Maxibright Varidrive LED 1000W with integrated ballast

Product detailed description

Maxibright Varidrive 1000W: divisible LED for a large area

Varidrive 1000W is a full-spectrum grow LED light for growers who need to illuminate a large area of 1.5x1.5 to 1.8x1.8 m or want to use one light to cover two smaller tents. It delivers 2700 µmol/s at an efficiency of 2.7 µmol/J, each half has its own integrated ballast and the chips are supplied by Osram and LUMLED. You do not need an external ballast.

Two lights in one: 1x1000W or 2x500W

The main advantage is divisibility. You can use the light either as one 1000W unit for an area of 1.5x1.5 to 1.8x1.8 m, or split it into two independent 500W units, each for an area of around 1.2x1.2 m. This allows you to light two tents at the same time or illuminate plants at different stages of development. Each half has its own integrated driver, so both work independently and without an external ballast.

Osram and LUMLED chips, full spectrum

The Osram and LUMLED diodes deliver 2.7 µmol/J and a full spectrum that guides plants from germination through vegetative growth to flower and fruit formation. Passive cooling keeps operation quiet and free of moving parts. IP40 protection shields the electronics in a normal growing area.

Dimming and control via RJ ports

You can regulate the output with the integrated dimmer in steps of 250, 500, 750 and 1000 W - with young plants you reduce it and save energy, in flower you run it at full power. RJ ports allow you to connect multiple units and control them centrally. A suitable controller is Maxibright Universal Lighting Controller 0-10V for the entire Varidrive range.

1000W 2.7, or more powerful siblings

Varidrive 1000W with an efficiency of 2.7 µmol/J is a flexible choice for a large area thanks to division into 2x500W. Those who want lower power for one tent can choose the sibling Varidrive 3.0 720W with an efficiency of 3.0 µmol/J. You can find the whole range in the Varidrive section.

Frequently asked questions

How does the division into 2x500W work?

The light consists of two 500W halves, each with its own integrated driver and power supply. You can use them together as one 1000W unit for a large area, or split them and use each separately in two smaller tents of around 1.2x1.2 m. You do not need any external ballast for this.

What chips does Varidrive 1000W use?

The diodes are supplied by Osram and LUMLED. Combined with the full spectrum and efficiency of 2.7 µmol/J, they provide stable light output for the entire growing cycle - from seedling to flower. IP40 protection shields the electronics in a normal growing area.

What area is 1000W enough for?

As a combined 1000W unit, the light covers an area of 1.5x1.5 to 1.8x1.8 m. After splitting, each 500W unit covers an area of around 1.2x1.2 m. You can regulate the output with the dimmer in four steps, so you can adapt the light to the growth stage and the size of the space.
