Metal halides have the more balanced spectrum.

The light they give out has a significant amount of light from the bluer end of the spectrum, which the plant uses to grow vegetatively. It produces plants with a small internodal length, with large leaves and thick stems. It produces the most natural looking plants. It simulates the light from the beginning of the year and is good for plants before they're switched into flowering mode.

They're normally slightly more expensive than HPS. Recently, there have been 'enhanced spectrum' MH bulbs produced which also give off a significant amount of red light. Conversion bulbs are also available which plug into HPS ballasts which are actually MH bulbs. Useful for changing the light balance without changing the ballasts also. In the event of a power failure, they need about 20 minutes before restating.

They may restart earlier but it shortens the life of the bulb quite dramatically to try and start a hot bulb.

• Power Plant HIT/HBU/LU Metal Halide Lamp - 250 watt.
• Power Plant Metal Halide lamps promote optimum vegetative growth and flowering.
• Provides a richer more nutritious light
• Compatible with standard HPS ballasts and ignitor systems. Lamps can simply be changed to maximise growth protential.250w hps = 23,000 lumens

The first dedicated CFL for root development and propagation

The 2700k spectrum of the EnviroGrow CFL Super Cool self ballasted compact fluorescent lamps is quite unique. Developed by PowerPlant it is dedicated to root development and propagation.

The EnviroGrow CFL Super Cool units feature ultra high output compact fluorescent lamps that are powered by an integral power unit. This unit is soon to have dedicated packaging to show it is Super Cool White. Ideal for Ttssue culture laboritories, growing stock plants and cloning for hobbyists and professionals.

• Power Plant HIT/HBU/LU Metal Halide Lamp - 1000 watt.
• Power Plant Metal Halide lamps promote optimum vegetative growth and flowering.
• Provides a richer more nutritious light
• Compatible with standard HPS ballasts and ignitor systems. Lamps can simply be changed to maximise growth protential.400w hps = 38,000 lumens

Power Plant HIT/HBU/LU Metal Halide Lamp - 600 watt.

• Power Plant Metal Halide lamps promote optimum vegetative growth and flowering.
• Provides a richer more nutritious light
• Compatible with standard HPS ballasts and ignitor systems. Lamps can simply be changed to maximise growth protential.

We recommend that lamps are replaced every 12 to 14 months, after 14 months there is an appreciable drop in the lumen output leading to a reduction in crop yield 


600w hps = 51,000 lumens
