Do you live in a cloudy area?
In a rainy area? Is it winter now, where your daylight
(sunshine) hours are really low?
Well, no Problem...
With HID Lighting (grow
lights), you'll
have as much artificial sunshine as you need to make your
plants 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!
