Who Should Use This Extension

The Lock & Seal 5-Foot Extension is for growers who need additional lamp cord length between a ballast and reflector in an HID grow light setup. It suits situations where a ballast must be mounted further from the light fixture than the original cord allows.

Lamp Cord Length and Ignitor Range Considerations

Some high-intensity discharge (HID) light systems, particularly those using capacitive ignitors, have specific ignitor range restrictions. If the total lamp cord length exceeds the ignitor's rated range, the lamp may not strike reliably or at all. Before using an extension cord, verify that your ballast and ignitor are rated for extended cord lengths. If uncertain, consult your ballast manufacturer's documentation.
