1000W HI-PAR DE LAMP

Description

HI-PAR 1000W DE Lamp

Double-ended horticultural lighting

The HI-PAR 1000W DE Lamp is a replacement horticultural lamp for compatible EL or high-frequency ballast systems and commercial fixtures. DE means double-ended: the lamp connects at both ends rather than using a single screw base. Match the complete lamp specification to the fixture and ballast before choosing a replacement.

Stealth Garden, the official distributor, identifies this lamp as HI-PAR-DE-LMP-1000 with product code SG-S0601. The listing is for the lamp. A ballast, reflector, controller and suspension equipment are separate parts of a lighting system and should be selected according to their own compatibility requirements.

HI-PAR 1000W DE Lamp specifications

The distributor lists a 1000W rating, 2100K correlated colour temperature, 148,000 lumens and 2100µmol/s photon output within the 400–700nm PAR range. It also lists an effective life of 10,000 hours and construction using UV-block quartz with a PCA arc tube.

These are the listed lamp figures. They do not specify a guaranteed light intensity at every plant position. The reflector, mounting height, canopy shape and surrounding surfaces all affect how the lamp output is distributed across a growing area.

Understanding the light figures

Photon output expressed in micromoles per second describes the amount of photosynthetically active light leaving the source. It is different from PPFD, which measures photon flux per square metre at a particular position. A bare-lamp output of 2100µmol/s should not be presented as a measured canopy PPFD.

Lumens describe light weighted for human vision, while the 2100K figure describes the colour appearance. These figures answer different questions. Compare like-for-like values when evaluating a replacement rather than treating lumens, kelvin and photon output as interchangeable measures.

Ballast and fixture checks

Use the HI-PAR 1000W DE Lamp only in a system that specifies compatibility with its wattage, double-ended fitting and operating requirements. A ballast with a similar power label is not sufficient evidence of compatibility on its own. Check the equipment documentation and the lamp packaging together.

The lamp requires a compatible ballast system; it is not a bulb to connect directly to a household supply. Check the reflector’s lamp-holder arrangement, operating clearances and handling instructions. Follow the supplied installation procedure rather than applying instructions from a different lamp or fixture type.

Planning replacement and maintenance

The 10,000-hour figure is a stated effective-life rating, not a promise that light output remains identical throughout use. Keep a record of operating hours and inspect the lighting system according to its instructions. Review changes in measured light at a consistent position when assessing performance over time.

For a scheduling example, 10,000 hours corresponds to approximately 833 days at 12 hours per day or 556 days at 18 hours per day. These are arithmetic conversions of the listed hours. They are not a recommended replacement interval or an additional warranty promise.

Rated power and running costs

A 1000W lamp rating is 1kW. At that rated lamp power, 12 hours represents 12kWh and 18 hours represents 18kWh of lamp energy. These examples exclude ballast losses and other equipment, so they should not be treated as measured total power consumption for your complete lighting system.

For a useful cost estimate, measure the system’s actual draw at its operating setting and multiply the resulting energy use by your electricity tariff. Include fans or other supporting equipment separately if you want to assess the whole room rather than just the lighting circuit.

Choosing the HI-PAR 1000W DE Lamp

Check the HI-PAR 1000W DE Lamp identity, fitting and ballast requirements before ordering. Keep the existing equipment model details available when comparing replacements.
