Eye Hortilux High Pressure Sodium Conversion Lamps

EYE Hortilux is a proven leader in the High Pressure Sodium plant growth specific lamp industry. Always top-notch quality and consumer satisfaction is very high.  Stretch the growing season to 365 days a year with Eye Hortilux Grow Lamps.  These grow lamps fine-tune your lighting systems to provide optimum spectral energy levels that promote vigorous plant growth.  Certified laboratory tests results show that EYE Hortilux Ultra Ace EN lamps are environmentally friendly and meets Federal criteria for non-hazardous waste.

Eye Hortilux High Pressure Sodium Conversion Lamps are High Pressure Sodium Lamps
manufactured to only work in a Metal Halide ballast.  If you are using Metal Halide Ballast and Metal Halide Lamps, but you want a little extra at Blooming and Fruiting times you can switch to these HPS Lamps easily.  No additional fixtures or ballasts are required, simply screw into your metal halide ballast.

These High Pressure Sodium lamps are used in greenhouses to elevate the red, orange and yellow electromagnetic wavelengths hitting the plant. This (along with shorter photo-periods) signals the plant to start producing bloom hormones. Increased red, orange and yellow wavelengths can produce higher yields and more abundant blooms and fruiting sites when quality plant foods and bloom leaf sprays are used.  Use Vita Grow Bloom Foliar Sprayto increase fruiting sites by 20% more and up to 100 percent when compared to a control group.

Other options would include using Sunmaster Warm Metal Halide lamps that burn at the 3 thousand Kelvin color temperature range. They have enough red, orange and yellow light to trigger bloom hormones and an ample amount of blue to keep plants healthy and proportional in size.

Sunmaster Metal Halide Conversion Lamps

Sunmaster is the leader in Metal Halide Lamp technology.  Sunmaster designed these high tech lamps exclusively for the plant growth industry.  Using High Pressure Sodium lights exclusively can result in poor growth during the grow stage of plant life.  Therefore many people have seen the need to switch from High Pressure Sodium lamps to Metal Halide lamps in the grow or bloom portion of the plants cycle. 

Sunmaster's Metal Halide Lamps are manufactured specifically to work in a High Pressure Sodium Ballast.  These lamps can screw into a HPS ballast to improve plant growth during the grow stage.

Indoor gardeners, lacking the Sun, may find that HPS lamps do not supply the necessary amount of blue light to keep plants healthy. Blue light drives photosynthesis, translocates sugars and keeps the immune system working properly.

Those growing areas using HPS lamps exclusively in the bloom stages of growth may experience adverse vertical stretching and blooms located only at the top of the plant. It is suggested to burn a Metal Halide Lamp along side of the HPS lamp to increase sugar production and horizontal growth. Increased insect attack in the final stages of HPS only bloom growth may also be experienced.
