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.

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.
