Are Gavita lights HPS?
HPS lamps are the standard in the market. The lamps used by Gavita are characterized by their high level of efficiency and long light retention. A major benefit of HPS lamps is the heat radiated directly onto the crop, as this encourages growth, and depending on the crop, the formation of buds and fruit.
How long do Gavita ballast last?
3000-4000 hours (CDM) 2000 – 3000 hours (MH) 30,000 (Gavita LEP)
How long do de bulbs last?
DE lamps can operate for many, many years but their effective growing window is 12 months when using a 12-on, 12-off flowering light cycle. Growers using light meters to measure Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) in micro moles (µmol) will only see a 5% loss in intensity after one year of use.
What type of light is Gavita?
The fixture’s light source is a Gavita Pro Plus 1000W double ended HPS lamp, generating 2100 µmol s-1 of light. With a light maintenance of over 96% per 5000 hours you only need to replace it once a year.
Can you veg with Gavita LED?
This is a high-intensity full spectrum light, with a veg footprint of 6′ x 6′ or 7′ x 7′, and a flowering footprint of 4′ x 4′ or 5′ x 5′. Since this light is full spectrum, it can be used over the entire life of the plant. We recommend dimming it for veg, and then operating at full power during flower.
Do plants grow faster with constant light?
Many plants do well under 24-hour artificial lighting, but there are a handful that will refuse to bloom and perform their best under these circumstances. Others will thrive and bloom faster than usual when continuously exposed to light.
How often should I change my grow light bulbs?
To balance economy and performance, these lamps can be replaced every 12-18 months. Note: the above suggestions re grow lamp replacements assume an average of 12 ON hours per 24 hour period, so running them 18-to 24 hours a day further decreases suggested time between replacement.
How far should Gavita led be from canopy?
about 12 to 36 inches
We recommend hanging the Gavita Pro 1700e about 12 to 36 inches above your plants.
What is the Gavita pro 1000 (906050) bulb?
The Gavita Pro 1000 (906050) is the latest edition of high pressure sodium lamps to come from Gavita. With all the hype surrounding double-ended (DE) bulbs, we simply couldn’t ignore the opportunity to try one out, and…
How many moles of light does a Gavita Pro Plus produce?
The fixture’s light source is a Gavita Pro Plus 1000W double ended HPS lamp, generating 2100 µmol s-1 of light. With a light maintenance of over 96% per 5000 hours you only need to replace it once a year. Mounting is easy because the fixture is balanced and only requires two hanging points.
What is the best ballast for a Gavita double ended HPS lamp?
The high frequency ballast was specifically designed for the Gavita double ended HPS lamp, resulting in an accurate, optimal output, a stable burning lamp and a better light maintenance over time. The ballast is not suitable to run Metal Halide lamps. The HR96 DE for overlapping configurations, assuring optimal uniformity and penetration.
Is the Gavita pro 1000 really better than the HPS pro?
But the Gavita far exceeded even our highest expectations. We ran it side-by-side next to a 1000-watt HPS, and it performed beautifully; yield and quality were almost identical, if not better under the Pro 1000. Gavita attributes its higher performance to the fact that the ballast comes attached to the reflector, preventing any RF interference.
