HID Lighting lets you outsmart
nature!
|
|
Do you live in a cloudy area? In a
rainy area? Is it winter now, where your daylight
(sunshine) hours are really short?
With HID Lighting (grow lights), you'll
have as much artificial sunshine as you need to make your
garden thrive!
Everyone knows what a florescent light is... most of us know
those were once the most popular grow lights. Florescent
tubes are great for seedlings and "low-light" plants, but
mature plants and flowers that are 6 inches or more in
height need stronger light to penetrate through the length
of the entire plant. They need HID Lighting. |
A pair of fluorescent tubes put
out around 1900 lumens of light energy. This only gives you
about a foot of effective light penetration. A single HID
growlight bulb can emit over 120,000 lumens! That gives you
enough light penetration to grow your plants over 6 feet tall.
And since you can keep your light so far above your indoor
garden, a single light can cover a really big group of plants
and flowers!

Our
HID growlight
systems can be hung from a simple ceiling hook and
plugged in as easily as a home table lamp. It uses the
plain-Jane electric plugs (120 volts) that you've already
got. If you can hang a plant, you can hang a high intensity
grow light! High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting General Information:
