Maxibright Varidrive LED 1000W 3.0 with integrated ballast

Product detailed description

Maxibright Varidrive 1000W 3.0: divisible LED grow light with an efficiency of 3.0 µmol/J

Varidrive 1000W 3.0 is a full-spectrum LED grow light for growers who want maximum light output in a large space with the lowest possible operating costs. It delivers 3,000 µmol/s at an efficiency of 3.0 µmol/J and, like the smaller generation, can be operated as a single 1000 W unit or divided into two independent 500 W units. Each half has its own integrated driver, so no external ballast is required.

3.0 µmol/J efficiency for large spaces

The 3.0 µmol/J efficiency and PPF of 3,000 µmol/s place this version above the standard 1000 W generation – you get more usable light from every watt, meaning lower operating costs at the same power consumption. The full spectrum takes plants through the entire cycle from vegetative growth to flowering. Passive cooling keeps operation quiet and has no moving parts.

Divisible into 1 x 1000 W or 2 x 500 W

Use the grow light as a single 1000 W unit for an area of 1.2 x 2.4 to 1.8 x 1.8 m, or divide it into two separate 500 W units for two smaller spaces. Each half has its own driver and operates independently, so you can easily expand the modular setup as requirements grow. Adjust the output with the integrated dimmer from 25–100% and use the RJ port to connect an external controller. You can find the entire range in the Varidrive section.

Frequently asked questions

How does the division into 2 x 500 W work?

The grow light consists of two 500 W halves, each with its own integrated driver. You can use them joined together as a single 1000 W unit for a large area, or divide them and use each one separately in two smaller spaces. No external ballast is required, and the setup can later be expanded with additional units.

How does the 3.0 version differ from the standard 1000 W Varidrive?

The 3.0 version achieves an efficiency of 3.0 µmol/J and a light output of 3,000 µmol/s, so it produces more light from every watt than the standard 1000 W generation. Both share the divisible 1 x 1000 W or 2 x 500 W design and an integrated driver in each half. The main difference is therefore the higher efficiency and higher PPF of the 3.0 version.

Does the grow light require an external ballast?

No. Each 500 W half has its own integrated driver, so the grow light connects directly without a separate ballast. Adjust the output with the integrated 25–100% dimmer, and connect an external controller via the RJ port for central control of the entire Varidrive range.
