Light Weight Self Ballasted Bulb
Design
This unique
fixture is simple to hang with
included chain bails on the back!
Includes 400 watt
HPS
bulb, a 2nd
MH
conversion bulb is only $30 extra
for
dual spectrum use.
When you need Dual Spectrums (HPS/MH):
HPS
bulbs usually
make more light energy than
metal halide
(MH) lamps. However, the
orange
HPS
(identical to street light)
HPS
spectrum is defective so that it
produces unnatural lanky growth. On
the other hand, natural white light
metal halides produce lush compact
growth with lots of leaves. So a
good strategy is to start under
metal halide until the plant is
nearly fully grown. Then you
, and
switch to the higher light energy
HPS
bulb for
budding, fruiting, and flowering.
ALL NEW! -
When will you see a brand new light
for so
little money?
We are not
recycling used up warehouse lights
and passing on a potentially bum
ballast.
You wouldn’t
buy used spark plugs, would you?….
So why buy a
discarded light fixture that
someone
“refurbished” into a grow
light?
Light fixtures don’t last
forever. Eventually the ballasts
blow out. That’s why we use all new
ballasts, lamps, and electricals of
the highest quality. Yet some guys,
looking for the quick buck, buy up
discarded industrial light fixtures
and convert them into grow lights--
calling them “refurbished”.
In general, you are looking for
trouble if you buy a grow light made
from discarded HPS fixture. The high
voltage pulsing created when
starting HPS lamps is very hard on
the ballasts, especially since
industrial lights are most often
used in hot high ceilings.
Consider where these discarded
light fixtures come from. As
ballasts fail, its reaches a point
where it’s cheaper to buy all new
light fixtures than fix the old. As
many customers complain, it’s often
cheaper to buy a whole new light
fixture than buy a replacement
ballast. It is simply not cost
effective to hire high priced
electrical contractors or rent lifts
to maintain fixtures.
Savvy building owners often evade
waste disposal regulations by
dumping their old light fixtures for
cheap rather than recycle them. So
there is a ready supply of nearly
burned out light fixtures available
for you to buy as “refurbished” grow
lights.
Reused HPS fixtures are
especially troublesome because they
are so old. HPS was a very common
industrial light source about 15
years ago. It’s very efficient but
makes an orange light. Eventually
people have recognized that you just
can’t see as good and concentrate as
well under orange light as you can
under white light. And very high
energy efficiency white light
sources were developed. So around
these parts, factories stopped
installing these lights about 10
years ago. To me it seems likely
that if you buy a refurbished
(reused) HPS grow light, you are
likely getting something that has
had at least a decade of hard
industrial use.
