Omega Air Cooled 600W Grow Light Kit

Omega Air Cooled 600W Grow Light Kit

Air Cooled Grow Light Kits allow you to remove hot air from the grow room or grow tent, massively reducing temperatures and making the environment much easier to control. This is naturally a god-send during the hotter months.

Omega Air Cooled Reflectors are great in winter, too, allowing you to increase the number of grow lights in a given area, improving productivity.

How do I Use an Air Cooled Grow Light?

All you need to do is connect some suitably sized ducting to either end of the Air Cooled Reflector using Quick Release Duct Clips. Connect the ducting to a duct fan and blow air through the Air Cooled Reflector and on towards an outside point.

It's important that your fan is placed before the grow lights when setting up your lighting system. Never suck hot air through an extractor fan or you'll cause it to overheat, which will inevitably damage it and increase the risk of a fire.

What's in your Omega Air Cooled Kit?

The Omega Air Cooled 600W Grow Light Kit contains the following items:

• 1 x Omega 600W Magnetic Ballast or Digital Ballast
• 1 x 600W Omega HPS Grow Lamp
• 1 x Omega Air Cooled Reflector (choose from 5-inch, 6-inch and 9-inch sizes)

The Omega Magnetic Ballast is simple but effective. It's not quite as refined as the Omega Digital HPS Ballast, and lacks a few features, like soft start-up and adjustable output, but when it comes to the most important stuff, it gets the job done in style. For us, though, the digital model is worth the extra spend.

Both ballasts regulate the power that's fed to the Omega HPS lamp, producing a lighting output that delivers rapid growth rates. The output is particularly heavy in the red areas, which drives profuse flowering and fruiting.

The HPS lamp is housed inside a glass tube. A small, Euro-style reflector sits at the top of the Air Cooled Reflector, directing light towards your plants and increasing efficiency.
