GAVITA WIDE REFLECTOR W150 DE

Description

GAVITA WIDE REFLECTOR W150 DE is the extra-wide double-ended reflector from Gavita designed for high-intensity commercial installations where maximum canopy coverage and light uniformity across large footprints is the priority. We have been recommending Gavita Pro lighting system components to UK growers since 2017 as the commercial benchmark for precision HID light management in large-scale controlled-environment horticulture.

Why the W150 Wide Format Delivers Superior Large-Canopy Uniformity

In large commercial grow rooms with closely spaced DE fixtures, the distribution footprint of each individual reflector determines how evenly light is shared across the combined canopy. Narrow reflectors create distinct pools of higher intensity below each fixture with less-illuminated zones between — this non-uniformity reduces average canopy PPFD below what the installed wattage should theoretically deliver, as plant positions in the inter-fixture zones receive sub-optimal intensity. The Gavita W150’s 150cm width creates a broader distribution footprint that overlaps more effectively with adjacent fixtures, smoothing the intensity variation across the combined installation. The reflector geometry is specifically designed for the horizontal DE arc tube to maximise the optical use of the DE lamp’s omnidirectional output, extracting more useful canopy-directed photons from the same lamp wattage compared to single-ended reflectors or narrower DE designs.

Installation Spacing, Load Requirements, and Gavita System Integration

The Gavita W150 is designed for use with Gavita Pro 1000W and 750W double-ended lamp and ballast combinations. The 150cm reflector width requires appropriate fixture spacing to prevent overlapping interference between adjacent units — typically 1.2–1.5m centre-to-centre spacing depending on installation height and target PPFD. Ensure hanging infrastructure is rated for the combined weight of the reflector, lamp, and ballast unit. The W150 integrates with the full Gavita Pro ecosystem including the Gavita Master Controller for centralised dimming and scheduling across the complete installation. For commercial grow rooms building the most optically efficient, uniform-intensity HID installation achievable, the Gavita W150 paired with the Pro Plus lamp and 400V ballast represents the current commercial standard.
