Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 03 and October 05.
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 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.
