LEVEL LADDER
The Phantom DE Low Profile Lighting System is a high-intensity horticultural lighting system that
is an excellent choice for a range of applications. It combines a Phantom double-ended reflector
with a variable-wattage Phantom DE Low Profile ballast and a PHANTOM PRO DE high-pressure
sodium lamp. This powerful and versatile commercial-grade system allows users to select the most
appropriate light intensity level for their particular setup.
This system is able to be operated remote or attached, and is available in both open and enclosed
reflector configurations. Both are made from multifaceted 95% reflective European hammertone
aluminum.
• Enclosed System (PHDESK12L): The enclosed-form reflector provides downward-focused
output that maximizes light intensity. This provides ideal canopy illumination and uniformity
of coverage, making it the ideal reflector for many applications.
• Open System (PHDEOK12L): The open-form reflector delivers uniform growth over a broad
footprint. The louvered top effectively dissipates heat while operating DE bulbs at ideal
temperatures for maximum light output and lamp life.

LAMP INSTALLATION
NOTE: Please wear gloves in order to protect the DE lamp envelope from skin oils, which can
be damaging to the lamp.
Do not apply excessive force when installing lamp.
IMPORTANT: The lamp must be oriented so that the high voltage wire end/lead (the end near
the getter, which is the small square tab attached to the wire loop) is installed in the socket end
closest to the ballast as seen in DIAGRAM A.
NOTE: Lamp shown below is for general reference only; actual lamp included may vary.

DIAGRAM A
1. Before installing the lamp, make sure it is oriented so that the
burner filament (the long wire that runs along the full length of the
arc tube) is positioned upward, facing the top inside surface of the
reflector, as seen in DIAGRAM A.
2. Ensure that the wire ends/leads are not bent or frayed, as this will
prevent proper installation. The wire ends should be straight as
shown in PHOTO A.
3. Open both lamp holders by sliding them outwards and away from
the center of the fixture, as shown in PHOTO B.
4. Install the double-ended lamp within the lamp holders shown below
in PHOTOS B, C & D.
PHOTO B PHOTO DPHOTO C
5. The wire ends/leads must be fully seated as shown (PHOTOS E & F) before sliding each
socket end closed.

LAMP INSTALLATION, continued
6. After sliding the socket ends closed, be certain that there is no gap between the edge
of the sliding section and the part it meets at the end of the slide path. Once lamp is
positioned correctly, slide the lamp holder inward toward the center of the bulb to secure
and lock the lamp in place as shown in PHOTOS G & H.
PHOTO G PHOTO H
PLEASE NOTE: Do not force the lamp holders closed. This could cause damage to both the
lamp and lamp holders. Do not handle lamp with bare hands. Always wear surgical or cloth
gloves whenever possible when handling lamp to minimize fingerprints and oils left on the
lamp. If the lamp needs cleaning after installation, use a soft dry cotton cloth to wipe off
fingerprints/skin oils.
HANGING YOUR FIXTURE
IMPORTANT: Before you begin, make sure your light system is unplugged.
IN A GREENHOUSE SETTING
1. Simply place the hook-like curved end of the included wire hanger through the eye bolt in
the top rear part of the ballast housing with wire end facing inward toward reflector.
2. Then place the curved end of the other wire hanger through the hole in the nose of the
armature with wire end facing inward toward reflector and ballast. Hang the truss hangers
and system on the truss in the desired location.

HANGING YOUR FIXTURE, continued
IN A GROW ROOM SETTING
We recommend using the rachet/carabiner method of hanging.
1. Install two eye screws or J-hook screws (not included) approximately 24" apart in a stable
ceiling or structural surface. If available, ceiling joists are best. If you can’t use joists, insert
expansion anchors into the ceiling. Be sure to use anchors and hooks rated to hold at least
50 lbs each.
2. Tie the ends of the hangers’ lines to your hooks in the ceiling, then hook the carabiners
through the eye bolt in the ballast housing (1) and the hole in the armature nose (2).
3. Adjust the hanging height of the fixture to your desired height using the rachet. We
recommend our Hydrofarm heavy Duty Light Riser (item HLH1002).
• The lamp may require 10–30 minutes cooling time before restarting.
• After you plug the reflector in, the bulb may require several minutes to reach its full brightness.
In the event of a momentary power interruption, the bulb will not restart immediately.
• Some variation in the color of light emitted by the bulb is not unusual, especially in the first
100 hours of operation.
• Never pull the cord to unplug the reflector, pull the plug only.
• Avoid scratching the bulb, subjecting it to undue pressure, or getting it wet when it is hot;
these actions may cause the bulb to break.
• In the event of bulb breakage, immediately unplug the reflector to prevent exposure to
ultraviolet energy, which may be harmful to eyes and skin.
• Keep room temperature below 95°F, with adequate air circulation by fan in the growing area.
• The DE lamp produces very high-intensity light and was originally designed for commercial
growing operations. Please take care to consider proximity to plants when installing your
fixture. You may want to allow more vertical space between the plant canopy and the fixture
to mitigate the high-intensity light and heat in the plant area.
• Always use a heavy-duty 3-pronged grounded timer, rated for at least 15 amps. Many 7-day
digital timers are not rated for 1000W lamps. Unplug ballast when changing or removing the
lamp. Failure to do so can cause ballast failure or improper diagnosis.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLLERS
When setting restrike delays with your environmental controller, it is best to set a restrike delay at 20
minutes or longer to prevent constant restrikes throughout the day.
When installing your controller, it is best to program the controller for a staggered start with 40
luminaires or fewer on each start.
It is best to use special HID relays and high inrush circuit breakers to ensure proper performance.
For optimum performance, lighting sub-panels should have a fan installed to prevent high heat of
the sub-panel.
AUTOPILOT PX2 CONTROLLER
NOTE: Phantom LP system uses ANALOG 0–11.5V control protocol.
Please ensure you select ANALOG when using with compatible PX series controllers.
The Autopilot PX2 Controller is designed to work with the Phantom Commercial DE Electronic
Ballast. Follow the PX2 Controller instructions for proper operation and to avoid ballast damage.
Typical setup for the PX2 Digital Lighting Controller is shown below.

IMPORTANT: Do not attach data link cables to AC power cable. Always keep low voltage data cables and high voltage AC
power harness as far as possible from each other for stable signal transmission. Avoid coiling data cables as well as AC
harnesses in tight coils. Excess cable should be managed by creating long loops as opposed to tight coils.

The multi-color status LED provides
information on the status of the ballast
with respect to its connection to a
controller and its general operating
condition, and also gives error and
warning signals. Consult the tables at
right to interpret the status LED.
• All operating codes are
represented by GREEN signals.
• All warning codes are represented
by RED signals.
• All history codes (except the ignition code) are represented by YELLOW signals.
• BLACK dots in the diagrams represent the unlit LED.
• Warning codes and history codes override operating mode display.
LED signals are represented by colored dots in the diagrams in the table. In the STATUS
INDICATIONS table, the green dots do not represent individual flashes; instead they
represent the duration that the LED is illuminated green. Each dot shown in both diagrams
represents one half second. For example, the “Ballast on” signal is shown as a black dot and
then four green dots. This indicates a dark (unlit) LED for one half second and then a long
green flash lasting two seconds.
In the ERROR OR WARNINGS INDICATIONS table, the individual colored dots do represent
individual flashes (black dots represent time that the LED is unlit between flashes). They also
represent the relative time duration of signals (each dot still represents one half second).
For example, the“Too high voltage” signal is shown as two red dots followed by two black
dots. This indicates two red flashes of one half second each followed by one second of a dark
(unlit) LED.
