DE-HPS intensity—up close and personal with your crop. This unique close proximity fixture can be safely positioned at just 16 to 18 inches (40 – 45 cm) from the canopy making it the ideal choice for growers with restricted / domestic ceiling height or multi-tier cultivators. Built around our own custom 750W enhanced spectrum DE-HPS lamp, this state-of-the-art lighting fixture can be dialed down to 600W with virtually no spectral degradation—setting it miles apart from comparable DE-HPS fixtures.
The Hellion 600/750W DE-HPS easily covers a 5’ x 3’3” (1.5m x 1m) footprint—even when positioned at the minimum recommended distance from the canopy. It’s all thanks to the unique, open-ended design of the Adjust-A-Wings Defender reflector and Super Spreader. Convection heat rises out of the reflector which, in turn, pulls air up through the canopy keeping it healthy, cool and fresh. Meanwhile the Super Spreader mitigates the risk of hot spots directly beneath the lamp, affording the legendary close placement and canopy penetration that is unique to Adjust-A-Wings.
Commercial warehouse growers using 1000W DE-HPS lamps in deep-dish, greenhouse style reflectors are typically forced to allow five to seven feet (152 – 213 cm) above the plant canopy in order to avoid over-heating their plants. This “brute-force” approach massively compromises overall system efficiency as a huge amount of light is inevitably lost to walls and space outside of the active growing area.
Small, deep-dish greenhouse-style DE-HPS fixtures are simply not suitable for grow tents or domestic indoor growers because they trap heat and concentrate radiant emissions. However, the Hellion 600/750W DE-HPS has been built for grow rooms and grow tents, not greenhouses! As such, it is capable of delivering all the promise of advanced DE-HPS technology without the dreaded burn associated with misused greenhouse lighting.
The Hellion 600/750W DE-HPS offers increased efficiency, higher output, improved lighting spectrum, and longer PAR maintenance (economically viable lamp life) leading to larger yields, lower cost of ownership, and higher quality produce throughout the crop.
