Cultiv8 - Reflector Extension Lead – 4 Metre (Round Earth Pin)

Cultiv8 - Reflector Extension Lead – 4 Metre (Round Earth Pin)

The Cultiv8 Reflector Extension Lead is a specialised electrical component designed specifically for high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting systems. Featuring a unique 4-metre heavy-duty cable with a round Earth pin, this lead is engineered to connect your grow light reflector directly to a remote ballast. By extending the reach of your lighting setup, it allows you to position heavy, heat-generating ballasts outside the grow room or tent, significantly improving environmental control and reducing cooling requirements. Built to handle the high-voltage ignition pulses required by HPS and MH lamps, this extension lead is an essential tool for professional growers looking to optimise their lighting footprint and safety.

Best For: Connecting HID reflectors to remote ballasts, removing ballast heat from grow tents, and extending the reach of HPS/MH lighting systems.

Key Features

• Specialised Round Earth Pin: Specifically configured with a round Earth pin to ensure compatibility with standard horticultural HID reflectors and ballasts, preventing accidental connection to domestic power outlets.
• 4-Metre Reach: Provides ample length to mount your ballasts on external walls or racking, keeping sensitive electronics away from high-humidity grow environments.
• HID Rated Insulation: Constructed with heavy-duty cabling designed to safely manage the high start-up voltages and sustained thermal loads of high-pressure sodium and metal halide systems.
• Heat Management Advantage: By allowing the ballast to be located outside the tent, this lead helps maintain lower ambient temperatures for your plants, reducing the stress on your extraction fans.
• Ruggedised Moulded Fittings: Features high-impact, heat-resistant connectors that provide a secure, vibration-proof link between your light source and power supply.

Specifications

• Brand: Cultiv8
• Lead Length: 4 Metres
• Plug Type: Round Earth Pin (Horticultural Standard)
• Compatibility: HPS & MH Reflectors and Ballasts
• Voltage: High-Voltage HID Pulse Rated

Installation & Safety Tips

• Ballast Placement: Use the 4-metre length to place your ballasts in a well-ventilated area outside the grow space to maximise their lifespan and efficiency.
• Secure Connections: Always ensure the round pin connectors are fully seated and tight before firing your HID system to prevent electrical arcing.
• Cable Safety: Avoid coiling excess lead while in use, as this can lead to heat build-up; always run the lead as straight as possible or in loose loops.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Large-Scale HID Setups: Perfect for commercial rooms where ballasts are centrally located on a manifold or racking system.
• Grow Tent Temperature Control: An easy solution for hobbyists struggling with excess heat from internal ballasts.
• Professional Reflector Integration: Designed for seamless use with the Cultiv8 reflector range and most standard industrial HID gear.
