GrowLite Double Ended Reflector VS Radiant Double Ended Reflector

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).

Double-ended reflectors come in a variety of styles and sizes, including adjustable-wing style reflectors, air-cooled models, and non-air-cooled, but all work on the same principle of reflecting and concentrating the light downward.

Because they concentrate and intensify the light, double-ended reflectors make a grow lighting system more effective and cost efficient. Open-hood, non-vented reflectors will emit more heat from the lamp than the air-cooled models, so this is something to keep in mind when designing your room.

What’s a HPS Grow Light? HPS (High Pressure Sodium) grow light is high-intensity luminosity that is emitted when electrical current passes through a narrow arc tube consisting of Xenon and a mixture of mercury and sodium vapor. HPS technology plays a vital role in cultivating indoor crops today. It involves HPS grow light that come in different shapes and sizes. They commonly get turned on via a pulse start. Note that the light spectrum of the HPS bulbs varies widely between different manufacturers and different lamps alike. HPS Spectrum Output By responding to the particular light spectrum, the plants grow and flourish. This physiological process is called photomorphogenesis. The yield you get at the end of the production cycle largely depends on the spectrum output. With regard to the HPS bulbs , they give off a golden yellow light which maximizes flower and budding production. Those bulbs produce “usable” light that the marijuana plants can utilize. It is referred to as PA...

Are HPS grow lights safe?

What is a HPS grow lights? Before we look at some of the best HPS grow lights in the market, it is good to understand what they are first. HPS stands for high-pressure sodium. HPS light comes in the form of a narrow arc tube held by a wire frame. HPS light contains xenon gas, high-pressure solid sodium and mercury. How HPS light works HPS light works by using ballast, which creates a pulse that stirs the gas in the bulbs or lamps. The ballast first ignites the xenon gas, which in turn generates a flow of electrons. The electrons heat up the arc producing a pale blue light. After this, the arc vapors mercury into gas generating a deeper blue color. Finally, the sodium gas vapors turn the arc into a yellow color spectrum. These are all the colours that provide lighting effects that influence the growth of the crops. All the colours have different wavelengths depending on the gases inside them. Majority of the HPS bulbs are ideal for the FLOWERING phases of the crops because of their ora...
