DEva 1000W Double Ended HPS - A Complete, Integrated Plant Lighting Solution

Growers know—life starts with light. Every gram, ounce or pound of produce generated from your indoor garden or climate controlled grow room begins with a photon of light. Plants use this crucial input energy (also known as photosynthetically active radiation or PAR) to capture and transform carbon dioxide into plant-usable carbohydrates—the building blocks of life.

When cultivating crops indoors in controlled growing environments, the quality and intensity of the PAR that you deliver to your plants largely determines both the medicinal and nutritional quality and quantity of the harvest. These precious photons form the “fuel” in the engine of your grow room.

In today’s increasingly competitive marketplace, progressive growers are constantly searching for techniques or technology that can help to differentiate them from the pack.

So why not start with quality and intensity of the light itself?

• Highest efficiency of any 1000W DE
• Virtually no EMI runs at 100Hz
• Onboard computer automatically adjusts output power to optimize lamp performance
• Avionic capacitors rated for 36 years of continuous use
• Manufactured in ISO certified automotive and aerospace factory
• Computer controllable with smart software features such as automatic dimming and reporting power outages
• Dimmable from 600W to 1125W by 1% increments

A completely integrated lighting solution

Pioneering indoor horticulturalists have historically been forced to mix and match different components, often sourced from several manufacturers and suppliers, to create a complete indoor horticultural lighting system. Fortunately, thanks to DEva, those days are behind us.

DEva is a completely integrated, plug n’ play, no-compromise plant lighting solution. Our state-of-the-art, low-frequency square wave electronic ballast is built right into the reflector. The reflector houses an Ushio double-ended 1000W HPS lamp—which comes included. All you have to do is plug it in and start growing.

Build Quality

Arguably it’s not just DEva’s performance that sets it apart from the competition but the quality of its components. We designed and sourced everything from the ground-up, from the avionic-grade capacitors (rated for thirty-six years of continuous operation) to the 97% reflective German aluminum in the reflector. The low-frequency square wave produced by the DEva electronic ballast perfectly drives the Ushio DE-HPS lamp with virtually no electromagnetic interference (EMI) or acoustic resonance issues that plague so many other electronic ballasts.

All Revolution Micro products are manufactured at a state-of-the-art, ISO-certified manufacturing facility in Thailand and we don’t source non-ISO traceable components —not even a single nut, bolt, washer or screw. Quality, consistency and reliability drive everything we do.

It is the first and only “silent” square wave ballast to drive 1000W 400V DE lamps. DC polarity square wave design gives this unit the lowest Electronic Magnetic Interference (EMI) output on record. It’s similar to those found with a Hi-Fi/iPad and other similar small devices. AM radio runs at around 500 kHz, much lower than FM which is in the order of MHz. The DEva runs at 150Hz which is 1000 times lower than most electronic ballasts on the market, and is out of radio range. EMC testing laboratories can hardly tell if the light is on or off.

Affordability

Usually phrases such as “state-of-the-art” and “cutting-edge” merely serve to prepare growers for budget-busting premium prices. Not so with DEva. Right from the outset, our goal has been to deliver an affordable and scalable plant lighting solution that’s attainable to both small-scale hobby hydroponics growers and large-scale, commercial-grade medical and licensed installations.

One reason we devote so much time and effort into implementing bulletproof manufacturing procedures and quality control processes normally reserved for aircraft avionics and other “zero-failure” applications is to keep costs down! The other, of course, is to provide a new level of reliability for growers, especially those cultivating extremely high value crops. When failure is not an option in your day-to-day growing operation, you need control gear that’s been built according the same ethos.
