Dimlux Expert Series 1000w DE EL

Using the Dimlux 1000W Nanotube in your hydroponic setup is straightforward, but it’s essential to understand the process to get the most out of your investment. Here’s a detailed guide to help you integrate this advanced lighting system into your grow room confidently.

1. Setting Up the Fixture:

• Placement: Start by deciding where to place the fixture in your grow room. It should be centred above your plants to ensure even light distribution. Keep in mind the illumination surface area to maximise the effectiveness.
• Hanging the Light: Use sturdy rope ratchets to suspend the fixture. The unit weighs 6.3kg, so ensure your hangers can support this weight safely. The light should not be too close to the ceiling or the plants to avoid heat damage.

2. Connecting to Power:

• Power Connection: The Dimlux system operates on 230 volts, common in most areas. Connect the 4-metre power cord provided to your mains power supply.
• Safety Check: Ensure all connections are secure and that water does not come into contact with the electrical parts.

3. Using the Maxi Controller:

• Initial Setup: For optimal use, connect the Dimlux fixture to the Maxi Controller (sold separately). This device allows you to control up to 160 lights, making it perfect for scaling your operation.
• Connection: Connect two Dimlux units directly to the Maxi Controller using connection wires. You can add more units by daisy-chaining them from the initial two.

4. Adjusting the Settings:

• Dimming Function: Use the Dim Button to adjust the light intensity according to your plant’s growth stage. There are seven dim levels and an off mode, providing you with complete control.
• Boost Mode: The boost function allows you to increase the light intensity up to 1200 Watts, which can be particularly beneficial during crucial growth phases.

5. Managing Temperature:

• Utilising Nanotube Technology: If your grow room temperature tends to rise, use the nanotube feature to cool the lamp actively. This process will not only improve the lamp’s efficiency and lifespan but also create a more favourable environment for your plants.

6. Maintenance:

• Regular Checks: Periodically check the fixture for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the reflector clean to maintain its efficiency.
• Lamp Replacement: To ensure your plants receive the best-quality light, replace the Philips Master GreenPower Plus 1000W lamp at least once a year.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to use this light fixture effectively in your hydroponic setup. This system’s design is user-friendly while offering professional-level control and efficiency, giving you everything you need to nurture your plants and boost your yields.
