Fluorescent Light Control Units
  Lighting Control Units for the operation of standard T8 & T12 linear fluorescent lamps  
 
Hagen Glomat Starter Units
 
Hagen Glomat Starter Units
HAGEN introduces the new Single Glo and Double Glo Fluorescent Light Control Units.

They make it easy and convenient to either use or supplement with fluorescent lighting in a wide variety of applications, including aquariums, terrariums, vivariums and seed germination enclosures.

Single Glo uses a modern looking vented ballast cover that protects cabinets and canopies from excessive heat.

Double Glo uses a state-of-the-art electronic ballast for cool, quiet application.

Both have water-resistant end-caps, preventing damage caused by moisture or splashing water. The conveniently located mounting bracket permits safe and neat placement of the ballast.

By mounting the unit externally, away from the bulbs, there is a reduction of heat build-up commonly associated with conventional canopies.

The control unit can be used with or without an external timer, making it possible for complete control of any lighting system.

A single control unit to run two fluorescent lamps, each one the same wattage as marked on the unit.

The wattage shown is the wattage of each of the two lamps that can be fitted to the unit, i.e. Glomat 2 20W will take 2 x 24" 20w fluorescent lamps

To fit 1 inch (26mm) diameter fluorescent tubes only

Customer Notice:

Please note the correct connection of the lamp leads as shown on the control unit outer casing. If you connect both leads from one end of the unit to both ends of the same tube, the tube will just flash on start up and not light up

The tube end caps are now also colour coded to aid the fitment of the correct lead/end cap to the correct tube

If you do connect wrongly, then tubes just flash on and immediately go off

Please also note that the control unit requires both tubes to be fitted to make it work. Will not fire up if only one tube fitted

Arcadia Ultra Seal Fluorescent Single Light Control Units
 
Arcadia Ultra Seal Fluorescent Single Light Control Units
New : with IP67 Waterproof lampholders

  • Meets NEW European lighting standards(IP67)
  • Recommended for running fluorescent lamps over aquariums and terrariums
  • Complete with new improved Ultra Seal waterproof lampholders
  • Supplied with exclusive Arcadia universal mounting brackets
Taking the extremely popular fluorescent controller, Arcadia has now developed new ULTRA SEAL® lamp holders to ensure that this product complies with new lighting safety requirements and to provide a greater flexibility for positioning the product by the use of longer lamp leads. Featuring a uniquely designed lamp holder ring design, which is totally waterproof.


The new ULTRA SEAL lamp holder design features a unique two-piece ring, which requires no additional water seal, or “O Ring”, this greatly assists in the ease of replacing lamps and ensures that the lamp holders are 100% watertight.

For additional safety they have reduced the mains lead length and increased the lamp holder leads to ensure greater flexibility in positioning the controller away from the water’s surface and for those aquarium set-ups that need additional lamp holder leads.

Each unit will operate a SINGLE lamp of the corresponding wattage
