The price listed is for HV

NON HV is not available in North America unless specifically requested, so if you order a Mitras it will automatically be HV
HV in the LED world for reef tanks with all makes of LED lights is classed as UV as it catches the upper end of the spectrum of UV component. However to have a full on UV component Under (380nm) in an LED fixture could be very dangerous as it is invisible to the human eye. The UV component most LED systems now offer is between 380-420nm this is what is referred to as UV reef tank LED lights.

GHL coined the phrase Hyperviolet as light produced is in the visible part of the UV component and thus a more accurate term in their view.
