Higher initial cost - Higher than those of conventional lighting options - sometimes as much as three times higher. Bulbs available in a variety of color spectrumsħ Fluorescent Cons Contains Mercury - when a fluorescent lamp breaks or goes out, there are strict guidelines on how they should be cleaned up and disposed of, which have been set by the EPA. Bloom lamps are commonly used as side-lighting for larger plants flowering indoors. Lamps need to be matched to the fixture (high output (HO) or very high output (VHO.)) Different spectral distribution lamps are available-most common and "daylight" and "bloom." Daylight lamps are used for propagation, vegetative growth and over- wintering. They are available as single, daisy-chainable strips or in panel arrays. T5 fluorescents are one of the most the most modern type. As they are fairly new grow lights on the market and due to their price, very few people use them and there is a lack of feedback information regarding their efficiency.Ħ Fluorescent basics Popular for propagation, early vegetative growth and over-wintering semi-hardy and tender plants. High heat is produced by the bulb itself, and a fan is often needed for heat dispersion and to prevent the plants from burning. Very high initial cost compared to other lamps, sometimes exceeding the price of last generation LED panels.
Plasma grow lights emit very little heat compared to other options, which is great for placing the fixtures much closer to your plants than with HPS systems Can cost in the thousands of dollars per unit, generally used in conjunction with other lights such as LED lighting systemsĤ Plasma Cons Poor light penetration compared to HID lamps, the light won’t reach to the lower parts of your plants. Compared to other types of grow lights, plasma grow lights can save up to 50% in energy, which adds up a great deal over the course of your grows. plants can grow throughout all stages of growth without having to worry about switching lights halfway through the cycle.
