Description
The AUVL Grow Green 2.2 (1000W DE HPS) is a high‑output, red‑dominant flowering lamp designed for professional greenhouse and indoor production. With 2100 µmol/s of PAR, it’s built for heavy fruiting crops, large flowering canopies, and high‑density greenhouse rows.
This is not a “general purpose” lamp — it’s a production-grade bloom engine.
🌱 What you can grow with it
Because this lamp is optimized for photosynthesis efficiency, high red output, and strong µmol delivery, it excels with:
High‑demand fruiting crops
- Tomatoes
- Peppers (sweet + hot)
- Cucumbers
- Eggplant
- Strawberries
- Melons (in greenhouse rows)
Large flowering crops
- Cannabis (flowering stage; extremely strong canopy penetration)
- Cut flowers (gerbera, chrysanthemum, roses)
- Greenhouse ornamentals needing strong bloom push
Greenhouse top‑up lighting
- Supplemental lighting for cloudy days
- Winter production lighting
- Deep‑canopy penetration for tall crops
Not ideal for
- Seedlings
- Clones
- Tender herbs
- Shade‑loving ornamentals
- Small tents or hobby spaces (too intense, too hot)
📏 Light footprint & performance
A 1000W DE HPS at 2100 µmol/s typically covers:
- Flowering: 4′ x 4′ to 5′ x 5′
- Greenhouse rows: 1–2 fixtures per 4–6 linear feet depending on crop height
- PPFD:
- ~700–1000 µmol/m²/s in a 4′ x 4′ footprint
- ~500–700 µmol/m²/s in a 5′ x 5′ footprint
This is commercial intensity — enough to push crops to maximum genetic potential when paired with proper nutrition and environmental control.
🔍 Why this lamp is used in pro greenhouses
- High red ratio → drives flowering, fruiting, biomass
- Blue output included → keeps plants sturdy, reduces stretch
- 2100 µmol/s PAR → extremely strong photosynthetic energy
- Long life (10,000 hours) → fewer changeouts
- 400V DE format → stable arc, high efficiency, low flicker
- Optimized for 100–150 kHz electronic ballasts → consistent output
This is the classic “workhorse” lamp for yield‑focused agriculture.
🛠 Practical usage tips
- Hang 24–36 inches above canopy (depending on crop tolerance)
- Maintain strong airflow — 1000W DE runs hot
- Replace at 8,000–10,000 hours for best PAR maintenance
- Use only with 400V / 100–150 kHz electronic ballasts
- Avoid dimming — voids warranty and reduces spectral quality
- Use in open fixtures (closed fixtures cause overheating)
🧪 Best paired with
- High‑yield nutrient programs
- CO₂ supplementation (for cannabis or high‑value fruiting crops)
- Strong environmental control (temps, humidity, airflow)
- Trellis or support systems for heavy fruiting crops
