Growers Choice Master Pursuit 500 Watt CMH Grow Light

Grower's Choice Master Pursuit

Horticultural Lighting Fixture

Grower’s Choice is at it again! Leading the industry with the advanced 4th generation fixtures, utilizing Grower’s Choice new 500W CMH lamp, the first in the industry.

A new milestone in CMH technology, the Master Pursuit 500w CMH All-In-One fixture is a must-have. With higher efficiency compared to traditional 315w lamps, the 65% increase of light energy is a more economical alternative with nearly the same output as two 315w CMH lamps used in the 630w CMH fixtures.

The other fixtures in the Master Pursuit collection are:

• Grower's Choice Master Pursuit 1000W - DE HPS/MH
• Grower's Choice Master Pursuit 1000W - Dual CMH Bulbs

Providing an average of 1000 umol/s of usable photon flux, the newly designed components and safety features guarantee a high-quality product.

This next generation technology has increased performance and overall reliability for a lighting system you can count on.

Features & Benefits

AI Ignition Control

This revolutionary feature, unique to our products, makes GC Series Digital Ballast the safest and most reliable ballast when used in automated multiple lamp applications. When multiple units are connected to the same mains circuit, our integrated Ignition Control software will completely balance the electrical draw by igniting one lamp at a time to prevent electrical surges and spikes that can overload the mains circuit and trip circuit breaking systems. For further efficiency, this feature is activated alongside our 'Soft Start Technology'.

Soft Start Technology

Soft Start Technology prolongs lamp life by stopping current rush to the lamp and preventing lamp overload. When the ballast is started from cold there will be a 3 second fixed delay before ignition. After ignition there will be a series of random 0-2 second delays before full brightness is reached after approximately 3-5 minutes. SoftStart Technology is also activated when increasing and decreasing power to the lamp using the 'Smart-Step' feature.

Re-Strike of Hot Lamp after Mains Failure

The GC Series Digital Ballast uses a timed re-strike system that prevents the ballast from re-striking a hot lamp after a power failure. If a hot lamp is detected, the re-strike will be delayed for 60 second intervals until the lamp has cooled sufficiently to be re-ignited. Re-ignition is then controlled by 'SmartStart Ignition Control' and 'Soft Start Technology' software.

Lamp Compatibility

The GC Series Digital Ballast is suitable for use with all good quality HPS, Metal Halide and Ceramic Metal Halide lamps. For a guaranteed perfect match and the best results we recommend Grower’s Choice horticultural lamps. Grower’s Choice lamps are optimized for use with high efficiency electronic ballasts with adjustable output.

Full Circuit Protection

The GC Series Digital Ballast uses a sophisticated software controlled circuit breaking system that is not seen in other manufacturer's ballasts. The system protects against a series of faults including: Open Circuit Protection, Short Circuit Protection, Over Voltage Protection, Under Voltage Protection and Over Temperature Protection. On Ignition the ballast performs a 3 second test of the circuit and in the event of a fault the ballast will go into protection mode to avoid damage to the ballast and lamp.

High Energy Efficiency

The GC Series Digital Ballast is up to 30% more efficient than standard magnetic ballast producing more lumens of light per watt of consumed energy. Efficiency does not diminish and is maintained for the entire life of the unit.

Grower's Choice Master Lighting Controller

Grower’s Choice Master Lighting Controller enables the grower to control up to 200 fixtures.

This dual-channel controller allows daisy chaining up to 100 fixtures per zone. Enabling complete control of your growing environment with timed on/off switching, sunrise/sunset, and precise temperature readings with dual thermal probes and thermal-threshold auto dim-shutdown for additional protection.
