use any combination of DE lamps to create the spectrum the plants desire!
Nanolux DE Dual fixture (600Wx2) is commercial grade in its design quality and durability. Nanolux DE Dual fixture (600Wx2) is NCCS ready.

Grower’s Tip:
When using multiple light setups for a commercial operation, make sure each fixture has the same type of lamp in each side. For example, all of the lamps on the right side should be of one type, and all of the lamps on the left should be identical in order to maintain a consistent spectral output.

The SE 600 grow light system is designed to maximize the performance of 600 watt EYE HORTILUX grow lamps. This system focuses 20% more of the light to the target area than our nearest competitor to enhance the performance of the lamp and maximize plant quality and yield. The SE 600 reflector was designed around 600W lamps to create a consistent and uniform distribution of light.
Hortilux SE Ceramic HPS 600w Grow Light is a 600 watt lamp and they built a specialty fixture and ballast to go along with it. You can buy this lamp separately, but it is recommended that you buy it with the fixture because the fixture was specially designed; Not only the reflector but in particular the ballast to effectively run this lamp to its optimal performance.
So one of the most interesting things about this is Ceramic Metal Halide has been taking off, I mean we probably sell more ceramic metal halide fixtures than any other fixture, LED, HPS, or anything. So at this point, a lot of people are just having issues taking those 315 watt lamps and penetrating through the canopy as far as they might want to go, as they are used to, with maybe a 1000 watt double ended or 600 watt normal HPS and this helps combat that.
The Hortilux SE Ceramic HPS 600w Grow Light gives you that amazing spectrum that ceramics give you along with the intensity of the high pressure sodium 600 watt. So what I want do is turn it on and kind of show you guys the spectrum and what to expect out of this thing because it’s able to actually put out a much wider spectrum than a normal 600 watt HPS lamp and it encompasses a lot of the reds and it looks almost white to the eye, but you also still get a lot of blues in it.
I mean you can end up using this lamp all the way through your growing operation from veg through flower, although it is a 2500K lamp which for those of you who know the Kelvin scale and spectrum color it is more of a flowering lamp. I want to show you what the spectrum looks like as we turn this thing on and compare it to what a traditional HPS would look like and your gonna see the huge difference on that spectral graph. So let’s take this lamp, throw it in the fixture and take a look at those spectral readings.
When looking at lumen output of the 600 watt ceramic HPS versus a traditional 600 watt HPS you will notice a dramatic difference. The lumen difference between the two lamps is very misleading because the majority of the light energy produced by a traditional 600 watt HPS is focused in the area of the spectrum that is most sensitive to human eyesight. The 600 watt ceramic HPS rather produces the same amount of total overall light energy as the traditional 600 watt HPS, but it is spread over a broader range of the spectrum that does not get measured by a lumen meter. The actual total amount of energy, Total Radiant Energy, measured between 350 to 800 nanometers produced by the ceramic HPS is slightly higher than traditional HPS at 275 watts for the ceramic HPS versus 261 watts for the traditional HPS.
