Expert Series MKII 1000W DE EL Uhf + Dxo HPS Lamp 400V 1000/1250W DE EL DimLux

DIMLUX EXPERT SERIES MKII 1000W DE EL DHF WITH ULTRA OPTICS 98 REFLECTOR

DimLux Expert Series MKII 1000W DE EL DHF is a complete professional lighting system designed for high-performance indoor cultivation. This unit combines lamp, high-frequency electronic ballast, and Ultra Optics 98 reflector in one solution, offering advanced light management, even light distribution, and excellent energy efficiency. It is an ideal choice for experienced growers, professional cultivators, and cultivation environments where stability, output, and reliability are essential.

The MKII version is an improved evolution of the Expert range, developed to further enhance system performance. The unit is supplied with a DXO HPS 400V 1000/1250W DE EL lamp, capable of producing extremely high light intensity up to 2150 µmol/s. Combined with the Ultra Optics 98 reflector, made from 98% reflective Miro Silver, the fixture can deliver a PPF of 2107 µmol/s at 1000W, with an overdrive function up to 1200W to reach even higher values for more demanding crops.

One of the most appreciated features of this model is the quality of its reflector. The DimLux Ultra Optics 98 has been developed according to the Single Bounce Clear Sight (SBCS) principle, designed so that each photon reflects only once before reaching the plant canopy. This approach improves light uniformity, reduces losses, and helps maintain lower operating temperatures. The 50 mm top connection also encourages passive hot air rise and, if required, allows forced extraction with an inline fan, reducing cooling costs inside the grow room.

KEY FEATURES

1. Complete professional system: electronic ballast, DE EL lamp, and high-performance reflector in one ready-to-use solution.
2. Outstanding light performance: up to 2150 µmol/s with the DXO HPS 400V lamp and over 2100 µmol/s PPF in standard 1000W configuration.
3. Dimming and overdrive function: multiple power levels to adapt light intensity to different cultivation stages.
4. Very high-frequency ballast: 140 kHz operation improves output in the photosynthetically active spectrum and ensures more stable lamp power.
5. Ultra Optics 98 reflector: designed for even light distribution and better thermal management inside the grow room.
6. Low operating temperatures: the unit is designed to limit wasted heat and work with excellent efficiency.
7. Compatible with previous versions: also ideal for upgrading existing DimLux systems.
8. Versatile coverage: suitable for cultivation areas from around 1.65 m² up to 4 m², depending on selected power and crop requirements.

SAFETY AND RELIABILITY

The DimLux Expert MKII has been developed to provide continuous operation and maximum protection during use. The integrated diagnostic LEDs allow real-time monitoring of ballast operating status, signalling safety mode or any system fault. In the event of incorrect wiring, loose cables, or short circuits, the system reacts quickly by switching off the unit to prevent damage and reduce electrical risks.

Compared to traditional magnetic ballasts, this electronic technology enables more controlled lamp ignition thanks to the Soft-Start function, reducing initial electrical stress. When connected to the Maxi Controller, the system also supports Zero-Start and automatic dimming according to environmental conditions. The ballast also stabilises the input current at 230V, keeping light output constant even when the mains supply fluctuates.

Another major advantage is long-term stability: DimLux electronic ballasts do not suffer the typical performance drop associated with many analogue solutions. This means more constant consumption, improved line safety, and high reliability even after years of continuous use.

WHY CHOOSE DIMLUX EXPERT MKII 1000W

Choosing this system means investing in a professional lighting solution designed to deliver high PPF, uniform light spread, power control, and operational safety. It is especially suitable for growers looking to optimise vegetative growth and flowering with a top-level HID source, while also maintaining more precise control over temperature and energy use. The Ultra Optics 98 reflector, the advanced ballast electronics, and DimLux build quality make this fixture a strong choice for modern grow rooms, indoor greenhouses, and high-intensity production environments.

USAGE WARNINGS

HID lamps reach very high temperatures during operation. Direct contact with hands, plants, plastic materials, or other heat-sensitive objects must be avoided. Do not wet the lamp and do not expose it to splashes or liquids, as this may cause premature failure, breakage, or potentially dangerous situations. For correct use, the fixture should be installed in adequately ventilated environments and in compliance with standard electrical safety practices.
