Dimlux Expert Series MK-II 1000/1250W DE/EL, California Spec complete fixture

Product detailed description

Dimlux Expert Series 1000/1250 W MKII DE EL UHF DXO California Spec is the world's first complete HPS fixture to meet California Energy Code 2022/2023, which requires a minimum photosynthetic photon efficacy (PPE) of 2.1 µmol/J. It includes the new Dimlux Xtreme Output (DXO) CaliSpec HPS 400 V 1000/1250 W DE discharge lamp with 95% PAR output retention after 10,000 hours of operation. The MKII ballast is 30% more compact and lighter than the previous Expert Series generation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the overdrive / Boost function?

The ballast enables the discharge lamp to operate at up to 1250 W (Boost), with power consumption increasing to 1290 W. The DXO CaliSpec discharge lamp is the only one on the market specifically designed for dimming and Boost without loss of PAR output.

Can the reflector be replaced?

Yes, the standard Ultra Optics Hybrid 98 can easily be exchanged for the Ultra Optics Wide 98 or Ultra Optics Deep 98 – all three have 98% efficiency.
