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?
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.
Conversion Lamps
There are two(2) types of conversion lamps:
HPS Lamps which run on MH ballasts.
MH Lamps which run on HPS ballasts.
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.
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: Halide and High Pressure Sodium are referred to as "High Intensity Discharge" (HID) Lamps.
