This is from Gavitas site.
Quote:
The Gavita Pro 1000 is the first 240 Volt electronic ballast that powers the professional 1000W 400V EL (electronic) Double Ended lamps. These lamps have the highest PAR light output, improved spectrum and the best light maintenance (>95% PAR light over one year of use). Being the most efficient 1000W horticultural lamps available and the only lamps specifically developed for electronic ballasts this is the 1000W lamp of choice for Dutch professional greenhouse growers. The Gavita Pro 1000 is available as a complete fixture with the highly efficient professional HortiStar HR 96 1000 DE reflector or as a remote ballast. Being completely closed and solid state (no fans) with extremely low heat dissipation the remote ballast can be mounted close to your lamps, enabling safe and easy installation. Having your ballast close to your lamp reduces the amount of EMI (RF interference). Both ballasts are adjustable to 600/660/750/825/1000/1150 watt, enabling them to drive a wide range of EL lamps and boost them 10 or 15%, creating the highest output in the market.

I listened to a dudegrows podcast that had an interview with a rep from gavita. the only things I remember him saying were that the double end lights put out more light than the standard hps but run hotter. heres a link to the podcast the interview with the gavita rep is towards the end of the show. http://dudegrows.com/show-44/
