expensive, rare 1000 w conversion
lamps to buy ever!
Thousand watt lamps are not used
much in non horticultural
applications. As a result it is
usually a specialty lamp made by off
brand manufactures --very expensive
($100+, sometimes $120!). Rather
than sticking you with a system that
uses big buck lamps, we are
discounting a second ballast
and
bulb and adding them to our famous
SUPER OUTPUT REFLECTOR system.
A
Giant
3’ Reflector
w/Six
Wings delivers
More
Light for
Higher Growth
This
next generation hood clearly out
classes the light wasting batwing
"lights". Why settle for less than
the most efficient reflector you can
get?
VIRGIN
Light:
Don‘t
get stuck with a light that's
been junked once before! Why buy
something that costs more to fix
than what you paid?
Our
Light Features:
Giant 3’ Reflector just for Indoor
Use.
It measures 3 feet
long!
This
is the secret:
The larger reflector,
the easier it is to capture light
that would be wasted lighting up
your ceilings and walls , and
redirect this otherwise wasted light
down on your plants. The reflector
has 4 extra wings
to capture and redirect the light
shed off the ends of the light bulb.
It offers extraordinary high optical
efficiency.
Plus, this giant
Super Output reflector is large
enough to use the cheaper, standard
size metal halide bulbs The standard
size 1000 watt metal halide bulb is
BT-56 size, ( as big as a soccer
ball with a long discharge tube)
Don't get stuck with
something that costs more to fix
than what you paid!
We
are not taking used, scraped lights
out of a factory, cleaning them and
calling them “refurbished”. With
the exception of a repainted ballast
enclosure, you are getting a brand
new fixture which includes:
GIANT
REFLECTOR: 3 Foot Long!
Measures 3'x1.5' x .5'. The
reflector is made of lighting grade
anodized high reflectivity aluminum
- not a laminated product that can
peal. Total reflectivity is 95%.
It is so shiny
that you can see your reflection,
just like a mirror. This is what the
real lighting grade specular
aluminum looks like. Others just use
dull sheet aluminum.
Be careful:
without treatment, aluminum is not
very reflective- as low as 30%. Look
at the other reflectors on ebay, see
if you think they are as bright!
New 2
Ballasts,Capacitors & Ignitors.
All
electrical components are new, not
half worn out.
New Socket.
Not something used pulled out of the
scrap heap. So the socket is sure to
be good.
Remote Mounting Hardware.
The giant
reflector hangs from chain bails. An
approximate 10’ power supply cord
connects the ballast enclosure to
the reflector.There are two reasons
to use a remotely mounted ballast:
(1) It’s easier to hang a
lightweight reflector . (2) The heat
of the lamp is kept away from the
ballast and capacitor. The ballast
enclosure and reflector can be
stored separately. Reusable quick
connectors make disassembly a snap.

1000 watt
Metal Halide
Bulb &
1000 W HPS Bulb
Upgrade:This
fixture now uses an all new Diecast
enclosure (not a repainted one)!
Prewired 120 volt
Power Cord.
Cord length is
approximately 6’.
This can be rewired
for 208, 240, or 277 volt. The
ballast cord is approximately 10'.
Quality Workmanship.
There are
no sharp edges to cut your self on.
The edges are neatly folded over.
The reflector does come with a
protective quick release film. Stiff
structural aluminum is used to
support the hangers and socket. Two
chain bails are provided to hang the
reflector by. The ballast is not
Chinese. For storage and shipment
the end reflectors bolt to a central
reflector.
We didn't just
slap a light bulb under a sheet of
corrugated aluminum. With pencil and
paper, we figured out how light
actually bounces to construct the
best reflector for you. Sure, it's
more work and takes craftsmanship to
build. But the result is an
unusually strong, lightweight
optics that does not trap light like
a shoebox light, or waste it like a
batwing.
Compare this to
the “batwing” or “shoebox” lights
that some people hawk and you will
see that this reflector gives you
usually 50% or more light for the
money:
Batwings are for Bats!,
not
Plants
Look at the grow
"lights" that are being
cobbled together and sold here. Most
of them have open ends. Light flies
out the ends of these “batwings”
and hits your walls. What a waste!
Do you want to light up your room or
do you need to feed your plants with
light?
The geometric fact
is that half of the light from a
bulb comes off the end, and half
comes off the sides. That’s why our
reflector has additional wings to
redirect horizontal light down.
On the other hand,
light ricochets off of a batwing
reflector and out the open ends and
onto your walls. What a waste!
Shoeboxs are for Shoes!
Other common grow lights have a
hood, but not a large complete
multi-sided reflector like ours
has. You can’t throw a light bulb in
a little box and hope that much
light will get out. If you put a
reflector with open ends in a the
box, light gets trapped in internal
reflections, bouncing back and forth
between the ends of the box or the
ends and the reflector or the
reflector with it's self. The
optical efficiency of these "shoe
box" lights is so poor that hardly
anyone in the lighting industry
publishes the numbers. Typically
only 40 to 60% of the light
generated by the arc gets out of the
fixture. You are simply not getting
the light you are paying for.
He who
hastens to be rich can not be
innocent
We confess that we are knew
to EBay. We didn't realize that
people would sell junk. I've made
the mistake myself twice overpaying
at auction for stuff that sounded
new but was not.
This is
the
grow light
scam that's been going on.
Most of the lower priced fixtures on
ebay are rebuilt used warehouse
lights. Yep, the ads are so clever,
and so tricky that I'd think it was
all new too! Some even carry a
"warranty". (No doubt to get another
used peice of junk that should have
went for scrap) We know this is
true, because people are coming to
us for repair parts.
On the otherhand,
we offer low opening bids on new
equipment with new electricals and
new reflectors.
(Except in this
auction the enclosure was blemished
but repainted.)
Miscellaneous Shipping
to AK & HI is higher. The reflector
will have a quick release film on it
when you get it. You'll have to peal
it off before use.. Please specify
if your address is residential or
commercial for shipping purposes.
This fixture normally ships in two
cartons because of its size. If you
buy more than one we can nest
reflectors so that your shipping
costs will be much less. All of the
ballast enclosures have been
upgraded to have aluminum luovers.
