Gavita Pro 1000w e-series DE is part of the Gavita Pro line e-series, next generation professional grow light solutions. This double ended fixture is capable of being remote controlled by the Gavita Master Controller.
The e in e-series stands for external control. These fixtures can be controlled centrally by a Gavita Master controller. This replaces the often cumbersome installation with contactors and clocks, and adds safety features such as automatic dimming of your lights at high temperatures and even a safety shutdown.
They improved the electronics and changed the way the ballast is built, by mounting the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and warm components directly on the heat sinks instead of in a ballast bracket. The much cooler electronics result in a greater reliability and a longer life. The new design of the housing even increases that effect.
We are an authorised Gavita distributor & dealer in South Africa.

The fixture comprises of a ballast, reflector and lamp in one complete compact package. Made according to horticultural standards, the housing of the ballast is sealed and contains a gore-tex® plug to ventilate the housing, while keeping dust and humidity out.
Ballast output is either controlled by the Gavita Master controllers, or an external switch, allowing it to be adjusted to 600, 750, 825, 1000W, and 1150W boosted output. The Master Controller can centrally control the output hundreds of fixtures in a range between 500 and 1150W output power. Using the Master controller safeguards your valuable crop by the added auto-dim and auto-shutdown features which completely automates your light control.
The compact complete fixture contains a lamp, HR96 reflector and horticultural quality ballast in one comprehensive package. The higher output and added efficiency of the industry standard HR96 reflector make this the workhorse of the family.
The spread of the Pro 1000 equipped with the HR96 DE reflector is about 4 x 6 ft (110x180cm) at 3 ft distance in overlapping plans, providing light levels of up to 1000 mol s-1 m-2.
The fixtures light source is a Gavita Pro Plus 1000W double ended HPS lamp, generating 2100 mol 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. For c-profile installations we have convenient brackets available.
Features and Benefits:
- Complete Fixture - The integration of ballast and reflector results in a compact fixture. No external lamp wires results in low EMI, which makes it easier to comply with FCC regulations. All Gavita's fixtures are FCC compliant.
- Horticultural Design - Their fixture is not a contraption of a remote ballast and reflector: it is a fixture designed as a complete fixture. The high quality white coating is durable and UV resistant. All the terminals are sealed with gaskets and contact and terminals are high quality.
- 400V lamp technology for high frequency electronic ballast - The high voltage lamp technology results in a better efficiency of the arc tube: more light for the same power (10-25% more than traditional single ended lamps)! These lamps are best suited for extreme high frequency electronic ballasts, creating a stable arc without acoustic resonance, assuring optimal output and a long lamp life. The smaller arc tube and outer balloon require the lamp to be nitrogen filled instead of vacuum, which prohibits it to be air cooled. Air cooling of the lamp results in lower lamp temperature, which results in sub-optimal light output, up to 15% less than specified. Therefore these lamps are not suitable for direct air cooled fixtures.
- Replaceable Reflector - The bracket is designed to be able to change your reflector quickly. Miro aluminum can not easily be cleaned, and when you clean it, it will never be as good as a new reflector. It's recommend to change reflectors every year in a dirty environment (dust, foggers, sprays) or every two years in a clean environment.
- Controllable Output - With the output dial you can select an output power between 600 and 1150W, adjusting your light to changing circumstances or grow phases. Do remember though that every new lamp needs to burn in at 100% for at least 100 hours to stabilize before you dim or boost it. Failing to do so can lead to start-up problems when lower output power is selected and decreased output.
- Double Ended Lamp - These Double ended HPS lamps are the most efficient HPS lamps available. Double ended lamps have the advantage that they are always in the focal point of the reflector, there is no frame wire in the lamp which results in less light interception, and the lamp is very small in diameter which prevents reflected light to be intercepted by the lamp in the reflector.
- High Frequency Electronic Ballast - There is no such thing as a universal ballast. You will get the optimal output when you match a lamp and ballast which are designed for each other. Gavita's ballasts are designed to power our horticultural double ended lamps at exactly the right high frequency and power for optimal and stable output, and a long light maintenance. Their ballasts are only suitable for high frequency HPS lamps as specified in the product manual.
