DE DUAL 600×2
With the New Nanolux DE Dual fixture (600Wx2), we have split our 1200W DE into two 600W lamp outputs. This allows the fixture to run both a 2K DE HPS lamp and our brand new double jacketed 6K MH DE lamp, or the optional 4K MH DE lamp (sold separately).

This dual lamp combination provides a spectrum that is unmatched by any other existing HID technology currently on the market. The spectral output of the 6K DE MH lamp combination with the 2K DE HPS lamp provides additional blue light that benefits your plant.



This fixture provides a very comprehensive PAR spectrum while pumping out 1200W of the most powerful light. Use any combination of DE lamps to create the spectrum the plants desire!

This fixture is commercial grade in its design quality and durability. The Nanolux DE Dual Fixture (600Wx2) is NCCS ready. NCCS (Nanolux Cloud Control System) is one of the many technologically advanced features offered exclusively by Nanolux. With NCCS, you will be able to control up to 999 lights on your computer. Like all Nanolux ballasts, the DE Dual Fixture comes with random start technology. Random start uses an algorithm that will start the ballast within a 0-15 second window. This allows for less initial power draw when using multiple ballasts.

Layout of the lamps must be the same for each fixture For example, HPS lamp in left socket and MH lamp in right socket. This is to be the same for all fixtures running. This ensures proper mixing of spectral output to make an even overlapping light pattern in commercial applications.



  • NCCS ready – DTU and RTU sold separately

  • Patented and exclusive ceramic receptacles (no melting plastic)
  • Compatible with all DE Lamps
    (only use lamps rated for open luminaires)
  • Slow soft start, open circuit and low voltage protection
  • 3 Year warranty on fixtures and 1 year warranty on lamp
Input voltage 208/220/240Vac, 6 AMP max draw
Input frequency 50/60Hz – output frequency 85-105kHz
THD <10%, PF > .99, CF <1.7,-Ta = 30°C (86°F), Tc = 65°C (149°F)
Weight 17.8 lbs
Dimensions 13.9”X26.1”X4.1”
Sealed ballast enclosure – NO FAN
BTU output of fixture 1200W – 5040BTU

Plus the obvious point that you have two lamps in close proximity to each other there is only so much light a plant can take in before it stops growing. If a 600 covers a 4x4 why wouldn't you want 2 covering a 4x8 area that thing clearly will not do that. Looks to me like some hyped up garbage to try and beat LEDs which cannot be done period

i like the idea but i think the lamps are too close together.i run a 60/40 mix of hps and mh but i have them spaced mostly 36 to 42 inches apart.i wish they woulda split em up some more or even put them on a slight angle away from each other.i seen that fixture up close and i just think its too much light in one spot.maybe i would buy one if it was 2 x 400w lamps

Been a minute since I've been on here was wondering the same thing. I'm a Gavita guy, also use Fluence Bio they are great. Gavita being bought by Monsanto does not sit well with me. Anyone tested out the Nano duel de??????

Old post but I run 2 of them with the bulbs provided in my flower room and love them. I rotate my girls under them every other day so they get both spectrums evenly. Have been running them for 6 months with no complaints.

Meh, how much does it cost?
500 dollars seems like an OK price, though 400 would have been better.

HPS is still OK, but by this point it's just a stopgap.
Same goes for current LED lights though since the tech is still rapidly improving.

In 2 years current LED lights will probably be just as obselete as that dual HPS.

It isn't a bad way to spend 500 dollars, it will grow fine.
