Lumenhort 1000w double ended

[Dennis000]

Hello everyone, we can also make this lamp, PAR between 1850-1965μmol/s at present,spectrum is wider than EYE.
Ballast is 220v input 400v output, we don't have reflector.
Test report you can download from lumenhort.com

looks like a dangerous electrical setup... although a breakthrough for vertical growers!

i guess this is just a setup for testing

Yes, just testing to show you our 220v ballast can work 400v 1000w DE. We don't have the lampholder.

How? It might light the bulb but how does 220 in, equate to 400 out?

it may "work", or light up, after all you are passing electricity through it so no major surprise, but those bulbs run on 400v for a reason and that is that there is less damage to the bulb at that voltage/frequency, which is to do with acoustic resonance and feedback and all that good stuff involved with tuning a bulb to work well..

i wouldn't mind betting that you will ruin a double ended bulb doing that in a relatively short time.. and i really doubt that that par you quoted and the graph you posted will be at all accurate at 200v instead of what the bulb was designed to run at.

they are cheaply made chinese bulbs as well so added danger there, but also profit i think your guessing..

so just don't waste electricity and kill yourself..

The ballast is a transformer. which ups the voltage.I believe standard hps an mh bulbs are 300v. I've never heard of this brand ballast
