Kimura HPS 1000W Lighting Kit – Evocrop | Adjustable Double Ended Grow Light

The Kimura HPS 1000W lighting kit by Evocrop is the high-performance lighting solution designed to maximize the yield of your indoor crop, offering a professional Double Ended (DE) system that covers up to 2x2 meters with superior light intensity. This complete fixture integrates a dimmable electronic ballast, a high-reflection reflector, and a specialized bulb to deliver a massive PAR output of 2.1 µmol/j, ensuring your plants get exactly the energy they need to explode into flowering.

Is your current lighting holding back your harvest?

Let’s be real: there is nothing more frustrating than spending months pampering your plants only to end up with airy, light buds because your light didn't penetrate enough. You worry about the electricity bill skyrocketing while your gram-per-watt ratio stays low, and you fear that upgrading to a powerful light will turn your grow tent into an oven that stresses your plants.

If you ignore this, you stay stuck in the loop of mediocre harvests. You keep paying for electricity that turns into heat instead of light, and your plants suffer from "light shock" every time the timer clicks on. Buying cheap or outdated equipment is the fastest way to burn money and lose motivation when you see the disappointing results on the scale.

The Kimura HPS 1000W is the game-changer you’ve been looking for. Its Double Ended technology is 30% more efficient than traditional HPS, meaning more light reaches your canopy for the same power cost. Plus, its Soft Start technology mimics a natural sunrise, protecting your plants from stress, while the adjustable dial lets you control the intensity (and heat) instantly. It’s the efficiency of a pro setup with the simplicity of a plug-and-play system.

Why this product is actually worth it for you

Look, if you are serious about getting a heavy yield, you need light penetration that reaches the lower branches. The Kimura isn't just "bright"; it uses a Double Ended bulb connection. This removes the shadow caused by the wire frame in standard bulbs and allows for a more stable gas arc, resulting in a much higher PAR output and a longer lifespan. You are basically getting professional greenhouse technology adapted for your personal grow room.

The versatility here is key. With the adjustable ballast, you aren't stuck blasting 1000W on seedlings. You can dial it down to 600W for veg and crank it up to 1150W (Super Lumens) for the final fattening stage. This flexibility saves you electricity when you don't need full power and gives you that extra "kick" when you really need to bulk up those flowers. It pairs perfectly with our range of Grow tents designed for high-performance cultivation.

Most important features and benefits

• Double Ended (DE) Technology: Unlike standard screw-in bulbs, this system provides a more stable light spectrum and higher UV output, which translates directly to more resin and potency.
• Adjustable Power (600W - 1150W): You can dim the light to manage heat or save energy during vegetative growth, and boost it to maximum power for explosive flowering.
• Soft Start System: The light ramps up gradually, simulating a natural dawn. This prevents bulb failure from power surges and keeps your plants from getting stressed by sudden brightness.
• High Efficiency (2.1 µmol/j): You get more plant-usable light for every watt of electricity you pay for. It’s about working smarter, not just harder.
• Plug & Play: No electricians needed. It comes as a single, compact unit (ballast + reflector). Just hang it, plug it in, and grow.
• Massive Coverage: Easily covers a 1.5 x 1.5m area for flowering, and up to 2 x 2m for vegetative growth, reducing the number of lights you need for larger rooms.

Typical objections and clear answers

We know upgrading to 1000W can feel intimidating, but here is the reality behind the common fears:

• You think that 1000W will generate too much heat. In reality, the adjustable dial lets you run it at 600W or 750W if temps get high, giving you control that fixed ballasts don't offer.
• You think that DE bulbs are hard to install. In reality, the mechanism is secure and simple; once it clicks in, it’s safer than a screw-in bulb that can loosen over time.
• You think that it consumes too much energy. In reality, because of its high PAR efficiency, you get significantly more yield per harvest, making the cost per gram much lower than with inefficient lights.

How to use it safely and effectively

To get those rock-hard buds without accidents, follow these steps carefully:

1. Preparation: Ensure your grow structure is sturdy. This unit weighs 9kg, so use high-quality pulleys or chains.
2. Bulb Installation: Never touch the glass with bare hands (oils cause hot spots). Use a clean cloth. Slide the DE bulb into the sockets and ensure it snaps securely into place.
3. Placement: Hang the light at least 60-90 cm above your canopy to avoid light burn. You can lower it gradually as plants acclimatize.
4. Connection: Plug the unit into a grounded timer or controller. If you are daisy-chaining multiple units via the RJ port, check your controller settings first.
5. Operation: Start at 600W for young plants. Increase to 1000W only when plants are in full bloom and healthy. Use the 1150W setting only for the final weeks of peak flowering.
6. Environment: A 1000W HPS generates heat. Ensure you have a good Air Extraction System to keep temps in the sweet spot.
7. Monitoring: Use reliable Thermohygrometers at canopy level to ensure your plants are happy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change the bulb?

The Double Ended bulb is rated for 15,000 hours, but for maximum yield, we recommend changing it after about 12-18 months of continuous use (or 3-4 crops), as PAR output degrades slightly over time.

Can I use a Metal Halide (MH) bulb with this kit?

This kit is optimized for HPS Double Ended bulbs. While some DE ballasts can run MH, for the best results and safety, stick to the manufacturer-recommended HPS DE bulbs for flowering dominance.

What size tent do I need?

We recommend a minimum of 1.50 x 1.50 meters (5x5 ft). Putting this beast in a smaller tent (like 1.2x1.2m) is possible but requires aggressive ventilation to manage the heat.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I remember when I made the jump from standard 600W lights to my first 1000W Double Ended fixture. I was terrified of the heat, but the difference in the final product was night and day. The buds were denser, rock-hard, and the resin production was off the charts compared to the single-ended bulbs I was used to.

The Kimura kit specifically impressed me because of the dimmer. Being able to drop it to 600W during a heatwave saved my crop more than once. My advice? Don't get greedy with the height. Keep it high initially; this light is powerful and can bleach tips if you get too close. Treat it with respect, and it will give you the heaviest harvest you've ever had.
