HPS lamps

The high-pressure sodium grow lights, also known as HPS bulbs, offered in this category are used to provide illumination for plants. Thus, you will guarantee them the right conditions for growth, which requires access to light in order to start and carry out photosynthesis. On the proper selection of performance parameters, quality of workmanship and proper installation largely depends on the efficiency of the culture, so it is worth sourcing only proven and from a trusted source. Among such are the HPS lamps offered in our store, both for the garden and for closed rooms.

How HPS high-pressure sodium bulbs work

The technology of making high-pressure sodium bulbs is commonly used, among other things, for street lighting after dark. A yoke, usually ceramic, which contains sodium, mercury and gas, is responsible for producing light. As a result of the discharge and evaporation of the substance, an orange or yellowish flux is emitted, depending on the model. HPS lamps for the garden are often chosen for growing plants due to their very good working efficiency, in terms of which they outperform standard competitive fluorescent lamps by up to 30%.

The products gathered in this category are ideal for use in spaces exposed to low temperatures. They produce a relatively large amount of heat, so they are also worth recommending for large crops and for use outside the home, such as in the garden. Many growers believe that high-pressure sodium lamps are optimal for use at the flowering stage, as they shorten its time and allow the plant to pass through this key phase of plant development more quickly.

Applications and advantages of the HPS bulb

The HPS bulbs on offer are designed for growing in any location, which proves their versatility. Since we sell them in a variety of wattage and size versions, you will find models to suit the needs of both small, home grows and much larger, also conducted in the garden or on a plot under a roof of crops. Using high-pressure sodium lamps, you can count on natural light, friendly to both plants and human eyes, which supports and accelerates their growth.

You will order HPS bulbs from us with a wide range of wattage from a few tens to even 1,000 watts, which is why the lamps offered are chosen by beginners and professional growers. Depending on your needs, you can buy models designed for specific stages of plant development - flowering and fruiting - as well as for the entire life of the plant, from seed to growth to harvest. High-powered HPS bulbs do an excellent job in greenhouses, pavilions or other rooms of considerable size where cultivation takes place.

Installation of high-pressure sodium lamps should take into account their high thermal efficiency, and consequently safety issues. Strong heating of HPS bulbs accumulated in this category makes it necessary to keep in mind the risk of fire, which should be prevented by suspending the lamps at an appropriate distance from other surfaces and objects - the ceiling, walls, ventilation elements or the plants themselves. It is assumed that it should be at least 40 cm.

Efficient HPS lamps for everyone

Deciding on high-pressure sodium lamps, it is necessary to take into account the need to find a place also for the ignition system designed for their start-up. This is an additional component necessary for the operation of the lighting, but dealing with it is not a big problem, because it is small. The best proof of this is the fact that it is the HPS lamps that are most often chosen for growing plants regardless of their size and the experience and skills of the grower.

When searching for high-pressure sodium bulbs in our offer, pay attention first of all to the wattage, which should be selected according to the area of cultivation. For large crops, multiple HPS lamps are used simultaneously. When choosing specific specimens, remember that the most effective work is guaranteed by models with as many lamens as possible. If you are interested in bulbs for use at the vegetative stage of the plant, their light spectrum should be in the range of 420 to 480 nm, while the vegetative stage requires that these values be between 610 and 690 nm.
