The AC/DE's patented and patent pending design allows removal of heat generated by the lamp without cooling the lamp below proper operating temperature.

This video compares the AC/DE, GRO1 DE and the Phantom DE double ended air cooled reflectors. We test PAR performance, lamp temperatures at various fan speeds and how air passing over a double ended lamp affects ballast output amperage.

AC/DE's patented sealed optic technology allows removal of heat generated by the lamp without cooling the lamp. Made specifically for double ended 1000 watt HPS horticulture lamps (not included). Unique double ended construction allows for maximum optical efficiency and uniformity. Full spectrum DE lamps used in this fixture focus on the red component for increased photosynthetic response. They offer improved PAR values and increased PAR/lumen maintenance (up to 90% PAR at 10,000 hours of operation).
