Hydrofarm Lock & Seal Lamp Cord for Remote Ballast HID Installs
The Lock & Seal cord at 25 ft (SKU CSXCORD25) is the longest run in the Hydrofarm Lock & Seal lamp cord family. It is sized for remote-ballast installs where the ballast lives in an adjacent room, attic, or service corridor. The 16/3 600V cable handles 1000W single-ended HPS or MH lamp loads. Lock & Seal is the Hydrofarm proprietary waterproof plug used across Phantom, Xtrasun, and Raptor reflectors. This cord drops directly into existing Hydrofarm-family rooms. At 25 ft you sit at the practical ceiling of HID ignitor range for older magnetic ballasts. Run one continuous 25 ft length, not a 5 ft and a 15 ft chained together.
Twenty-Five Foot Lamp Cord Between Lock & Seal Reflector and Remote Ballast
Growers typically place the ballast in a separate utility room or attic to dump heat outside the flower space. Pull this 25 ft cord through a ceiling penetration to the reflector above the canopy. The HID ignitor range warning matters here. Some HID systems may fail to strike a cold lamp at 25 ft. Test the strike on each fixture during commissioning before relying on the run. Budget for a long-range ignitor or a digital ballast upgrade if any lamp fails to fire. The Lock & Seal plug holds against humidity in flower rooms running active misting at lights-out.
