Maxibright Varidrive 500W/1000W LED
The Maxibright Varidrive 500W/1000W LED is a unique, high-performance grow light built for growers who want serious output with maximum flexibility. Designed as part of the next-generation Varidrive range, this fixture delivers intense, full-spectrum light alongside intelligent dual-mode functionality, allowing you to run it as a single 1000W unit or split it into two independent 500W LEDs.
With a total photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) of 2700 µmol/s and an efficacy (PPE) of 2.7 µmol/J, the Varidrive 500W/1000W LED provides powerful, efficient coverage across canopy areas from 1.2 x 2.4m up to 1.8 x 1.8m. This makes it well-suited to both indoor grow rooms and greenhouse environments where consistent, high-quality light is essential for plant development and yield.
Each half of the fixture features a fully integrated driver, removing the need for external ballasts, whether you’re running the unit as a full 1000W light or as two separate 500W fixtures. The split design gives you the freedom to adapt your lighting layout to suit different grow spaces, while the modular system allows you to link additional units as your setup expands.
Onboard dimming from 25-100% provides straightforward control over light intensity at every stage of growth, and RJ ports ensure compatibility with external lighting controllers for more advanced setups. Passive cooling means the unit runs silently, with no fans required, helping to maintain a stable growing environment.
Built with practicality in mind, the Varidrive features an 8-bar frame measuring 1040 x 1090 x 40mm and weighing 7.6kg, making it easy to install and position. Its plug-and-play design ensures a straightforward setup, whether you’re upgrading an existing system or starting fresh.
