The SolarMax 1 provides 2 ARC tubes in 1 lamp! It works with a 1000 watt HPS balllast, but gives you both a 600 watt sodium (HPS) AND a 400 watt halide (MH) tube in one glass globe. The result is the most broad spectrum lamp in the market!

Plant growth requires a broad spectrum of light energy to initiate complex reactions. The SOLARMAX 1 is the highest precision HID lamp that combines both enhanced Metal Halide and Super High Pressure Sodium technologies to achieve strong peaks for both vegetative plant growth and flowering.

Lamp manufacturers trying to create the ideal spectral output for plant growth have targeted enhancement to the either HPS (not enough blue) or MH (not enough orange / red). Bottom line, neither technology can be altered enough to be truly optimum for plant growth.

German engineers solved this issue by creating the SolarMax 1 that contains both HPS and MH tubes in one lens. Amazing technology!
