No Reserve Auction

If you are interested in growing vegetation, we hope that we can help you out. This lamp puts out light in the critical blue region needed for strong stalks and chutes. It should make sense that plant receiving plenty of diffuse light from the blue sky doesn’t need to grow taller. Instead they should concentrate on bushing out.

This auction is for a new 400 watt conversion bulb. It will make more natural white light on your existing orange light , HPS (High Pressure Sodium) fixture.

Don’t get burned with the so called switchable grow lights. Normal metal halide bulbs and HPS bulbs operate on different voltages (310 volts & 215 volts). Switching an igniter in and out will either fry electrodes and prematurely burn out ballast coils with one lamp, or seriously under drive one of the lamps. This underpowered lamp dims and loses efficiency. (Light output drops faster than wattage reduction.)

Weused to sell a lot of ballasts to a store owner that insisted on using metal halide lamps on HPS ballasts.

However, the metal halide bulb in this auction is specifically designed to operate on an HPS ballast. It will withstand the high voltage kickstart that a sodium fixture delivers.

Please notice that this is not a big honking bulb that is too big to fit in your fixture. Standard 400 watt metal halide bulbs are like small footballs. This bulb is about the same size as a standard 400 watt HPS bulb. Most importantly, the bulb’s arc tube is in the same place. So a reflector optimized for an HPS bulb will work great with this lamp!

Thanks for your interest. Please check our store for all your lighting needs.
