Just as affordable, but more efficient for growing plants: The reliable Sylvania Grolux lamp.
The Sylvania Grolux SHP-TS is geared specifically towards the needs of plant cultivation, and contrary to the SHP-TS version, it has a higher blue content in the light spectrum. As light with different wavelengths is needed for different metabolic processes in the plant, the broader spectrum of the Sylvania GroLux product line helps plants to achieve a more saturated green colour and lusher growth.
As it has a 10% higher light output for photosynthesis than the SHP-TS, the Grolux SHP-TS is best suited for assimilation lighting. It stimulates the CO² assimilation for enhanced photosynthesis, and therefore provides even better plant growth.
Grolux SHP-TS grow lights are a very popular choice thanks to their affordability. Perfect for gardeners dealing with plants that have a shorter growth phase (1-4 week) and wish to avoid using additional metal halide lighting.
Special features of the Grolux SHP-TS HPS lamps:
- increased blue content
- suitable for growth and flowering
- extremely high lumen output
- high proportion of growth lighting (PAR)
Note: To operate this lamp, a ballast with suitable performance values (400W) is required, as well as an E40 bulb holder.
Tip: Never touch the glass parts of lamps with bare hands! The skin's oils can reduce the lifetime and luminosity of the lamp.
