Ushio HiLUX GRO Pro Plus Double-Ended High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamp, 1000W

High-Output Double-Ended HPS Lamp for Compact Fixtures, 1000W

A single-ended HPS lamp loses some output to its base and socket design, which is one reason double-ended (DE) lamps have become the standard for growers chasing higher output per fixture. The Ushio HiLUX GRO Pro Plus is a 1000W double-ended HPS lamp built around that advantage, outputting approximately 2100 umol/s with high red and blue spectral ratios tuned for photosynthesis.

Its tubular, low profile design is built specifically to fit compact double-ended fixtures, and the lamp is manufactured in Germany at an ISO 9001 certified facility for growers who want documented, consistent PAR output fixture to fixture.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1000W double-ended HPS — outputs approximately 2100 umol/s per lamp.
• High red and blue spectral ratios — supports photosynthesis efficiency across the growth cycle.
• Made in Germany — produced at an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility.
• Tubular, low profile design — fits compact double-ended fixtures without added bulk.

Who Should Use This DE HPS Lamp

This suits growers running double-ended 1000W fixtures who want a high red-and-blue-spectrum lamp with documented PAR output rather than an unrated replacement bulb.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a double-ended HPS lamp over a single-ended one?

A double-ended design routes power through both ends of the lamp rather than through a single base and socket, which typically allows for higher output per lamp. That's part of why DE fixtures have become common in commercial-style setups chasing maximum output per square foot.

What is the model number for this lamp?

It's listed as US5002442, also referenced as AHS-DE1000W/Pro-Plus. Use either identifier when checking compatibility with a specific double-ended fixture.

Does this lamp meet California Title 24 lighting requirements?

When fitted within select Phantom brand luminaires, this lamp may meet California Title 24, Part 6, Section 120.6(h) requirements for Controlled Environment Horticulture lighting. Consult the specific fixture's documentation to confirm applicability before relying on it for compliance.

Where is this lamp manufactured?

It's made in Germany at an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility. That certification reflects a documented quality-management process rather than a specific performance guarantee.

How much light output does this lamp produce?

It outputs approximately 2100 umol/s at 1000W. Actual output at the canopy also depends on the fixture's reflector and the lamp's age and hours of use.
