Description
This new generation of high efficiency, environmentally friendly, low energy use, compact lamps are designed for indoor growers. They help people with limited space where heat generation can be a problem. Light Details Each 125w lamp provides over 10,000 lumens of light Output is 100% PAR- the correct spectrum for plants Compact, high output, efficient energy saving lamps Generates much less heat than any HID or HPS lamp Can be touched in use without burning your fingers Can be placed close to plants, increasing light intensity Simple to install- no ballasts or heavy contact switches Envirolites are available in two models. Envirolite 6100k (kelvin) is a white/blue spectrum lamp ideal for propogation and vegative stage growing (15,000 hours) Envirolite 2700k (kelvin) is a red/orange spectrum lamp designed for flowering stage growing (15,000 hours)Growing With EnvirolitesEnvirolites can be used to grow seeds and to propagate cuttings. They can also be used as the main lighting system for plants in the vegetative and flowering stages.The secret to growing with Envirolites is to position your lamp or reflector just an inch or two above your plants. (We use Easy-Roll Reflector Hangers and adjust the reflector height a small amount each day or so. We keep our Envitolites no more than 1" above the plant top.)Positioning these new compact lights directly above the plants maintains light intensity, no lumens are lost and the PAR / Spectrum is 100%, which is like natural sunlight. The plants get all the lumens they need with the light being in the correct spectrum. Envirolite Red 2700k 125w lamps are used mostly for flowering. Many growers also use these lamps as a supplement to ‘hang’ by the side or in between plants when flowering. They can be used with HPS lamps, as a supplement or by themselves. Envirolite White / blue 6100k 125w lamps can be used for propagation and vegetative growth. Some red light in the vegetative light mix is also recommended, as is a little white / blue light in the flowering mix. With different combinations of red and white lamps growers can obtain the ideal lumen output and spectrum required for excellent results in all stages of growing.Envirolites provide 100% PAR, which is such an important factor and it is important to be able to calculate the PAR values obtained from your grow lights and how much light your plants need to give maximum yield.
