Adding Blue Light to HPS (High Pressure Sodium) Makes Plants Grow at Full Throttle

HPS is the work horse of most grow light systems. It produces the highest light flux using the least amount of energy. It has one main disadvantage: the dismal production of blue light. Blue light provides a critical signal that produces lush compact growth. It gets the plant through the vegetative phase with maximum growth.

Blue light activates crypto chrome pigments that stimulate correct vegetative growth. It decreases the spacing between leaves so you get compact, bushy plants. Take a look at the photo and see how lack of blue light stunts plant growth!

For this reason, growers often start plants under metal halide lights which have higher blue content. Later they switch to HPS to take advantage to it’s higher light energy content. The problem with using metal halide bulbs is that you sacrifice light output. Metal halide bulbs start out dimmer and lose output fast.

At 40% of rated life, 400 watt metal halide bulbs typically only make 23,400 to 26,000 lumens of light. At the same point a 400 watt HPS bulb is making 45,000 lumens. Starting plants under metal halide results in a 42% loss of light. This means plants will be smaller.

Now you don’t have to comprise. You can use your HPS fixture and then just add our blue high output Fluorescent. Keep your plants growing at full throttle!

Blue Enhanced HPS Bulbs are Not the Answer

To over come the deficiencies of HPS bulbs, some manufacturers adulter bulbs with blue light emitting metals. These bulbs still make trivial amounts of blue light. Sure, they are often bragged up as making "30% more blue light", but 30% of nothing is still nothing!

"Blue" Metal Halides are not really Blue

Other venders promote the so called "blue" metal halide bulbs. If you study these super expensive bulbs, you will find that they are not a blue bulb at all. They are more of a 5500K to 6500K "daylight" bulb.

Only a portion of the power of the metal halide lamp is actually blue as shown below

Blue Fluorescents are the most Energy Efficient!

The best way to make blue light is with fluorescents! HID bulbs are just not very good at making blue light.

Just with standard daylight 6500K or 5000K bulbs, our fixture makes 76% of the average lumens of a 250 watt hortilux blue. But it only uses 40% of the energy to do it!-- That’s 90% more light for the money.

It’s gets even better when you switch to the blue fluorescent bulbs. You get the most blue light for the least amount of money!

It's a Bright Great Grow Light

This is an electronic high output T8 3 tube, 4’ fluorescent grow light with Mirror like aluminum reflector. It makes 10260 design lumens with standard HO lamps. But it runs very cool, so you can intensify light output by putting the light right on top of the plants.

It is: 1.2 times brighter than 175 w metal halide ; Six times brighter than a 30 w compact fluorescent; Four times brighter than a shop light with two 40 watt Cool White Deluxe bulbs; 2.2 times brighter than a standard T8 -2 bulb 4’ fixture that others call "high output" ; 2.5 times brighter than the phony "500 watt" FluoreX

Quality Workmanship

It is factory new. It includes a 120 volt power cord. There are ample attachments for chain. The commercial grade electronic ballast carries a 5 year free replacement warranty from the manufacturer. It has a high ballast factor that generates 120% of rated lamp output.

The hi-tech mirror like reflector is constructed of lighting grade high reflectivity anodized aluminum. This boosts light output and it is specular. This means it can be formed to direct light straight down. The computerized ray tracing results of the reflector are outstanding. You need to be careful using this material. Misapplication will cause the light to scatter to the side of the fixture, worse than if you had used a white reflector. Butthis is much better than a white reflector. Thesurface of a standard white reflector randomly scatters the light. These are ok for a shop, but can't deliver the ultra high light levels for growing. Also it CAN'T RUST .

For shipping purposes it has a protective plastic film on it. It's 4' long. We also roll the long edges over so you don't cut yourself.

When I first went into Business, the best advice I ever got was "it’s easy to sell as long as you are in business to help people" We seek to serve you in part by divulging all sorts of good accurate information.

There is confusion and misinformation about how much light different sources generate. Below is a comparison. Notice how High Output T8’s make more light using less energy than the much more expensive compact fluorescents. Also notice that not all T8 fixture are the same, not withstanding that many are often labeled as "high output" when they are not. The amount of light that you get out of a fixture varies with the ballast used. It’s not necessarily the rated output printed on the lamp.

Come to Us for the True High Output T8’s

People say they are blown away with the brightness of our high output fixtures as they are compared side by side with competing normal output designs. Our customer’s really like our lights because they are so amazingly bright! Based on word of mouth reference, we have shipped lights all over the country.

Our competitors often see our lights and start saying that their ordinary output fixtures that they are selling are really high output too. What a dirty trick! It has happened over and over again. I feel sorry when I meet people that feel they have been cheated. A good part of our business is making rebuild kits to upgrade lights that are too dim.

What’s worse is that there is a new kind of shop light on the market. This consumer grade fixture makes exactly 50% of the rated output of the bulb. As one of our distributors who bought one to try said : "I only put one light bulb in it, because if you put in two, they will only run at half power."

Here is the difference between normal and high output T8 fixtures. The T8 bulb was first developed in Europe as a 36 watt bulb. But when it was brought over here it was called a 32 watt bulb, but a standard fixture only drives the lamp at 27 or so watts.

So what does this all mean? A standard commercial grade T8 fixture will give you only 85 to 88% of 32 watt rating. The residential grade shop lights give you only 50% to 70% of the 32 watt rating . Our high output fixtures give 120% of the 32 watt rating. Additionally, there are different grades of bulbs, for instance our sunlight simulating 5K bulb makes an additional 9.6% more bonus light than a standard daylight bulb.

AQUARIUM LIGHTING OPTIONS

This fixture makes a super aquarium light too!

When set up for aquariums, this fixture comes with 3 Actinic Type or 3 12,500 K- Deep Sea Blue or any combination of the two. It also includes 3 6500K-Daylight bulbs.

These bulbs are described below:

6500K-Daylight A perfect light for Fresh Water Aquariums and some Salt water’s too. Pure trichromatic phosphor makes light just where the eye’s are most sensitive. This is the best high color temperature lamp for human vision.

Actinic Type A deep blue lamp with lots of energy at 425nm, A required light perfect for corals and other sealife. But it also has much better color rendition

12,500 K- Deep Sea Blue This is the best light for deep ocean life. It’s output actually overlaps the above Actinic Type spectrum. When the Actinic Type and 12,500 K- Deep Sea Blue are used together, a healthy reef results.
