As plants approach maturity they require less "Blue Light" and depend more upon radiation from the "Red" portion of the spectrum between 610 nm - 720 nm. The SolarMax HPS lamps have been engineered to constantly deliver 10% more targeted "Red Light" energy to the maturing plant to promote aggressive flowering. Color temp 2100° Kelvin

In younger plants it is the region between 380 nm - 520 nm that is the most crucial. This region is commonly referred to as "Blue Light". SolarMax lamps deliver 30% more "nutritious" light radiation than standard lamps. The result - more vigorous, vegetative growth and stronger roots during the important early stages of a plant's development. Color temp 7200° Kelvin

Lamps Tuned For Plants

In all stages of plant growth, plants need spectral energy (light) between 400 nm - 700 nm. This is technically known as "Photosynthetically Active Radiation" or "PAR". These combined spectral distributions provide all the light energy needed for your plants.

SolarMax™ Gold are similar to a 3000° Kelvin light source, these lamps are excellent for fruiting / flowering applications and because they are metal halides lamps they have enough full spectrum energy for all a plants needs from 380 to 760 nanometers.
