Tree & shrub support

Use this product for supporting shrubs and young trees against suitable supports. Select stakes, ties and support components according to the size of the plant, exposure of the site and the support system being used.

A correctly installed support should reduce damaging movement without holding the trunk completely rigid. Some natural movement helps the plant develop as it establishes.

Installation & ongoing checks

Position ties and support components so they do not rub, cut into or constrict the bark. Avoid over-tightening and inspect the installation regularly as the trunk or stems increase in diameter.

Adjust or remove supports once they are no longer required. Leaving a tie in place for too long can cause restriction or damage as the plant grows.

For nurseries, landscapers & tree planting

Tree-support products are useful for nursery stock, landscape planting, public-realm schemes and garden installations where newly planted trees or shrubs need temporary stabilisation.

Loadstar 250W Dual Spectrum HPS Lamp - Full-Cycle Plant Growth & Flowering Bulb

£1.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Loadstar 250W Dual Spectrum Lamp is a high-pressure sodium plant lamp designed to provide a broader spectrum for both vegetative growth and flowering, making it a versatile choice for smaller HID lighting systems.

Unlike a conventional flowering-focused HPS lamp, a dual spectrum lamp supplements the strong red and orange output associated with sodium lighting with additional light in the blue region of the spectrum. This creates a more balanced output for use across multiple stages of plant development.

At 250W, the Loadstar offers a lower-power alternative to larger 400W and 600W HID systems. It is particularly useful where a compact lighting footprint is required or where the heat and power consumption of a larger HID lamp would be unnecessary.

The lamp requires a compatible 250W ballast and suitable HID reflector. It is not a self-ballasted lamp and must not be connected directly to the mains supply.

Why choose the Loadstar 250W Dual Spectrum Lamp?

250W dual spectrum lamp - designed for smaller HID plant-lighting systems.
Suitable for growth and flowering - broader spectral output allows one lamp to be used across different crop stages.
Red-rich HPS output - provides the strong red and orange wavelengths associated with flowering and fruiting.
Additional blue output - improves suitability for vegetative plant development compared with a flowering-focused HPS lamp.
Full-cycle flexibility - reduces the need to swap between separate vegetative and flowering lamps.
Lower-power HID option - useful where a 400W, 600W or 1000W lighting system would be unnecessarily powerful.
Compact lighting applications - well suited to smaller crop areas and supplementary lighting.
Compatible with appropriate 250W control gear - can be paired with a suitable 250W HPS or dual-spectrum ballast and reflector system.

Dual spectrum light for vegetative growth & flowering

Traditional high-pressure sodium lamps are particularly strong in the red, orange and yellow regions of the spectrum. This makes them highly effective during flowering and fruiting, but less balanced than some other light sources for vegetative development.

The Loadstar Dual Spectrum lamp broadens this output by providing additional blue light alongside the characteristic red-rich HPS spectrum.

The result is a more versatile lamp that can remain in use as plants move from vegetative development into flowering, rather than requiring a separate metal halide or blue-spectrum lamp for the earlier growth stage.

Where is a 250W dual spectrum lamp useful?

A 250W HID system occupies a useful position between lower-output propagation lighting and substantially more powerful 400W, 600W and 1000W systems.

Vegetative plant development - additional blue-spectrum output supports use during active foliage and structural growth.
Flowering and fruiting - the strong red-rich HPS component makes the lamp particularly useful during reproductive growth.
Full-cycle lighting - one compatible lamp can remain in use across multiple crop stages.
Smaller crop areas - 250W can be more appropriate where the intensity and heat of a larger HID installation are not required.
Supplementary lighting - can be incorporated where additional mixed-spectrum illumination is required.

Requires a compatible 250W ballast

The Loadstar 250W Dual Spectrum Lamp is an HID discharge lamp and therefore requires suitable control gear to start the lamp and regulate its electrical operation.

A compatible 250W ballast must be installed between the mains supply and lamp. The lamp must not be connected directly to the mains.

Loadstar produces a 250W magnetic ballast, while suitable multi-wattage digital ballasts may also support 250W sodium and dual spectrum lamps. Always confirm compatibility with the specific ballast before installation.

Pair with a suitable HID reflector

The reflector has a major influence on how effectively the lamp's output is distributed across the crop. A suitable reflector directs light that would otherwise travel upwards or sideways back towards the plant canopy.

Reflector shape, mounting height and positioning all affect the resulting lighting footprint. For the most uniform coverage, position the fixture centrally over the intended area and adjust its height according to crop response and environmental conditions.

Heat management & lamp positioning

Although a 250W HPS lamp produces less heat than higher-powered HID lamps, it still operates at a very high temperature and requires appropriate ventilation and clearance.

Lamp-to-canopy distance should be selected according to the reflector, environmental temperature, crop stage and plant response. Avoid positioning the lamp so close that foliage experiences excessive heat or light stress.

The lamp and reflector become extremely hot during operation. Always switch off the ballast and allow the system to cool fully before handling or carrying out maintenance.

Loadstar 250W Dual Spectrum Lamp FAQs

What does dual spectrum mean?

A dual spectrum lamp combines the strong red-rich output associated with HPS lighting with additional blue light, creating a broader spectrum suitable for more than one stage of plant development.

Can the Loadstar 250W Dual Spectrum Lamp be used for vegetative growth?

Yes. The additional blue component makes a dual spectrum lamp more suitable for vegetative development than a conventional flowering-focused HPS lamp.

Is the lamp suitable for flowering?

Yes. The lamp retains the strong red, orange and yellow output characteristic of HPS technology, making flowering and fruiting key applications.

Does this lamp need a separate ballast?

Yes. The Loadstar 250W Dual Spectrum Lamp requires compatible 250W control gear. It is not self-ballasted and must not be connected directly to the mains supply.

Can it be used with a digital ballast?

Yes, provided the digital ballast is specifically compatible with 250W sodium or dual spectrum lamps. Some multi-wattage digital ballasts include a dedicated 250W setting.

Can I use the same lamp from vegetative growth through flowering?

Yes. Full-cycle use is one of the main reasons for choosing a dual spectrum lamp, as it removes the need to change between separate vegetative and flowering lamps.

Why choose 250W instead of a 600W HPS lamp?

A 250W system is better suited to smaller lighting areas or installations where the additional light output, electrical demand and heat generated by a 600W system are unnecessary.

Can the lamp be used without a reflector?

A compatible reflector is normally recommended because it redirects otherwise wasted light towards the crop and helps create a more useful lighting footprint.

Does a 250W HPS lamp produce much heat?

Yes. It produces less total heat than higher-powered HID lamps, but the lamp itself still operates at a very high temperature. Suitable ventilation, clearance and safe handling remain essential.

How do I know when an HPS lamp needs replacing?

HID lamps gradually lose useful light output as they accumulate operating hours. Replacement is best based on operating time, visible lamp condition and measured lighting performance rather than waiting for complete lamp failure.

Can a 250W lamp be run at a higher ballast setting?

Only operate the lamp at settings specifically approved for the lamp and ballast combination. Do not run a 250W lamp at a higher output simply because a multi-wattage ballast offers higher settings.

How should a used HPS lamp be disposed of?

HID lamps should be sent through an appropriate lamp recycling or WEEE waste route rather than being disposed of with general waste.

Loadstar 300W Dual Spectrum CFL Lamp - E40 Self-Ballasted Plant Light

£2.50

Please sign in to see pricing

The Loadstar 300W Dual Spectrum CFL is a high-output compact fluorescent plant lamp designed to provide a mixed light spectrum suitable for use across vegetative growth and flowering.

Rather than using a spectrum focused primarily on one stage of plant development, the dual spectrum output combines light suited to both vegetative and flowering growth. This makes the lamp a practical option where one CFL is required for use throughout the crop cycle.

The lamp uses a large E40 screw fitting and incorporates its operating electronics within the lamp assembly, so it does not require the separate HID ballast used with conventional HPS or metal halide lamps.

At 300W, this is one of the higher-powered CFL options in the Loadstar range and is suited to propagation, vegetative growth, supplementary lighting and smaller-scale full-cycle plant lighting where CFL technology is preferred.

Why choose the Loadstar 300W Dual Spectrum CFL?

300W CFL plant lamp - high-output compact fluorescent lighting for plant development.
Dual spectrum output - combines light suited to vegetative growth and flowering in a single lamp.
Full-cycle flexibility - avoids changing between separate growth and flowering CFL lamps.
Self-ballasted design - operating electronics are incorporated into the lamp rather than requiring a separate HID ballast.
E40 screw fitting - compatible with suitable E40 CFL lamp holders and reflectors.
Useful for propagation and vegetative growth - provides an alternative to higher-intensity lighting where a CFL solution is preferred.
Suitable for supplementary lighting - can be positioned to provide additional light around an existing lighting installation.
Lower radiant heat than traditional HID lighting - useful where heat management is an important consideration.
Loadstar lighting range - part of the established Loadstar horticultural lighting range.

Dual spectrum light for growth & flowering

Plant lighting requirements change as a crop develops. Blue-weighted light is commonly associated with compact vegetative development, while increased red light is particularly useful during flowering and fruiting.

A dual spectrum CFL combines these requirements into one lamp rather than concentrating almost entirely on either a blue growth spectrum or a red flowering spectrum.

This makes the Loadstar 300W Dual Spectrum CFL particularly convenient where the same lamp is intended to remain in use as plants move from propagation and vegetative development into flowering.

It can also be used as supplementary lighting alongside another suitable primary light source where additional mixed-spectrum light is required.

Self-ballasted CFL technology

The Loadstar 300W is a compact fluorescent lamp with integrated operating electronics. Unlike a conventional HPS or metal halide lamp, it does not require a separate external HID ballast to operate.

This simplifies the lighting arrangement considerably. When fitted to an electrically suitable E40 CFL lamp holder or compatible reflector, the lamp can operate from the appropriate mains-powered holder without a separate ballast positioned elsewhere in the installation.

This distinction is important when selecting equipment. An E40 fitting describes the physical lamp base, but does not mean that every E40 lamp and holder combination is automatically compatible. Always use a holder designed for the electrical requirements and weight of the lamp.

Where can a 300W CFL be used?

The 300W output gives this Loadstar lamp considerably more lighting capacity than smaller propagation CFLs, making it useful across several types of plant-lighting application.

Propagation - for established seedlings and cuttings requiring increased light intensity.
Vegetative development - mixed-spectrum lighting for developing foliage and plant structure.
Flowering - the dual spectrum includes light suited to the reproductive stage of plant development.
Supplementary lighting - useful for adding light around areas receiving less illumination from the main fixture.
Smaller plant-lighting areas - can provide a straightforward self-ballasted lighting option where a larger HID system is unnecessary.

Positioning a 300W CFL lamp

CFL lamps generally produce less intense radiant heat than traditional HID lamps, allowing them to be used effectively in applications where managing heat is important.

However, a 300W CFL still produces heat and requires suitable clearance and airflow. Lamp-to-canopy distance should therefore be determined by observing plant response, light coverage and temperature rather than assuming the lamp can be positioned extremely close to foliage.

When used with a reflector, position the lamp to achieve an even spread across the intended plant area. When used as supplementary lighting, the lamp can be positioned to increase illumination in areas that receive less light from the primary fixture.

Installation & lamp handling

Use a compatible E40 lamp holder suitable for the lamp.
Support the lamp and holder securely due to the size and weight of high-output CFL lamps.
Disconnect the electrical supply before fitting or removing the lamp.
Allow the lamp to cool before handling after operation.
Keep the lamp and electrical connections protected from water and irrigation spray.
Maintain suitable airflow and clearance around the lamp.
Do not operate a lamp with damaged glass tubes, base or electrical components.
Handle the fluorescent tubes carefully when installing or removing the lamp.

Loadstar 300W Dual Spectrum CFL FAQs

What does dual spectrum mean on a CFL lamp?

Dual spectrum means the lamp combines light suited to vegetative development with light suited to flowering, allowing one lamp to be used across different stages of plant growth.

Does the Loadstar 300W CFL need a separate ballast?

No separate HID ballast is required. The CFL incorporates its operating electronics into the lamp assembly and should be fitted to a suitable E40 CFL lamp holder.

What lamp fitting does the 300W Loadstar CFL use?

It uses an E40 large Edison screw fitting. Check that the lamp holder is designed for a high-output CFL of this type before installation.

Can I use the same lamp for vegetative growth and flowering?

Yes. That is the main advantage of the dual spectrum version. Its mixed output allows the same lamp to remain in use as plants progress from vegetative development into flowering.

How is this different from the Loadstar Blue Spectrum CFL?

A blue-spectrum CFL is primarily intended for propagation and vegetative development. The dual spectrum version provides a broader balance suited to both vegetative and flowering stages.

Can this lamp be used for supplementary plant lighting?

Yes. A CFL can be positioned to supplement an existing lighting system, particularly where additional light is required around the edges or lower-intensity areas of the main lighting footprint.

Can I use the 300W CFL with a reflector?

Yes, provided the reflector has a suitable E40 lamp holder and is designed to accommodate the physical size, weight and electrical requirements of the lamp.

Can it be used with a hanging E40 CFL lamp holder?

Yes, where the holder is electrically suitable for the lamp and provides secure mechanical support. The lamp should never be suspended by the electrical cable itself.

Does a 300W CFL still produce heat?

Yes. Although CFL technology generally produces less intense radiant heat than traditional HID lighting, a 300W lamp still generates significant heat and requires suitable clearance and airflow.

How close should a 300W CFL be to plants?

There is no single correct distance for every installation. Positioning depends on the reflector or holder, plant stage, environmental temperature and plant response. Adjust the height to achieve useful light coverage without causing heat or light stress.

How should a used CFL lamp be disposed of?

Fluorescent lamps require appropriate disposal because they contain materials that should not be placed in normal household or commercial general waste. Use an appropriate lamp recycling or WEEE disposal route.

The outer case quantity is 10 lamps.

Loadstar 4 Way Timer Contactor - Heavy Duty Lighting Controller for 4 x 600W Lights

£19.50

Please sign in to see pricing

The Loadstar 4 Way Timer Contactor is a heavy-duty lighting controller designed to safely automate the switching of up to 4 x 600W lighting systems. Combining a built-in segmental timer with a heavy-duty contactor, four individually switchable output sockets and a robust metal enclosure, it provides a convenient central control point for multi-light installations.

High-powered lighting places significantly greater switching demands on a timer than ordinary low-load electrical equipment. A contactor separates the timer from the main switching load, allowing the timer to control the contactor rather than carrying the full lighting load itself.

This makes the Loadstar 4 Way Timer Contactor particularly useful for installations where several compatible lighting systems need to switch on and off together according to a repeatable daily schedule.

Why choose the Loadstar 4 Way Timer Contactor?

Controls up to 4 x 600W lights - designed for multi-light installations requiring centralised switching.
Built-in segmental timer - allows automatic scheduling without requiring a separate plug-in timer.
Heavy-duty contactor switching - designed to handle the switching demands associated with high-powered lighting equipment.
Four output sockets - connect multiple compatible lighting systems to one controller.
Individually switchable sockets - provides convenient local control of the connected outputs.
Socket power indicators - visual indication helps identify when outputs are powered.
Robust metal housing - durable enclosure designed for demanding environments.
Wall mounting hooks - allows the controller to be positioned away from the floor as part of a tidy installation.
Automatic daily light scheduling - removes the need to manually switch multiple lights on and off every day.
2 year warranty - manufacturer-backed warranty for additional reassurance.

Why use a contactor for high-powered lighting?

The important difference between a standard timer and a timer contactor is the way the electrical load is switched.

High-powered lighting equipment can produce a significant electrical demand during start-up. Repeatedly switching this type of load directly through a standard timer can place considerable stress on the timer's internal switching contacts.

A contactor is designed to handle the main switching operation. The timer controls the contactor, while the contactor switches the connected lighting load. This arrangement is particularly useful when several lighting systems need to operate simultaneously.

Built-in segmental timer

The integrated segmental timer allows the connected lighting schedule to be automated directly from the Loadstar controller. Once the required on and off periods have been set, the timer repeats the programme each day.

This provides a simple mechanical approach to lighting automation without relying on a separate external timer for the four connected outputs.

The analogue format also makes the programmed lighting period easy to see at a glance, which can be useful when checking or adjusting a lighting schedule.

Four-way lighting control

The Loadstar controller provides four output sockets, allowing up to four compatible lighting systems to be controlled from the same timer programme.

Loadstar specifies the 4 Way Timer Contactor for handling up to 4 x 600W lights. This makes it a convenient option for installations where several lights need to follow the same operating schedule.

Each socket is switchable and incorporates a power indicator, providing straightforward local control and visual confirmation at the controller.

Robust wall-mountable design

The controller is housed in a robust metal enclosure and incorporates wall mounting hooks. Mounting the controller securely in a suitable location helps keep the electrical installation organised and keeps the unit away from areas where it could be knocked or exposed to water.

As with all mains-powered lighting equipment, the controller should be installed and operated in accordance with its supplied instructions and within the specified electrical limits. Keep electrical connections dry and do not exceed the stated lighting capacity.

Loadstar Euro Reflector with 5m Cable - Anodised Aluminium HID Lamp Reflector

£4.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Loadstar Euro Reflector is a simple, reliable and cost-effective open-ended HID reflector, manufactured from highly reflective anodised aluminium and supplied with a generous 5m cable.

Designed to direct more of a lamp's output down towards the plant canopy, the Euro Reflector provides a broad spread of light without the complexity or cost of larger enclosed reflector systems.

Its open-ended design allows heat generated by the lamp to escape naturally from around the reflector, while the shaped aluminium surface redirects light that would otherwise travel upwards and away from the crop.

Electrical connections at the rear of the reflector are contained within a sturdy junction box, while the supplied 5m cable provides useful flexibility when positioning the reflector in relation to compatible HID control gear.

Why choose the Loadstar Euro Reflector?

Highly reflective anodised aluminium - redirects lamp output towards the plant canopy.
Wide light spread - simple reflector geometry provides broad coverage across the illuminated area.
Open-ended design - allows heat to escape naturally around the lamp and reflector.
5m cable included - provides flexibility when positioning the reflector away from compatible control gear.
Rear junction box - houses the reflector wiring in a sturdy enclosure.
Simple construction - straightforward design with no moving parts or complicated adjustment mechanism.
Cost-effective HID reflector - a practical choice where reliable light distribution is required without the cost of more complex reflector systems.
Suitable for compatible HID lighting systems - designed to form part of a ballast, lamp and reflector installation.

Wide-spread open reflector design

A bare HID lamp emits light in multiple directions. Without a reflector, a significant proportion of that output travels upwards or sideways rather than towards the crop.

The Loadstar Euro Reflector uses its shaped reflective surface to redirect more of this otherwise wasted light down towards the plant canopy. Its relatively open geometry creates a broad spread rather than concentrating the lamp output into a narrow footprint.

This straightforward approach has made Euro-style reflectors a popular choice for conventional HID lighting installations where simplicity, affordability and broad coverage are priorities.

Reflective anodised aluminium

The reflector body is manufactured from anodised aluminium, providing a bright reflective surface for redirecting light from the lamp.

Aluminium also keeps the reflector relatively lightweight, making it easier to suspend and reposition compared with heavier lighting assemblies.

To maintain reflective performance, keep the surface clean and free from accumulated dust. Avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaning methods that could mark or dull the reflective finish.

Supplied with a 5m cable

The included 5 metre cable provides useful separation between the reflector and compatible ballast or control gear.

This makes it easier to position the lighting fixture where required while locating the ballast in a suitable accessible position. Excess cable should be routed safely and kept clear of hot lamps, sharp edges, standing water and areas where it could be damaged.

Designed for conventional HID lighting

The Loadstar Euro Reflector is intended to form part of a conventional single-ended HID lighting system using a compatible lamp and ballast.

High-pressure sodium and metal halide lamps require suitable control gear and must not be connected directly to the mains supply. Lamp wattage and type should always be matched correctly to the ballast and reflector installation.

The reflector itself does not replace the ballast. A complete system requires the reflector, a compatible HID lamp and appropriate control gear.

Positioning the Euro Reflector

Suspend the reflector securely above the crop using appropriate hangers or suspension equipment. Keeping the reflector level helps maintain an even lighting footprint across the intended area.

Mounting height will depend on the lamp wattage, crop stage, environmental temperature and required light intensity. Higher-powered HID lamps generally require greater clearance from the canopy than lower-powered lamps.

Adjustable suspension equipment can make it easier to alter reflector height as plants develop.

Ventilation & heat management

HID lamps operate at very high temperatures. The Euro Reflector's open-ended construction allows heat to move away naturally, but appropriate environmental ventilation is still required.

Maintain suitable clearance between the lamp, plants and surrounding materials. The reflector and lamp should be positioned where accidental contact is unlikely, and the electrical components should be protected from irrigation water and excessive moisture.

Always switch the lighting system off and allow the lamp and reflector to cool fully before adjustment, cleaning or maintenance.

It redirects light that would otherwise travel upwards and sideways back towards the crop, creating a more useful lighting footprint from a compatible HID lamp.

What is the Loadstar Euro Reflector made from?

The reflector is manufactured from highly reflective anodised aluminium, providing a lightweight reflective surface for distributing lamp output.

Does the Loadstar Euro Reflector include a cable?

Yes. It is supplied with a 5m cable, giving useful flexibility when positioning the reflector in relation to compatible control gear.

Is a lamp included?

No. The lamp is sold separately, allowing the reflector to be paired with an appropriate compatible HID lamp and ballast.

Does the reflector include a ballast?

No. A compatible ballast or other appropriate HID control gear is required separately.

Why is the reflector open at the ends?

The open-ended construction keeps the design simple and allows heat generated by the HID lamp to escape naturally from around the reflector.

Can I use a double-ended DE lamp in this reflector?

No. Double-ended HID lamps require a dedicated DE fixture with electrical connections at both ends. The Euro Reflector is intended for conventional single-ended lighting systems.

How should I clean the reflective surface?

Allow the reflector to cool completely, disconnect the lighting system and remove loose dust carefully. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch or dull the anodised reflective surface.

Can the reflector height be adjusted?

The reflector can be suspended from suitable adjustable hangers, allowing its height to be altered as the crop develops. Suspension equipment is separate from the reflector itself.

How high should the reflector be above plants?

The correct height depends on lamp wattage, light intensity, crop stage and environmental temperature. Higher-output HID lamps normally require more clearance, so positioning should be adjusted according to the complete lighting system and plant response.

Why is the wiring housed in a junction box?

The rear junction box provides a sturdy enclosure for the reflector's electrical connections and keeps the wiring assembly together at the back of the fixture.

How many Loadstar Euro Reflectors are in an outer case?

The outer case quantity is 8 reflectors.

Automatic 24-hour lighting control

Consistent light and dark periods are an important part of managing many crops under artificial lighting. The Loadstar Heavy Duty Timer automates this process, removing the need to manually switch the lighting system at the beginning and end of each cycle.

The timer dial represents a complete 24-hour period and is divided into 15-minute segments. These segments are used to select when the connected lighting system should operate.

Once the current time and required operating periods have been set, the timer progresses through the programme and repeats the same schedule each day.

Designed for the demands of HID lighting

HID lighting places particular demands on switching equipment. When an HID ballast starts, its electrical characteristics can place considerably more stress on timer contacts than would be expected from looking at running wattage alone.

For this reason, a standard household timer should not automatically be assumed suitable for controlling an HID ballast simply because its stated wattage rating appears high enough.

The Loadstar Heavy Duty Lighting Timer is specifically designed to control a single compatible 600W HID ballast, allowing the ballast to be switched directly without requiring a separate contactor for this specified application.

Ideal for single 600W HID lighting systems

The Loadstar timer is particularly suited to installations where one compatible 600W HID lighting system needs to operate on a consistent daily schedule.

It provides a compact and straightforward alternative to a larger multi-way lighting control system where only one ballast needs to be controlled.

For installations using several HID ballasts, an appropriately rated multi-way lighting contactor or dedicated lighting controller should be used instead of attempting to switch multiple ballasts through a single timer.

Simple 15-minute segment programming

The mechanical dial is divided into 96 individual 15-minute segments. These segments allow the required operating periods to be selected directly on the timer.

This makes it suitable for commonly used daily lighting schedules as well as custom programmes that operate in quarter-hour increments.

Mechanical programming also makes the timer easy to check at a glance. The selected operating periods are visible directly around the dial without needing to navigate menus or access a separate controller.

Setting up the Loadstar Heavy Duty Timer

Set the mechanical dial to the correct current time.
Select the required operating period using the 15-minute segments.
Connect one compatible 600W HID ballast to the timer.
Connect the timer to the appropriate mains supply.
Check that the lighting switches on and off at the intended times.
Periodically check that the timer remains set to the correct current time.

Always follow the instructions supplied with the timer and the electrical requirements specified by the manufacturer of the connected ballast and lighting equipment.

Lighting timer safety & load management

The Loadstar Heavy Duty Lighting Timer is specified for one compatible 600W HID ballast. Its suitability for this application should not be interpreted as approval for multiple ballasts or other high-load electrical equipment.

Use with no more than 1 x compatible 600W HID ballast for the stated application.
Do not connect multiple HID ballasts to the timer.
Use appropriately rated lighting control equipment for multi-light installations.
Keep the timer and electrical connections protected from water and excessive moisture.
Do not use the timer if the plug, socket, cable or housing shows signs of damage.
Keep the timer accessible for routine inspection.
Follow the electrical requirements of the connected ballast and lighting system.

Loadstar Pro 1000W SE HPS Lamp - Single-Ended High Output Flowering Lamp

£5.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Loadstar Pro 1000W SE HPS Lamp is a high-output single-ended high-pressure sodium lamp designed primarily for the flowering and fruiting stages of plant development.

Producing the predominantly red and yellow light associated with traditional HPS technology, this 1000W lamp is designed for applications where powerful flowering illumination and a large usable lighting footprint are required.

The single-ended (SE) format is designed for compatible 1000W SE reflectors and lighting systems, distinguishing it from the Loadstar Pro 1000W DE lamp used in double-ended fixtures.

As a high-intensity discharge lamp, the Loadstar Pro requires a compatible 1000W ballast to operate and cannot be connected directly to the mains supply.

Why choose the Loadstar Pro 1000W SE HPS Lamp?

1000W HPS lamp - high-intensity lighting for larger plant-lighting installations.
Single-ended design - designed for compatible 1000W SE lighting systems and reflectors.
Flowering-focused spectrum - predominantly red and yellow output suited to flowering and fruiting crops.
High light output - intended for applications requiring considerably greater intensity than lower-wattage HID lamps.
Large-area lighting potential - suitable for appropriately designed installations requiring a substantial lighting footprint.
Compatible with suitable digital ballasts - designed to operate with correctly matched 1000W SE HPS control gear.
Established HPS technology - a proven approach to high-intensity flowering and supplementary crop lighting.
Loadstar Pro range - designed as part of Loadstar's high-output horticultural lighting system.

Red-rich HPS spectrum for flowering & fruiting

The Loadstar Pro 1000W SE produces the predominantly red and yellow spectral output characteristic of high-pressure sodium lighting.

This spectral balance makes the lamp particularly suited to flowering and fruiting applications, where high-intensity red-rich lighting can support strong reproductive growth.

The lamp can also form part of a broader crop-lighting strategy where HPS is combined with natural daylight or other artificial light sources.

High-output 1000W plant lighting

At 1000W, the Loadstar Pro is intended for significantly larger and higher-intensity applications than conventional 250W, 400W or 600W HPS systems.

The increased power allows a suitable reflector to distribute substantial light across a larger crop area, although actual canopy intensity depends on the reflector, mounting height, spacing and surrounding environment.

Higher wattage should not automatically be treated as better for every installation. A 1000W HPS lamp is most effective where the available area, mounting height, ventilation and environmental control are appropriate for its output.

What does SE mean?

SE stands for single-ended. The lamp's electrical and mechanical connection is located at one end, allowing it to fit a compatible single-ended reflector or lamp holder.

This is different from a DE or double-ended HPS lamp, which is supported and connected at both ends and requires a completely different type of fixture.

The Loadstar Pro 1000W SE should therefore only be used with equipment specifically suitable for a 1000W single-ended HPS lamp.

Requires a compatible 1000W ballast

High-pressure sodium lamps require dedicated control gear to start the lamp and regulate its operation. The Loadstar Pro 1000W SE therefore cannot be connected directly to the mains supply.

Use a compatible 1000W ballast designed to operate single-ended HPS lamps. Loadstar also produces a 1000W SE digital ballast specifically intended for single-ended 1000W lighting systems.

Where a ballast provides adjustable output settings, follow the ballast and lamp manufacturers' operating requirements. Do not assume that every ballast carrying a 1000W rating is automatically compatible with every 1000W lamp.

Heat management & positioning

A 1000W HPS lamp produces a substantial amount of heat as well as high-intensity light. Appropriate ventilation and environmental management are therefore essential.

Mounting height should be selected according to the reflector, crop, environmental temperature and measured or observed light intensity. Adequate clearance should always be maintained between the lamp, reflector, plants and surrounding materials.

The lamp and reflector become extremely hot during operation. Always switch the lighting system off and allow sufficient cooling time before handling, servicing or replacing the lamp.

Loadstar Pro 1000W SE HPS Lamp FAQs

What is the Loadstar Pro 1000W SE HPS lamp primarily designed for?

Its predominantly red and yellow HPS spectrum makes it particularly suited to high-intensity flowering and fruiting applications.

What does SE mean on the Loadstar 1000W lamp?

SE means single-ended. The lamp connects to the lighting fixture at one end, unlike a double-ended lamp that is supported and electrically connected at both ends.

Is this the same as the Loadstar Pro 1000W DE lamp?

No. The SE and DE versions use different lamp and fixture formats. This product is the single-ended version and requires compatible SE equipment.

Does the Loadstar 1000W SE lamp need a ballast?

Yes. HPS lamps require suitable control gear for starting and operation. This lamp requires a compatible 1000W ballast designed for single-ended HPS lighting.

Can I plug the lamp directly into the mains?

No. The lamp must be operated through suitable HPS control gear and a compatible reflector or lamp holder. It must not be connected directly to the mains supply.

Can I use it with the Loadstar 1000W SE digital ballast?

The Loadstar 1000W SE digital ballast is designed to operate single-ended 1000W lamps, making it the corresponding type of control gear for an SE lighting system. Always confirm the complete lamp, ballast and reflector configuration before installation.

Is this a dual spectrum lamp?

This particular Loadstar Pro 1000W SE lamp is described as producing predominantly red and yellow light and is primarily positioned as a flowering HPS lamp, rather than the separate Loadstar dual spectrum lamp range.

Can a 1000W HPS lamp cover more area than a 600W lamp?

A 1000W system provides substantially greater lamp power and can be used for larger high-intensity lighting footprints. Actual coverage depends on the reflector, mounting height, layout and required canopy light level rather than wattage alone.

Does a 1000W HPS lamp produce a lot of heat?

Yes. A 1000W HPS lighting system produces substantial heat, so adequate ventilation, clearance and environmental control should form part of the installation design.

Can I put this lamp into a double-ended reflector?

No. Single-ended and double-ended lamps use different mounting systems. This lamp requires a compatible single-ended reflector and lamp holder.

How should the lamp be handled after use?

Switch off the lighting system and allow the lamp and reflector to cool fully before touching or servicing them. HID lamps operate at very high temperatures during use.

How should an old HPS lamp be disposed of?

HID lamps should be handled through an appropriate lamp recycling or WEEE waste route rather than being placed in general waste.

Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum HPS Lamp

£0.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum Lamp is a high-pressure sodium (HPS) grow lamp designed to provide useful light for both vegetative growth and flowering from a single 600W lamp. Its dual spectrum output combines the predominantly red/orange output associated with HPS lighting with additional blue-spectrum light, allowing growers to use one lamp throughout the crop cycle.

Designed as a cost-effective replacement lamp for compatible 600W HID lighting systems, the Loadstar Pro uses a standard E40 screw fitting and is intended to operate with a suitable 600W ballast and reflector.

Dual spectrum technology makes the lamp particularly convenient for growers who want to avoid changing between separate vegetative and flowering lamps. It can remain in the lighting system as plants move from vegetative development into flowering and fruiting.

Why choose the Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum Lamp?

600W HPS grow lamp - a proven HID lighting format for high-intensity plant lighting.
Dual spectrum output - combines useful blue and red/orange wavelengths in a single lamp.
Vegetative and flowering use - designed for use throughout both major stages of the crop cycle.
No seasonal lamp change required - one dual spectrum lamp can be retained when moving from vegetative growth into flowering.
E40 screw fitting - compatible with suitable E40 HID lamp holders and reflectors.
600W ballast compatibility - designed to operate with an appropriate 600W HPS ballast.
Strong light penetration - 600W HPS technology provides intense light suitable for established plant canopies.
Cost-effective replacement lamp - a practical option for maintaining existing 600W HID lighting systems.

Dual spectrum lighting for vegetative growth & flowering

Traditional HPS lamps produce a spectrum heavily weighted towards the warmer red and orange wavelengths commonly associated with flowering. Dual spectrum HPS lamps modify this output by introducing additional blue-spectrum light.

This broader output makes the Loadstar Pro suitable for vegetative growth as well as flowering, providing growers with a straightforward full-cycle lighting option without having to change between separate metal halide and HPS lamps.

The lamp remains particularly well suited to flowering applications while the additional blue component makes it more versatile for earlier stages of established plant growth.

Proven 600W HPS technology

High-pressure sodium lighting has been widely used in controlled-environment horticulture for many years. A 600W HPS system produces intense light from a relatively compact lamp and can be paired with a suitable reflector to distribute that light across the crop area.

HID lamps generate considerable heat during operation. Appropriate ventilation, reflector positioning and plant-to-lamp distance are therefore important parts of any 600W HPS installation.

E40 fitting for compatible 600W lighting systems

The Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum Lamp uses an E40 screw base, the common large-format lamp fitting used across many single-ended horticultural HID reflectors.

The lamp requires a compatible 600W HPS ballast. The ballast regulates the electrical supply required to start and operate the lamp and should always be correctly matched to the lamp wattage and type.

Before replacing an existing lamp, isolate the lighting system from the mains supply and allow the old lamp and reflector to cool completely.

Ideal as a replacement 600W grow lamp

HID lamps gradually lose light output through use even when they continue to illuminate normally. Replacing ageing lamps can therefore be an important part of maintaining the performance of an existing HID lighting installation.

The Loadstar Pro provides a straightforward replacement option for suitable 600W HPS systems, particularly where a dual spectrum lamp is preferred for both vegetative and flowering use.

Can I use the Loadstar 600W lamp for vegetative growth?

Yes. The dual spectrum output is designed to make the lamp suitable for vegetative growth as well as flowering.

Can I use the same lamp for flowering?

Yes. Flowering is a core application for HPS lighting, and the Loadstar Pro can remain in use as plants move from vegetative growth into the flowering stage.

What fitting does the Loadstar Pro 600W use?

It uses an E40 screw fitting, commonly found on single-ended HID horticultural reflectors and lamp holders.

Does this lamp need a ballast?

Yes. The lamp must be operated with a suitable ballast designed for a 600W HPS lamp. It must not be connected directly to the mains supply.

Can I fit it into an LED fixture?

No. This is a replaceable HID lamp intended for a compatible 600W HPS ballast and E40 reflector system. It is not an LED replacement component.

Does a 600W HPS lamp produce much heat?

Yes. HID lighting converts a significant amount of electrical energy into heat as well as light, so suitable ventilation and safe clearance around the lamp and reflector are important.

Should I touch the glass when fitting the lamp?

It is good practice to handle HID lamps carefully and avoid unnecessary contact with the glass. Always install or replace the lamp with the lighting system isolated from the mains and completely cool.

Is this a good replacement for an old 600W dual spectrum bulb?

It is suitable as a replacement where the existing lighting system uses a compatible 600W HPS ballast and E40 lamp holder. Always check the ballast and reflector specifications before installation.

£6.85

Please sign in to see pricing

The Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum HPS Lamp is a cost-effective high-intensity discharge lamp designed to provide useful light for both vegetative growth and flowering from a single 600W bulb.

Unlike a conventional flowering-focused HPS lamp, the Loadstar Pro uses a dual-spectrum output that supplements the characteristic red and orange HPS spectrum with additional blue light. This gives plants a broader spectrum and allows the same lamp to be used throughout the main growth and flowering stages.

The Loadstar Pro is designed for use with compatible 600W HID lighting equipment and is suitable as a replacement lamp for existing 600W HPS systems or as part of a new 600W lighting installation.

It provides a straightforward option for growers who want the proven intensity of 600W HID lighting without changing between separate vegetative and flowering lamps.

Why choose the Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum Lamp?

600W HPS lamp - designed for compatible 600W HID lighting systems.
Dual-spectrum output - combines the strong red/orange output associated with HPS lighting with additional blue-spectrum light.
Suitable for vegetative growth - the additional blue component makes the lamp more versatile than a conventional flowering-focused HPS bulb.
Suitable for flowering - retains the strong warm-spectrum output for which HPS lighting is widely used.
One lamp for multiple crop stages - reduces the need to change between separate growth and flowering lamps.
High-intensity lighting - suitable for applications requiring the concentrated output of a 600W HID system.
Replacement lamp option - ideal for replacing an ageing lamp in a compatible 600W HPS lighting system.
Established HID technology - suitable for growers operating existing reflector and ballast-based lighting installations.

Dual spectrum for growth & flowering

Standard high-pressure sodium lamps are particularly strong in the warmer red and orange areas of the spectrum. This makes HPS technology particularly useful during flowering and fruiting, but a conventional HPS spectrum is less balanced towards blue wavelengths.

A dual-spectrum HPS lamp introduces additional blue light while retaining the strong warm-spectrum characteristics of HPS. The result is a more versatile lamp that can support vegetative development as well as flowering and fruiting.

For growers who prefer to run one type of HID lamp throughout the crop cycle, this avoids the need to swap between a separate metal halide growth lamp and HPS flowering lamp.

Suitable applications

Vegetative plant growth
Flowering and fruiting crops
Controlled-environment horticulture
Indoor plant production
Existing 600W HPS lighting installations
Replacement of ageing compatible 600W HID lamps

Using the Loadstar Pro 600W lamp

The Loadstar Pro must be operated with a suitable 600W HID ballast and compatible reflector or lamp holder. The ballast regulates the electrical supply required to start and operate the HID lamp correctly.

Always switch off and isolate the lighting system before fitting, removing or inspecting the lamp. Allow the lamp and reflector to cool fully before handling, as HID lamps and surrounding lighting equipment can become extremely hot during operation.

Ensure the lamp is securely fitted and use only equipment rated for the lamp type and wattage. HID lamps should not be connected directly to the mains without the appropriate ballast.

Replacing older HPS lamps

HID lamps gradually lose useful light output as they age, even when the lamp continues to illuminate normally. This means an older lamp can appear to be working while providing less effective light than when it was new.

Replacing ageing lamps is therefore an important part of maintaining an established HID lighting installation. The Loadstar Pro provides a cost-effective replacement for compatible 600W systems while retaining dual-spectrum operation across both vegetative and flowering stages.

Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar - UVA & UVB Supplementary Light for Zeus LEDs

£50.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar is a dedicated UVA and UVB lighting module designed to supplement compatible Lumatek Zeus full-spectrum LED fixtures during the flowering stage.

Rather than replacing the main full-spectrum light source, the 30W UV Bar adds carefully targeted ultraviolet wavelengths to an existing Zeus lighting system. It combines UV-A from 315-400nm with UV-B from 280-315nm, while producing no UV-C radiation.

The unit has been specifically designed to mount directly onto Lumatek Zeus LED fixtures, creating a clean integrated lighting system without requiring a separate overhead fixture. An integrated 30W driver, passive thermal management and IP65 construction make it a purpose-built professional lighting accessory.

Multiple UV bars can also be connected in series using the separately available Lumatek UV Bar Daisy Chain Cable, with support for up to 30 units in a daisy chain.

Why choose the Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar?

Dedicated UVA and UVB spectrum - supplements full-spectrum LED lighting with targeted ultraviolet wavelengths.
UV-A 315-400nm - provides a substantial UVA component alongside the main lighting spectrum.
UV-B 280-315nm - adds targeted UVB radiation for strategic flowering-stage supplementation.
No UV-C output - designed specifically around UVA and UVB wavelengths.
Developed for Lumatek Zeus LEDs - designed to integrate directly with the Zeus full-spectrum LED range.
30W power consumption - dedicated supplementary output without adding another full-power lighting fixture.
Integrated driver - the LED driver is built into the fixture.
Daisy-chain capability - connect multiple UV bars in series using the appropriate cable.
Up to 30 bars per daisy chain - useful for larger professional installations.
IP65 construction - protected against dust and water ingress for use in appropriate indoor growing environments.
Passive cooling - no cooling fan is required.
140° light distribution - designed to spread supplementary UV across the target crop area.

Targeted UVA & UVB supplementation

Conventional full-spectrum horticultural LEDs concentrate primarily on photosynthetically active radiation. The Lumatek UV Bar extends the lighting programme beyond this conventional spectrum by introducing ultraviolet wavelengths.

The fixture produces UV-A between 315 and 400nm and UV-B between 280 and 315nm. Lumatek specifies output of approximately 12,000mW UVA and 100mW UVB.

Importantly, the fixture is designed specifically for UVA and UVB supplementation and does not produce UV-C radiation.

Designed for strategic flowering-stage use

Lumatek developed the 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar to augment its Zeus full-spectrum lighting systems during flowering rather than to operate as the primary crop light.

Ultraviolet light should therefore be regarded as a controlled supplementary treatment. Exposure duration, distance and crop response all matter, and more UV is not automatically better.

Growers introducing UV supplementation should follow Lumatek's current application recommendations rather than simply operating the bars for the entire main lighting photoperiod.

Designed for Lumatek Zeus LED fixtures

The 30W UV Bar has been designed to fit directly into compatible Lumatek Zeus fixtures. Lumatek recommends using multiple bars to achieve appropriate distribution across the footprint of its larger full-spectrum LEDs.

The manufacturer's recommended arrangement includes a minimum of two 30W UV bars with compatible Zeus fixtures covering larger production areas. The exact number required depends on the Zeus model and installation.

This modular design allows an existing Zeus lighting installation to be upgraded with targeted UV output without replacing the main full-spectrum fixture.

Daisy-chain multiple UV bars

Each UV bar incorporates an input and output connection so multiple units can be linked together in series.

Lumatek specifies daisy-chain capability for up to 30 UV bars. This is particularly useful in larger commercial installations where numerous supplementary fixtures need to be powered in an organised arrangement.

The required 4m power cable and 1.5m UV Bar Daisy Chain Cable are sold separately. This allows the installation to be configured according to the number and position of bars required.

Integrated driver & passive cooling

The Lumatek UV Bar contains its own integrated 30W, 220-240V AC driver, helping keep the installation compact and straightforward.

Heat is managed through a passive heatsink rather than a cooling fan. This removes moving cooling components and allows the bar to operate silently.

Airflow around the fixture should not be restricted. Lumatek warns that excessive heat build-up can significantly reduce the service life of the UV LEDs.

Important UV safety information

This product emits ultraviolet radiation. UVA and particularly UVB require different handling considerations from conventional visible horticultural lighting.

Avoid unnecessary exposure of skin and eyes to operating UV fixtures and follow all safety instructions supplied by Lumatek. The bars should be switched off before carrying out work that would place people directly beneath or close to the UV source.

Do not look directly at operating UV LEDs. Do not connect or disconnect the fixture while it is under electrical load, and allow adequate airflow around the bar during operation.

The IP65 rating does not mean the product is intended for outdoor use or immersion. Lumatek specifies the fixture for appropriate climate-controlled indoor environments.

Lumatek Daisy Chain 5m Control Cable - M12 LED Fixture Link Cable LUMM0015

£5.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Lumatek Daisy Chain 5m Control Cable is the genuine control link cable for connecting compatible Lumatek controllable LED fixtures together in series, allowing multiple lights to receive a stable and precise control signal.

Designed specifically for Lumatek's controllable LED lighting platform, the cable connects the Signal Out port of one compatible fixture to the Signal In port of the next. This allows a row or group of fixtures to be daisy-chained rather than requiring a separate controller connection to every light.

The cable uses M12 self-locking male and female connectors to provide a secure connection between fixtures and has a generous 5 metre length, providing flexibility when positioning lights across larger propagation, nursery and controlled-environment installations.

This is Lumatek product code LUMM0015 and is IP65 rated for additional protection in demanding growing environments.

Why choose the Lumatek 5m Daisy Chain Control Cable?

Genuine Lumatek accessory - designed specifically for compatible Lumatek controllable LED fixtures.
5 metre cable length - provides plenty of flexibility when spacing fixtures within larger installations.
Daisy-chain multiple LED fixtures - links one compatible Lumatek light to the next in the control network.
M12 self-locking connectors - secure male and female connections help prevent accidental disconnection.
Signal Out to Signal In connection - straightforward installation between consecutive compatible fixtures.
Stable control connection - engineered by Lumatek for precise signal transmission without interference.
IP65 rated - designed for additional protection against dust and water ingress.
RoHS compliant - manufactured in accordance with the applicable restriction of hazardous substances requirements.
Professional multi-light installations - particularly useful where numerous Lumatek fixtures need to operate from a central lighting-control system.

Connect Lumatek LED fixtures in series

The Daisy Chain Control Cable is used between compatible Lumatek LED fixtures once the first fixture has been connected to the appropriate lighting controller.

Simply connect the M12 self-locking male plug to the Signal Out connection on the first LED fixture, then connect the M12 self-locking female plug to the Signal In connection on the next fixture.

Additional compatible fixtures can then be linked in sequence using additional LUMM0015 cables, creating an organised control network across a multi-light installation.

Centralised Lumatek lighting control

Daisy-chaining is particularly useful in larger lighting installations because it allows multiple compatible fixtures to receive their control signal through a single linked network.

When used with the appropriate Lumatek controller and compatible LED fixtures, this arrangement allows supported lighting-control functions to be applied across groups of connected lights without individually wiring every fixture directly back to the controller.

Lumatek's Control Panel Plus 2.0 system can control up to 100 compatible fixtures across two zones, with up to 50 fixtures per zone. The exact controller cable and configuration required depends on the version of the Lumatek fixtures and controller being used.

How to install the Lumatek Daisy Chain Cable

Ensure the lighting equipment is switched off before connecting or disconnecting control cables.
Identify the Signal Out connection on the first compatible Lumatek LED fixture.
Connect the appropriate M12 plug from the LUMM0015 cable and secure the self-locking connector.
Run the 5m cable to the next fixture without placing excessive strain on the cable or connectors.
Connect the opposite end to the Signal In connection of the next compatible LED fixture.
Repeat with additional LUMM0015 cables where further compatible fixtures need to be linked.
Check that all connectors are properly seated before operating the lighting-control system.

Control cable, not a driver extension cable

The LUMM0015 should not be confused with Lumatek's LED driver extension cables. This product is specifically designed to link the control signal between compatible LED fixtures.

If the objective is to position a Lumatek LED driver remotely from its fixture, a different Lumatek extension cable is required. Likewise, the cable used between the lighting controller and the first fixture can differ according to the controller and fixture generation.

Check the model and connection ports on existing Lumatek equipment before ordering accessories for older installations.

Built for professional lighting installations

Lumatek specifies the LUMM0015 using UL 2464 3 x 22AWG cable with an IP65 rating. The cable has been designed to maintain a reliable control connection in environments where lighting equipment may operate for long periods under demanding conditions.

The self-locking M12 connectors also provide a more secure connection than a loose push-fit control plug, particularly where multiple fixtures and cables are installed overhead.

How the Lumatek UV daisy-chain system works

A Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar can either receive power directly through its input connection or receive power from the output of another UV bar in the chain.

The first fixture requires the appropriate Lumatek UV LED Bar power cable. A 1.5m daisy chain cable is then connected from the power output of the first UV bar to the power input of the second. Further bars can be added using an additional daisy chain cable between each fixture.

This means a two-bar arrangement requires one daisy chain cable, a three-bar arrangement requires two, and so on. The power cable and daisy chain cables are separate accessories.

Designed for the Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar

This 1.5m cable is specifically intended for Lumatek's 30W UV Supplemental LED Light Bar. The UV fixture incorporates dedicated input and output sockets that allow several bars to be connected together in series.

Lumatek specifies a maximum of 30 compatible UV bars in a single daisy-chain arrangement. Always stay within the manufacturer's stated maximum and use the correct Lumatek power and connection cables for the system.

Simple connection between UV bars

Before connecting the fixtures, ensure that mains power is switched off. Align the connector on the daisy chain cable with the output connection of the first UV bar and push it into place until securely locked. Connect the opposite end to the input of the next UV bar.

Repeat the process for any additional fixtures, using one daisy chain cable for each additional UV bar in the series.

Lumatek specifically advises that UV fixtures should not be connected or disconnected while under load. Always switch off the mains supply before adding, removing or disconnecting fixtures or cables.

How many daisy chain cables do I need?

Number of UV bars	Daisy chain cables required
1 UV bar	None - use the appropriate Lumatek power cable
2 UV bars	1 daisy chain cable
3 UV bars	2 daisy chain cables
4 UV bars	3 daisy chain cables
5 UV bars	4 daisy chain cables

As a simple rule, a daisy-chained installation requires one fewer daisy chain cable than the number of UV bars. The first bar also requires the appropriate Lumatek power cable to connect the chain to its power source.

Please sign in to see pricing

The Maxi Jet Micro 140 - 400 Water Pump is a water pump intended for compatible water-circulation and transfer applications.

Select a pump by the required flow, lift/head, water characteristics and installation rather than model name alone. Actual flow normally falls as head and system resistance increase.

Key benefits

Brand: Maxi Jet
Product type: Water Pump
For compatible water-circulation or transfer systems

Choosing a pump for the system

Start with the flow required at the actual delivery height, not simply the headline free-flow figure. Vertical lift, hose or pipe diameter, bends, valves, filters and fittings all add resistance and can reduce delivered flow.

Confirm the pump is suitable for the water type, solids content, temperature and duty required. Do not assume every water pump is suitable for dirty water, continuous duty or nutrient solutions unless the manufacturer specifies it.

Pipework & flow

Use adequately sized hose or pipe and avoid unnecessary restrictions. Undersized pipework can waste pump capacity through friction loss. Secure connections and support pipework so the pump outlet is not carrying avoidable mechanical load.

Electrical safety

Water and electricity require appropriate protection. Use a suitable supply, RCD protection and connections appropriate to the environment, following the manufacturer's instructions. Isolate the pump before handling, cleaning or servicing.

Maintenance

Inspect the inlet, impeller area, cable and connections periodically. Remove debris according to the manufacturer's instructions and investigate reduced flow before assuming the pump itself has failed.

£476.63

Please sign in to see pricing

The Midi Hose Trolley - Capacity 80m 3/4" is designed for storing, moving and dispensing compatible garden or horticultural hose in professional horticultural, nursery, landscape and garden watering systems.

Correct hose fittings and storage equipment help keep watering systems organised, serviceable and easier to move between working areas.

Key benefits

Product type: Hose Trolley
Designed for storing, moving and dispensing compatible garden or horticultural hose
Source sizes and hose capacities retained
Suitable for professional horticultural watering systems

Hose storage & movement

A hose trolley keeps long hose runs coiled and mobile between watering areas. Do not exceed the stated hose capacity for the relevant diameter, as larger-diameter hose occupies substantially more reel space.

Wind hose evenly across the reel and avoid storing it with severe kinks or twists. Drain excess water where appropriate before long-term storage.

Watering-system setup

Choose hose diameter and fittings according to the required flow, run length and available water pressure. Long hose runs and restrictive fittings can reduce pressure and flow at the watering lance or outlet.

Leak checks & maintenance

Inspect hose ends, seals, couplings and moving trolley parts periodically. Replace split hose, worn seals and damaged fittings rather than accepting persistent leakage.

Storage

Store hose and fittings clean and protected from unnecessary physical damage. Avoid leaving hose tightly kinked or under tension around fittings during storage.

Modiform 1413 PRISTINE Propagation Tray - 240 Cell Plug Tray, 7.5cc Cells

£1.65

Please sign in to see pricing

The Modiform 1413 PRISTINE Propagation Tray is a professional 240-cell plug tray designed for high-density seed propagation and early-stage young plant production. Featuring 240 individual cells with a volume of 7.5cc each, it provides an efficient solution for commercial nurseries and growers looking to maximise propagation capacity within a limited growing area.

Measuring 49cm long x 29cm wide x 3cm high, the Modiform 1413 combines a compact professional tray footprint with a regular 12 x 20 cell arrangement. Each cell provides a separate growing position for a seedling or young plant, allowing growers to establish large batches before transplanting into larger propagation cells or pots.

Manufactured from thermoformed polystyrene (PS), the tray incorporates 7mm bottom drainage holes to help manage excess irrigation water. Its PRISTINE designation identifies Modiform's undyed recycled material concept, which avoids adding colour solely to achieve a uniform cosmetic finish.

The 1413 is particularly suited to professional propagation programmes where efficient use of greenhouse bench space, consistent plant spacing and straightforward batch handling are important.

Why choose the Modiform 1413 Propagation Tray?

240 individual propagation cells - enables high-density production of seedlings and young plants.
7.5cc cell volume - designed for early-stage propagation before plants require larger rooting volumes.
12 x 20 cell arrangement - provides a regular, organised layout for professional crop production.
49 x 29cm footprint - makes efficient use of nursery benches and propagation areas.
3cm tray height - compact format suited to small-cell plug production.
7mm bottom drainage holes - allow excess irrigation water to drain from individual cells.
Approximately 1,689 cells per m² - supports high-density propagation planning.
Individual growing positions - help keep developing root systems separated during establishment.
Thermoformed PS construction - lightweight tray designed for professional propagation.
Modiform PRISTINE material - produced without additional colour dye.

High-density propagation with 240 individual cells

The Modiform 1413 is designed for growers who need to establish large numbers of plants efficiently during the earliest stages of production.

Its 240 cells are arranged in 12 rows of 20, providing a consistent layout across the tray. This makes it straightforward to organise seed sowing, monitor germination and manage young plants as a complete production batch.

Modiform specifies a planting density of approximately 1,689 cells per square metre for this format. This is particularly useful when planning propagation capacity in commercial greenhouses and nurseries where heated bench space can be valuable.

The high cell count makes the 1413 most appropriate for crops that can be established in small propagation volumes before being transplanted into a larger growing format.

7.5cc cells for early-stage root development

Each cell provides approximately 7.5cc (7.5ml) of growing volume. This compact volume is intended for the early development of seedlings and small plugs rather than extended production of established plants.

Small propagation cells allow growers to raise a high number of plants within a relatively small area. However, the limited growing-medium volume means that irrigation, nutrition and transplant timing require careful management.

Once the developing root system has sufficiently established within the plug, plants can be moved into larger cells, pots or other suitable growing containers.

The ideal transplanting stage depends on the crop species, root development, growing medium and intended production programme.

7mm bottom drainage holes

Each propagation cell incorporates a 7mm bottom drainage opening, providing a route for excess water to leave the growing medium.

This is particularly important in small-cell propagation, where maintaining the correct balance between moisture and aeration is essential for healthy root development.

The tray can be used with an appropriate professional nursery irrigation arrangement. Watering frequency and application volume should be adjusted according to the substrate, crop requirements and environmental conditions.

Growers should avoid allowing small plugs to dry excessively while also ensuring that the growing medium does not remain unnecessarily saturated.

Choosing between 240-cell and 360-cell propagation trays

Modiform produces several high-density propagation trays, including the 1413 with 240 cells and the 1426 with 360 cells.

Although both models share a 49 x 29cm footprint, they provide different growing volumes:

Specification	Modiform 1413	Modiform 1426
Number of cells	240	360
Cell volume	7.5cc	5cc
Tray height	3cm	2.4cm
Bottom drainage hole	7mm	6mm
Cells per m²	1,689	2,533

The Modiform 1413 provides 50% more growing volume per cell than the 1426, while the 1426 accommodates 50% more plants per tray.

The most appropriate option depends on whether the priority is maximum plant density or providing additional substrate volume to each developing plug.

Modiform PRISTINE material concept

The Modiform 1413 is supplied in the manufacturer's PRISTINE format.

PRISTINE products are produced without adding colour dye purely to achieve a uniform appearance. Instead, the recycled raw material determines the finished colour of the tray.

As a result, some natural colour variation may occur between production batches. This is a characteristic of the PRISTINE material concept rather than a manufacturing defect.

Modiform's approach forms part of its wider work towards more resource-conscious horticultural packaging and growing products.

Modiform 1426 PRISTINE Propagation Tray - 360 Cell High Density Plug Tray

£1.65

Please sign in to see pricing

The Modiform 1426 PRISTINE Propagation Tray is a professional 360-cell tray designed for high-density propagation and efficient production of small plugs and young plants. Measuring 49 x 29cm with a height of just 2.4cm, it provides a very high number of individual growing positions within a compact nursery tray.

With 360 separate cells, the 1426 is particularly suited to the early stages of professional plant production where maximising the number of plants within the available propagation area is important. Each seedling or young plant occupies its own cell while the complete crop can be handled as a single tray.

The tray is manufactured from thermoformed PS and supplied in Modiform's PRISTINE format. PRISTINE products are made without adding colour purely to create a uniform appearance, allowing the recycled raw material to determine the finished colour of the tray.

Why choose the Modiform 1426 Propagation Tray?

360 individual propagation cells - exceptionally high plant density within a compact tray footprint.
Designed for plug production - ideal for the early propagation stages of compatible crops.
49 x 29cm tray format - makes efficient use of professional propagation and nursery space.
2.4cm tray height - shallow format specifically suited to small-cell propagation.
Individual growing positions - keeps seedlings and young plants separated during establishment.
Efficient bench utilisation - allows a large number of young plants to be propagated within a relatively small area.
Batch handling - 360 plants can be moved and managed together as one propagation unit.
Professional nursery format - suitable for repetitive commercial propagation programmes.
Thermoformed PS construction - lightweight propagation tray for professional plant production.
PRISTINE material concept - produced without additional colour dye.

High-density 360-cell propagation

The defining feature of the Modiform 1426 is its 360-cell configuration. Compared with lower cell-count trays, this format significantly increases the number of individual plants that can be established within the same general propagation area.

This makes the tray particularly useful during early-stage production, when seedlings or young plants require individual growing positions but do not yet need the substrate volume provided by larger plug cells or pots.

For commercial growers, a high-density format can make more efficient use of heated propagation areas, greenhouse benches and other valuable nursery space during the earliest stages of a crop.

Designed for early-stage young plant production

With a tray height of only 2.4cm, the Modiform 1426 should be considered a specialist high-density propagation format rather than a tray intended for holding established plants for extended periods.

The appropriate production period will depend on the crop and growing conditions. Plants should be monitored and transplanted into a larger plug, cell or pot format when they reach the required developmental stage.

Selecting the right propagation tray is therefore a balance between plant density and the growing volume available to each individual plant. The 1426 prioritises maximum propagation density, while Modiform's lower cell-count trays provide progressively greater space for each plant.

Irrigation in high-density propagation

Small propagation cells contain a relatively limited quantity of growing medium, so irrigation management is particularly important. A suitable fine propagation substrate should be selected for the crop, and moisture levels should be monitored regularly during establishment.

Watering frequency will depend on the plant species, substrate, temperature, humidity, airflow and stage of development. The aim is to maintain the moisture conditions required by the crop without leaving the growing medium unnecessarily saturated.

Modiform PRISTINE material concept

The Modiform 1426 is supplied in the PRISTINE format. Modiform uses recycled raw material without adding colour solely to produce a consistent cosmetic finish. The material itself therefore determines the final appearance of the tray.

This means some variation in colour between PRISTINE production batches is normal. The variation is characteristic of the material concept and does not affect the tray's intended propagation function.

Professional propagation applications

High-density plug production	Provides 360 separate growing positions within a compact professional propagation tray.
Seed propagation	Suitable for compatible crops requiring individually separated positions during early establishment.
Young plant production	Designed for early production stages before plants are transplanted or potted on into a larger format.

Modiform 1426 PRISTINE Propagation Tray FAQs

How many cells does the Modiform 1426 have?

The Modiform 1426 contains 360 individual propagation cells, making it one of the higher-density formats for professional plug production.

What are the dimensions of the Modiform 1426?

The tray measures 49cm long x 29cm wide x 2.4cm high.

What is a 360-cell tray used for?

A 360-cell tray is designed for high-density early-stage propagation. It allows a large number of seedlings or young plants to be established individually before they are transplanted into a larger growing format.

Why choose 360 cells instead of a lower cell-count tray?

The main advantage is propagation density. A 360-cell format allows considerably more plants to be raised within a given bench area, while a lower cell-count tray provides greater individual growing-medium and root volume.

Is the Modiform 1426 suitable for long-term growing?

It is primarily an early-stage propagation tray. Plants should be transplanted or potted on when they reach the appropriate stage for the crop rather than being retained indefinitely in the small propagation cells.

What growing medium should be used?

Use a fine, consistent propagation substrate appropriate for the crop and cell size. Moisture retention, drainage and aeration should all be considered when selecting the growing medium.

Does a high-density tray need careful watering?

Yes. Small cells contain relatively little growing medium, so moisture levels can change quickly. Irrigation should be monitored and adjusted to the crop, environment and stage of development.

What does PRISTINE mean?

PRISTINE is Modiform's material concept in which additional colour dye is not used purely to create a uniform appearance. The recycled raw material determines the finished colour of the tray.

Can PRISTINE trays vary in colour?

Yes. Some colour variation between production batches is normal because the appearance is determined by the recycled raw material.

What material is the Modiform 1426 made from?

The tray is manufactured from thermoformed PS, or polystyrene.

Is the Modiform 1426 suitable for professional nurseries?

Yes. Its 360-cell layout is designed for efficient professional propagation where high plant density and economical use of bench space are important.

How many Modiform 1426 trays are supplied per pallet?

The pallet quantity is 1,920 trays.

Modiform 1531 PRISTINE Multitray - 51 Cell Professional Propagation Tray, 90cc Cells

£1.35

Please sign in to see pricing

The Modiform 1531 PRISTINE Multitray is a professional 51-cell propagation tray designed for efficient production of plugs and young plants. Each cell provides 90cc of growing volume, giving growers a useful balance between plant density and individual root space for commercial nursery and propagation work.

Measuring 52.5 x 31.5cm with a height of 5.3cm, the 1531 provides 51 individual growing positions within a practical professional tray format. The cells are arranged in alternating rows of eight and nine, allowing efficient use of the available tray area.

The tray is thermoformed from PS and incorporates a 12mm bottom hole in each cell for drainage. It is supplied in Modiform's PRISTINE format, which avoids the addition of colour dye and allows the recycled raw material to determine the finished appearance of the tray.

Why choose the Modiform 1531 Multitray?

51 individual cells - professional format for propagation and young plant production.
90cc cell volume - provides a useful balance between crop density and individual growing-medium volume.
5.3cm tray height - provides greater cell depth than many high-density shallow plug trays.
52.5 x 31.5cm footprint - practical dimensions for professional nursery and propagation areas.
319 cells per m² - enables efficient use of valuable propagation bench space.
12mm bottom holes - provide drainage from the individual growing cells.
Alternating 8 and 9 cell rows - efficient 51-cell layout across the tray.
Professional nursery format - allows 51 individually separated young plants to be handled as one production unit.
Thermoformed PS construction - lightweight format developed for professional propagation.
PRISTINE material concept - produced without additional colour dye.

90cc cells for young plant production

Cell count and cell volume are both important when selecting a professional propagation tray. The Modiform 1531 combines 51 growing positions with a 90cc volume per cell, placing it between high-density small-cell plug trays and lower-density trays intended for larger young plants.

The additional growing-medium volume available to each plant can provide useful root space during establishment while still allowing 51 plants to be produced within a relatively compact tray footprint.

This makes the 1531 suitable for compatible crops that require more room than a very small plug but do not yet need an individual pot. Plants can subsequently be transplanted or potted on once they have reached the appropriate stage for the crop.

Efficient 51-cell tray layout

The cells are arranged in alternating rows of 8 and 9 cells. This configuration allows Modiform to accommodate 51 individual growing positions efficiently within the 52.5 x 31.5cm tray.

Modiform specifies a density of approximately 319 cells per square metre for this format. For commercial growers, this provides a useful way to plan propagation capacity and compare the 1531 with alternative cell counts.

Each plant remains within an individual cell, keeping its growing medium and developing root system separated from neighbouring plants while the entire crop can still be moved and managed as a single tray.

12mm bottom holes for drainage

Each cell incorporates a 12mm bottom hole. This provides a route for excess irrigation water to drain from the growing medium when the tray is used with an appropriate nursery watering system.

Correct irrigation remains dependent on the crop, substrate, temperature and growing environment. A professional propagation substrate appropriate to the plant being produced should be used, with watering adjusted throughout the crop cycle as root systems develop.

Modiform PRISTINE material concept

The Modiform 1531 is supplied in the PRISTINE format. Rather than adding colour dye to the recycled plastic purely to produce a consistent cosmetic colour, the raw material itself determines the appearance of the finished tray.

As a result, some variation in colour between PRISTINE production batches is normal. This is characteristic of the material concept and does not affect the tray's intended propagation function.

Professional propagation applications

Young plant production	51 individually separated cells allow batches of young plants to be raised within one professional tray.
Plug propagation	90cc cell volume provides more growing space than very high-density small-cell plug formats.
Seed propagation	Suitable for compatible crops raised individually before transplanting or potting on.

The Modiform 1562 is designed for situations where efficient use of propagation space is important. Its 104-cell layout allows a substantial number of young plants to be established within a single 52.5 x 30.5cm tray.

High-density propagation can be particularly useful during the early stages of crop production, when plants require individual rooting space but do not yet need the larger substrate volume associated with pots or lower-density propagation trays.

Once plants have reached the appropriate stage, they can be transplanted or potted on into a larger growing format according to the requirements of the crop.

Efficient young plant production

Professional propagation involves balancing the needs of the individual plant with efficient use of greenhouse, nursery and bench space. The Modiform 1562 provides 104 individual growing positions while retaining the convenience of handling the crop as a complete tray.

This makes it useful for repeat production where consistent plant spacing and efficient handling are important. Trays can be filled with a suitable propagation substrate before sowing seed, inserting compatible cuttings or transplanting young material according to the crop production method.

Irrigation should be adjusted to suit the crop, substrate and growing environment. High-density propagation trays can dry differently from larger pots, so moisture levels should be monitored throughout establishment.

When should you choose a 104-cell propagation tray?

Cell count is an important consideration when selecting a propagation tray. Higher cell counts allow more plants to be produced within the same general bench area, while lower cell-count trays provide greater individual rooting volume.

The 104-cell Modiform 1562 is therefore particularly appropriate where crop density and efficient early-stage production are priorities. For plants requiring substantially greater root volume or a longer period before potting on, a lower-density tray with larger individual cells may be more appropriate.

Modiform PRISTINE material concept

The Modiform 1562 is supplied in the PRISTINE format. Modiform's PRISTINE concept avoids adding colour dye purely to create a uniform cosmetic appearance. Instead, the recycled raw material determines the finished colour of the tray.

Because of this approach, PRISTINE products can display some natural colour variation between production batches. This variation is characteristic of the material concept and does not change the intended horticultural function of the tray.

Professional propagation applications

Modiform 1562 PRISTINE Multitray FAQs

How many cells does the Modiform 1562 have?

The Modiform 1562 contains 104 individual propagation cells.

What are the dimensions of the Modiform 1562?

The tray measures approximately 52.5cm long x 30.5cm wide x 4.5cm high.

What is a Modiform Multitray used for?

Multitrays are designed for professional propagation and young plant production, allowing multiple individually separated plants to be raised and handled within a single tray.

Is the 1562 suitable for plug production?

Yes. Its 104-cell configuration provides a high-density format for producing compatible plug and young plant crops before transplanting or potting on.

Why choose 104 cells rather than a lower cell-count tray?

A higher cell count allows more young plants to be propagated within a given bench area. A lower cell-count tray may be preferable when individual plants require greater growing-medium volume or additional rooting space.

Can it be used for seed propagation?

Yes, for plant species suited to the cell format. Select an appropriate propagation substrate and manage moisture according to the requirements of the crop.

What does PRISTINE mean?

PRISTINE is Modiform's material concept in which additional colour dye is not used. The recycled raw material itself determines the finished appearance of the tray.

Can PRISTINE trays vary in colour?

Yes. Some colour variation can occur because the recycled raw material determines the finished appearance rather than additional colour dye being used to create a uniform finish.

What material is the Modiform 1562 made from?

The Modiform 1562 is a thermoformed PS, or polystyrene, propagation tray.

Is the Modiform 1562 suitable for commercial nurseries?

Yes. It is a professional propagation tray designed for efficient handling and production of large batches of young plants.

Efficient handling for 18 x 9cm low pots

Shuttle trays provide a practical way to organise individual nursery pots during production and distribution. Instead of moving 18 pots separately, the Modiform 1731 allows a complete group of compatible 9cm low pots to be handled together.

This is particularly useful in commercial nurseries where plants may pass through several stages before reaching the customer. Trays can help keep batches organised while plants move between growing areas, grading, order assembly, dispatch and onward distribution.

Commercial growers	Groups 18 compatible 9cm low pots into one practical handling unit.
Nurseries	Useful for moving plant batches between production areas, grading and order preparation.
Plant wholesalers	Provides an organised format for moving smaller container-grown plants through distribution.
Dispatch operations	Helps keep individual pots grouped during order assembly and transport preparation.
Garden centres	Convenient for receiving and handling batches of compatible 9cm plants.

What is a Modiform shuttle tray?

A shuttle tray is designed to carry individual pots within dedicated formed positions. Unlike a multi-cell growing tray where plants are produced directly within the tray itself, the Modiform 1731 is intended to hold separate compatible pots.

This means individual plants remain in their own containers while the shuttle tray provides a convenient way to organise and move them as a batch. It is particularly useful where individual pots need to remain removable for grading, selection, merchandising or sale.

Designed for compatible 9cm low pots

The Modiform 1731 is specifically identified for 18 x 9cm low pots. Using the correct shuttle tray is important because nominal pot diameter alone does not guarantee compatibility between different container profiles.

The exact shape and dimensions of a pot can affect how it sits within the tray. Where the 1731 is being purchased to match an existing pot range, checking the relevant Modiform pot and tray references is recommended.

PRISTINE recycled PS construction

This version of the Modiform 1731 is supplied in the manufacturer's PRISTINE material specification. It is manufactured from 100% recycled polystyrene without dye additives.

The thermoformed construction creates defined positions for each individual pot while keeping the overall tray lightweight for repeated handling throughout professional horticultural operations.

Modiform's use of recycled material within its horticultural packaging range helps reduce reliance on virgin raw materials while maintaining practical formats for commercial plant production and logistics.

Efficient handling for 18 x 9cm high pots

Shuttle trays are widely used in professional horticulture because they allow individually potted plants to be handled in organised groups. The Modiform 1732 provides 18 positions for compatible 9cm high pots, allowing an entire batch to be lifted, moved and organised together.

This can simplify plant movement throughout a nursery or growing operation. Plants can remain in their individual pots while the tray provides a convenient handling format for moving batches between growing areas, grading stations, order assembly and dispatch.

Commercial growers	Groups 18 compatible 9cm high pots into a practical handling unit.
Nurseries	Useful for moving batches between production areas, grading, order preparation and dispatch.
Plant wholesalers	Provides an organised format for moving smaller container-grown plants through distribution.
Order preparation	Individual plants remain in removable pots while being grouped together within the tray.
Garden centres	Convenient for receiving and handling batches of compatible 9cm high pots.

Professional shuttle tray for individually potted plants

The Modiform 1732 is a shuttle tray rather than a multi-cell growing tray. Each position is designed to accommodate a separate compatible pot, so individual plants remain removable while the tray provides a convenient way to handle the complete group.

This is useful throughout commercial production and distribution because individual plants can still be removed for grading, selection, replacement, merchandising or sale without disturbing the remaining plants in the tray.

High format for compatible 9cm pots

The 1732 is the high-format version of this 18-pot Modiform shuttle tray. Its overall height is 9cm and it is designed for compatible 9cm high pots.

This distinction is important when selecting a shuttle tray. Two pots can share the same nominal top diameter while having different heights and profiles, so the correct tray should be matched to the specific pot being used.

Where a lower 9cm pot format is required, Modiform product code 1731 is the corresponding low-format shuttle tray. Checking the exact Modiform product reference helps prevent compatibility problems when ordering replacement trays.

PRISTINE recycled PS construction

This Modiform 1732 is supplied in the manufacturer's PRISTINE material specification. It is manufactured from 100% recycled polystyrene without dye additives.

The thermoformed construction creates the defined pot positions required to organise individual containers while retaining a lightweight format suitable for high-volume commercial horticultural handling.

Modiform's use of recycled raw material within its horticultural packaging programme reduces the requirement for virgin plastic while providing practical tray formats for professional plant production, transport and distribution.

Efficient handling for 15 x 10.5cm low pots

Shuttle trays are designed to simplify the handling of individually potted plants. The Modiform 1742 provides 15 defined positions for compatible 10.5cm low pots, allowing a complete group of plants to be moved and organised together.

This can improve handling throughout commercial plant production. Instead of moving individual containers separately, nursery staff can work with complete trays during routine plant movements, grading, order picking and dispatch preparation.

Commercial growers	Groups 15 compatible 10.5cm low pots into a practical handling unit.
Nurseries	Useful for moving plant batches between production, grading and order preparation.
Plant wholesalers	Provides an organised format for handling individually potted plants during distribution.
Order preparation	Plants remain individually removable while being grouped together within the shuttle tray.
Garden centres	Convenient for receiving and handling batches of compatible 10.5cm plants.

Professional shuttle tray for individually potted plants

The Modiform 1742 is a shuttle tray rather than a multi-cell growing tray. Each formed position accommodates a separate compatible pot, allowing plants to remain in their individual containers while the tray provides a convenient method of handling them as a group.

Individual plants can therefore be removed for grading, selection, replacement, merchandising or sale without disturbing the remaining pots in the tray. This makes shuttle trays particularly useful in commercial production systems where plants need to remain individually manageable.

Low format for compatible 10.5cm pots

The Modiform 1742 is specifically designed for 10.5cm low-format pots. The 8cm tray height reflects the profile required to accommodate this lower pot configuration while keeping individual containers organised during handling.

Matching the correct pot profile is important when selecting a shuttle tray. Pots with the same nominal top diameter can differ in height, taper and overall shape, so a tray designed for one 10.5cm pot format may not necessarily be suitable for another.

Using Modiform product code 1742 when ordering helps identify the exact low-format tray and reduces the risk of confusing it with visually similar shuttle tray configurations.

PRISTINE recycled PS construction

This version of the Modiform 1742 is supplied in the manufacturer's PRISTINE material specification and is manufactured from 100% recycled polystyrene without dye additives.

The thermoformed construction creates defined positions for each individual pot while keeping the tray lightweight for handling in commercial nurseries and plant distribution operations.

Modiform's use of recycled material within its professional horticultural packaging programme helps reduce reliance on virgin raw material while providing practical formats for plant production, handling and distribution.

Modiform 2045 UBP Carry Tray Black - Holds 6 Bedding Packs, 53.4 x 40.4cm

£1.45

Please sign in to see pricing

The Modiform 2045 UBP Carry Tray Black is a professional thermoformed PET carrier designed to accommodate six compatible Modiform Universal Bedding Packs. Measuring 53.4 x 40.4 x 5.7cm, it provides a practical handling and transport solution for commercial bedding plant production, nursery distribution and retail presentation.

The tray is specifically designed for the Modiform UBP 7104, 7106, 7109 and 7112 bedding pack range. Each carrier accommodates six compatible packs, allowing growers to combine individual multipacks into a single organised handling unit.

This universal compatibility is particularly useful for nurseries producing several bedding pack formats. Whether growing four, six, nine or twelve plants per pack, the same carrier can be used to organise and transport the different UBP configurations.

The Modiform 2045 is designed around professional horticultural logistics, with three carriers fitting per Danish trolley shelf and two per Euro shelf. This allows up to 18 individual UBP bedding packs to be accommodated on a Danish shelf.

Manufactured from thermoformed PET, the black carrier features moulded support positions and an open construction that allows drainage water to pass through.

A full pallet contains 1,600 carry trays.

Why choose the Modiform 2045 UBP Carry Tray?

Six-pack capacity - designed to accommodate six compatible Modiform UBP bedding packs.
Universal UBP compatibility - suitable for Modiform 7104, 7106, 7109 and 7112 packs.
53.4 x 40.4cm footprint - practical format for commercial nursery handling.
5.7cm tray height - low-profile carrier designed to support compatible bedding packs.

Compatible with Modiform Universal Bedding Packs

The Modiform 2045 has been developed specifically for the manufacturer's Universal Bedding Pack system. Its six-position layout accommodates compatible packs from four different UBP configurations.

Modiform 7104	UBP 4 Pack - four individual growing cells per pack.
Modiform 7106	UBP 6 Pack - six individual growing cells per pack.
Modiform 7109	UBP 9 Pack - nine individual growing cells per pack.
Modiform 7112	UBP 12 Pack - twelve individual growing cells per pack.

All four UBP formats share the same nominal external footprint of 20.2 x 17.8cm, allowing growers to use the same 2045 carrier regardless of the number of cells within each individual pack.

This is particularly valuable for commercial nurseries producing multiple varieties and pack configurations, as it reduces the need to maintain separate carrier formats for each UBP product.

18 bedding packs per Danish trolley shelf

Modiform specifies three 2045 carriers per Danish trolley shelf. With six UBP bedding packs in each carrier, this provides capacity for 18 individual bedding packs per shelf.

The number of individual plants represented depends on the UBP configuration being transported.

UBP 4 Pack	18 packs per shelf, providing up to 72 individual plants.
UBP 6 Pack	18 packs per shelf, providing up to 108 individual plants.
UBP 9 Pack	18 packs per shelf, providing up to 162 individual plants.
UBP 12 Pack	18 packs per shelf, providing up to 216 individual plants.

These quantities assume every carrier and bedding pack is fully populated. Actual trolley loading arrangements should also account for crop height, foliage spread and the spacing required between shelves.

Efficient handling from nursery to retail

Bedding plants frequently pass through several handling stages before reaching the customer. Packs may be moved from production benches into growing areas, transferred for grading, assembled into customer orders and subsequently loaded for distribution.

The Modiform 2045 allows six compatible UBP packs to be grouped into one carrier, reducing the need to handle every bedding pack separately during suitable nursery operations.

This also provides a convenient counting unit. Ten fully loaded carriers represent 60 bedding packs, while 100 carriers represent 600 packs.

Carriers can be allocated to particular crops, cultivars, colours or customer orders, helping maintain organised batches through picking and dispatch.

Open construction for nursery irrigation

The Modiform 2045 incorporates drainage openings within its moulded carrier structure, allowing water to pass through rather than collecting in a sealed tray.

Modiform specifies 60 drainage openings measuring 12.7mm for this carrier format.

This design is useful where compatible bedding packs remain grouped during suitable nursery irrigation operations.

The carrier is intended for supporting and transporting bedding packs rather than retaining irrigation water. Where run-off needs to be collected, an appropriate drainage or water-retaining system should be used beneath the carrier.

Designed for professional horticultural logistics

Commercial growers	Group six compatible UBP bedding packs into one convenient handling unit.
Bedding plant nurseries	Use one carrier format across the Modiform UBP 4, 6, 9 and 12 pack range.
Crop management	Keep varieties, colours and production batches organised during nursery operations.

Euro shelves	Two carriers per shelf, accommodating 12 compatible bedding packs.
Plant wholesalers	Useful for order assembly, stock checking and organised distribution.
Garden centres	Convenient for receiving, handling and presenting compatible bedding plant packs.

Commercial nursery handling at scale

The Modiform 2045 provides a standardised carrier format for growers producing substantial quantities of bedding plants.

Using the same carrier for four different UBP configurations can simplify stock management, particularly where several bedding pack formats are used within the same production programme.

The known loading quantities also support practical transport planning. Three carriers fit on a Danish shelf, while two fit on a Euro shelf.

A full pallet contains 1,600 Modiform 2045 carriers, providing capacity for up to 9,600 compatible UBP bedding packs when every carrier is fully loaded.

Where carriers remain clean, undamaged and suitable for further use, they can be retained within the nursery for subsequent plant handling operations.

£0.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Modiform 2320 Transplant 40 is a professional 40-cell propagation tray designed for the efficient production of young plants, seedlings and rooted cuttings in commercial nurseries and propagation facilities.

Arranged in a practical 5 x 8 configuration, the tray provides 40 individual growing cells, each with an 83cc volume. This provides useful root volume for young plants while maintaining an efficient plant density across the tray.

The tray measures 52.5 x 30.5cm and is manufactured from polystyrene (PS). Its rigid construction provides the stability required during filling, planting, watering, handling and movement through a professional propagation operation.

Modiform specifically designs the 2320 for young plant propagation. It can be used with different growing media, including conventional loose substrate and compatible Growcoon propagation systems, making it a versatile option for nurseries producing a wide range of crops.

Designed specifically for young plant propagation

The Modiform Transplant range is designed around the requirements of professional young plant production. With 40 defined cells, the 2320 keeps individual root systems separated while allowing a substantial number of plants to be managed as a single tray.

This makes the format useful for both seed-raised and vegetatively propagated material. Plants can establish within their individual cells before being transplanted into larger pots, containers or their final production system.

The consistent cell format also helps growers standardise substrate volume, irrigation and crop handling across each propagation batch.

40 cells with 83cc of growing volume

Each of the 40 cells provides approximately 83cc of growing volume. The tray therefore offers a useful balance between propagation density and individual root-zone volume.

Compared with very high-density plug trays, the larger individual cells give young plants additional space for root development before transplanting. This can be particularly useful where crops need to remain in the propagation tray for longer or where a more developed transplant is required.

Modiform specifies a density of approximately 250 cells per square metre for the 2320 format.

Suitable for loose substrate & Growcoon systems

Modiform confirms that the 2320 Transplant Tray can be used with several growing-media systems, including conventional loose growing media and compatible Growcoon propagation products.

With loose substrate, the individual cells can be filled with an appropriate propagation mix selected for the crop and irrigation system. The defined cell volume makes it easier to maintain consistent filling across a production batch.

Compatibility with alternative propagation systems also makes the 2320 useful for growers looking to integrate the tray into more specialised young plant production methods.

Built for commercial nursery workflows

At 52.5 x 30.5cm, the 2320 is designed as a professional production tray rather than a small domestic seed tray. Its rigid PS construction helps it maintain shape during routine handling and movement around the nursery.

The regular 5 x 8 layout also makes visual crop assessment straightforward. Individual cells can be inspected systematically for germination, rooting, irrigation consistency and general plant development.

Modiform's 2320 tray is also used within automated commercial propagation environments, making it suitable for growers developing efficient, repeatable young plant production systems.

From propagation to potting-on

Once the young plants have developed an adequately established root system, they can be transplanted from the 2320 into their next production stage.

Avoid leaving vigorous crops in the tray substantially beyond the point at which the available root volume is fully occupied. The correct transplanting stage will depend on the crop, propagation method, growing medium, temperature, irrigation and intended next container size.

For best results, transplant while the root ball is sufficiently established to hold the growing medium together but before plants become excessively root-bound.

Modiform 2520 PRISTINE Tree Tray - 28 Cell Deep Propagation Tray, 390ml Cells

£1.82

Please sign in to see pricing

The Modiform 2520 PRISTINE Tree Tray is a professional 28-cell deep propagation tray developed for tree seedlings, shrubs and other nursery crops that require generous rooting volume. Its 53 x 30cm footprint combines 28 substantial cells with a 15cm tray depth, providing considerably more growing space per plant than a high-density plug tray.

Each cell provides approximately 390ml of growing volume, giving young plants space to establish a more substantial root system before transplanting or potting on. The deep, tapered cell profile makes the 2520 particularly relevant to professional tree, forestry and woody plant propagation.

The tray is thermoformed from PS and forms part of Modiform's PRISTINE range. PRISTINE products are produced without additional colour dye, allowing the recycled raw material itself to determine the finished appearance of the tray.

Why choose the Modiform 2520 Tree Tray?

28 deep propagation cells - designed for crops requiring more root volume than conventional small plug cells.
Approximately 390ml per cell - provides a substantial growing volume for each young plant.
15cm tray depth - gives developing roots useful vertical growing space.
53 x 30cm tray format - practical dimensions for professional nursery and propagation use.
Lower-density propagation - fewer, larger cells provide more growing volume per plant.
Suitable for tree seedlings - particularly useful for young trees and woody nursery crops.
Individual cells - keeps each plant's growing medium and root zone separated during propagation.
Professional nursery format - enables 28 plants to be handled and moved as one tray.
Thermoformed PS construction - lightweight propagation tray designed for commercial production.
PRISTINE material concept - manufactured without adding colour dye to the recycled raw material.

Large 390ml cells for stronger young plants

The Modiform 2520 is designed around a relatively low cell count of 28 cells per tray. This gives each plant substantially more growing volume than would be available in a higher-density plug tray of similar overall dimensions.

Each cell holds approximately 390ml of growing medium. The combination of this generous volume and the 15cm tray depth makes the 2520 particularly useful for crops that need to remain in propagation long enough to develop a substantial young root system.

For professional growers, this provides a useful intermediate production format between small plug propagation and individual pots. Plants remain separated into individual cells while the complete batch can still be handled as a single tray.

Designed for tree & woody plant propagation

Young trees and many woody nursery crops can benefit from a deeper propagation container. The 15cm-deep cell profile provides greater vertical rooting space than a conventional shallow plug tray while retaining the production efficiency of a multi-cell format.

This makes the 2520 suitable for applications including tree seedlings, shrubs and other compatible nursery stock. The exact propagation period will depend on species, growing conditions, substrate, irrigation and the required size of the finished young plant.

28 cells for greater individual growing volume

When selecting a propagation tray, cell count should be considered alongside the volume available to each plant. A higher cell count increases the number of plants that can be propagated in a given tray area, while a lower cell count generally allows more substrate and rooting space per plant.

With 28 cells and approximately 390ml per cell, the Modiform 2520 prioritises individual plant volume. This makes it a strong choice where plant development and root space are more important than maximising the number of plugs per square metre.

Modiform PRISTINE material concept

The Modiform 2520 is supplied in the PRISTINE format. Rather than adding colour dye to create a uniform cosmetic finish, Modiform allows the recycled raw material to determine the appearance of the finished product.

As a result, PRISTINE trays can show natural colour variation between production batches. This variation is a characteristic of the material concept rather than a fault with the tray.

Professional nursery applications

Tree seedlings	Deep individual cells provide useful rooting volume for establishing young trees.
Shrubs & woody plants	Suitable for compatible nursery crops requiring more growing volume than a conventional small plug.
Forestry propagation	28-cell format allows batches of young plants to be handled efficiently during nursery production.
Young plant production	Approximately 390ml of growing volume per cell provides useful space for developing plants.

Modiform 2545 PRISTINE Tree Tray - 45 Cell Deep Propagation Tray, 233ml Cells

£1.82

Please sign in to see pricing

The Modiform 2545 PRISTINE Tree Tray is a professional 45-cell deep propagation tray designed for raising tree seedlings, shrubs and other plants that benefit from a generous rooting depth. Each of its 45 individual cells provides approximately 233ml of growing volume within a compact 53 x 30cm nursery tray.

At 15.7cm high, the 2545 is considerably deeper than a conventional shallow propagation tray. Its long individual cells provide developing plants with substantial vertical rooting space, making the tray particularly useful for woody plants, forestry seedlings and nursery stock that will remain in propagation for longer periods.

The tray forms part of Modiform's professional Tree Tray range and is produced in PRISTINE material. PRISTINE products are manufactured without colour dye additives, allowing the recycled material itself to determine the finished colour of the tray.

Why choose the Modiform 2545 Tree Tray?

45 individual propagation cells - arranged in a practical 5 x 9 configuration.
Deep 15.7cm tray - provides substantial vertical space for developing root systems.
233ml cell volume - gives each plant a useful quantity of growing medium for nursery propagation.
53 x 30cm professional format - efficient rectangular footprint for greenhouse and nursery production.

PRISTINE material - produced without additional colour dye, allowing the recycled raw material to determine the tray colour.

Deep cells for tree & woody plant propagation

The defining feature of the Modiform 2545 is its 15.7cm cell depth. Tree seedlings and many woody plants can benefit from a deeper propagation container because the additional vertical growing space allows a larger volume of growing medium around the developing root system.

Each cell has a volume of approximately 233ml. This makes the 2545 particularly useful where plants need more rooting space than is available in high-density shallow plug trays, while still retaining the handling and space efficiencies of a multi-cell propagation tray.

The 45-cell configuration also provides a useful balance between plant density and individual cell volume for nursery crops that require a more substantial propagation unit.

45 cells in a 5 x 9 configuration

The Modiform 2545 contains 45 individual cells arranged 5 x 9 across the 53 x 30cm tray. Each cell has an opening of approximately 5.3 x 5.3cm before extending down through the deep tapered profile.

This regular layout makes it straightforward to sow, organise and monitor batches of young plants. Individual cells keep each plant's growing medium and developing root system separated while allowing 45 plants to be handled as a single nursery unit.

Bottom drainage for professional propagation

Each cell incorporates a 15mm bottom opening. This provides a route for excess irrigation water to leave the growing medium, helping growers manage moisture levels when the tray is used with an appropriate nursery irrigation system.

Correct irrigation will depend on the crop, growing medium, environmental conditions and stage of propagation. The deep cell format should be filled with a suitable propagation substrate and watering adjusted to maintain the required balance between moisture and drainage for the plants being produced.

What does Modiform PRISTINE mean?

Modiform's PRISTINE concept removes the need to add colour dye to the plastic. Instead, the recycled raw material determines the finished appearance of the tray. As a result, some natural variation in colour can occur between production batches.

For professional growers, this provides the same practical propagation format without adding colour purely for cosmetic purposes. It is part of Modiform's wider approach to reducing the environmental impact of horticultural packaging and growing products.

Professional nursery applications

Tree seedlings	Deep individual cells provide useful rooting volume for young trees during propagation.
Shrubs & woody plants	Suitable for nursery crops that benefit from greater cell depth than a conventional shallow plug tray.

Modiform identifies this tray format as NORMPACK 306. Within this format, the manufacturer's 3306 product code identifies the version incorporating bottom holes.

The 300 Series uses a standard 56.2 x 31.5cm external footprint across multiple pot configurations. This allows professional growers and plant distributors to work with different pot sizes while retaining a consistent transport format.

The NORMPACK 306 configuration provides six positions for 17cm pots and an 8cm tray depth, making it one of the larger-pot formats within the series.

Efficient Danish trolley loading

The Modiform 3306 is configured at four trays per Danish trolley shelf. Each tray holds six compatible pots, giving a total capacity of up to 24 x 17cm pots per Danish shelf.

Modiform also specifies two NORMPACK 306 trays per Euro shelf. These standard loading quantities help growers, wholesalers and plant retailers plan trolley and shelf capacity when assembling larger plant orders.

Professional thermoformed PS transport tray

The 3306 is manufactured from thermoformed polystyrene (PS). Modiform's transport tray range is developed around efficient professional plant handling, with the manufacturer using recycled material extensively throughout its tray portfolio.

Thermoformed construction keeps the tray relatively lightweight while providing the shaped pot positions required to organise and support plants during handling and distribution.
