HPS grow lights

DE lighting systems use a high-intensity bulb with connectors on either end that snap the bulb into place on the double-ended reflector. This is opposed to the single-ended system in which an Edison-style bulb is screwed into a socket. If you are using double-ending lighting and opt to use reflectors (as is recommended in almost all scenarios), a compatible DE reflector will have to be used. The bulbs of a DE lighting system run between 750-1,000 watts, but are very efficient to operate. A double-ended reflector intensifies and concentrates the lighting onto the objects or plants it is illuminating instead of allowing the light to bounce up towards the ceiling where it is of little use. DE reflectors and lights can be strung into a line that operates from one electrical source, making set up easier. The reflector and light combination produces and concentrates more ultraviolet and infrared light for the plants because they operate at a higher frequency than SE (single-ended lighting...

LUMATEK TEKKEN PRO 1000W DE HPS FULL-KIT The Lumatek 1000W 400V DE lamp is produced using high-grade ceramic arc tube technology and specific horticultural gas blend that creates optimal spectral output for healthy plant growth. Double-ended HPS lamps are more stable than traditional, single-ended HPS lamps and this allows them to have a 10% increase in light intensity and PAR/PPF output. The increased light intensity also enables the lamp to be positioned further from plant canopy increasing light footprint & light uniformity if desired. The PCA ceramic arc tube permits the lamp to operate at higher internal temperatures increasing colour rendering, output and efficiency. PCA resists interaction with the chemicals inside the tube which stabilizes the chemical mix over the life of the lamp, thereby improving colour consistency and PAR/PPF level maintenance. Pulse-start technology enables faster start up & restrike time, longer lamp life and increased lumen maintenance. The L...

250W MH/HPS grow light Coverage Area: 2′ x 2′ (0.6m x 0.6m) up to 2.5′ x 2.5′ (0.8m x 0.8m) How Far From Plants? Keep 10+ inches (25cm) away from tops of plants Average Yields: 125 – 250 g (4 – 8 ounces) – less for beginners, more for the pros – get the biggest yields by filling the entire grow area with a wide even canopy and remember that the strain (genetics) you grow with also makes a huge difference in your final yields Notes: Some (but not all) 250W MH/HPS have a “Built-In Ballast,” which means everything is actually attached together and you just plug the light directly into the wall. Some 250W HPS lights have a traditional ballast, which means that the ballast is a separate piece from the hood/reflector. In general, it’s better to get a light where the reflector is separate from the ballast – they are more efficient, cooler, and spread their light over a bigger area. 400W MH/HPS  grow light Coverage Area: 3′ x 3′ (0.9m x 0.9m) up to 3.5′ x 3.5′ (1m x 1m) How Far Fr...
