FREE SHIPPING SPECIAL on ALL HID Bulbs! Look for our quantity deals on cases of grow bulbs to save even more! Click on the type of bulb you are looking for below or scroll down for some helpful information on choosing the right light Discount Plant Grow Lamps / Bulbs Plants need light for proper growth. The light spectrum range produced by artificial light (particularly H.I.D. light) enhances the natural light derived from the sun by many times over. The result... when combined with proper nutrients... is nothing short of AMAZING! Your style of gardening will determine which type of light is best for you. But whichever model you choose, you can be assured that your investment into the lighting technology used by the professionals will be rewarded by increased, nutrition packed yields, lovelier flowers and healthier plants!
Which Lamp is Best for Your Growing Needs?Most (but not all) of the grow bulbs listed in the categories above require a grow light and will not work on standard household lamps/sockets. So, the type of bulb you need will partly depend on the type of grow light that you have. Here is some helpful information that may help you decide which replacement bulb will work best for your situation, or even what type of grow light to buy... Metal Halide Lamps Metal Halide (MH) bulbs emit a light spectrum which appears blue-white to the human eye. This color spectrum is more conducive for vegetative growth, or starting seeds and cuttings. High Pressure Sodium Lamps High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs emit a spectrum which is more concentrated in red/orange light. This color is ideal for the fruiting and flowering stage of a plant's development. It is a good multi-purpose light as well. MH and HPS bulbs are also available in enhanced performance, full spectrum light for all stages of plant growth. Conversion Lamps There are two(2) types of conversion lamps:This type of lamp allows you to tailor the light source to the growth stage of the plant (again, using metal halide light for growth and high pressure sodium light for flowering/budding) merely by changing lamps. Note: Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium are referred to as "High Intensity Discharge" (HID) Lamps. Flourescent Lamps Traditional T12 and T8 fluorescent lighting is simply not powerful enough to light an area more than 8-10 inches below the bulb. With the recent introduction of the highly efficient T5 technology, T5 linear fluorescent fixtures can now put out a respectable 92.6 lumens per watt. T12 lamps typically put out about 30 lumens per watt. Our T5 fluorescent lamps are excellent for starting seeds and cuttings, but are also able to produce enough light for full term growth. Because of their minimal heat output, they can be placed very close to the plant canopy to maximize the light output. Note that T5 bulbs must be used in T5 lighting fixtures, T12 bulbs in T12 lighting fixtures, and so on. We also carry CFL compact fluorescent grow bulbs in full spectrum daylight and red/orange spectrum warm for enhanced flowering and fruiting.
