While fluorescent grow lights are not the ideal solution for
general indoor gardening, there are some situations where they work well.
The diffused light from a fluorescent fixture requires that
the fixture be placed very close to the plants to provide adequate lighting. In
most cases, that means its most useful for new plants and propagation gardens.
Once the plants are well started, they can be moved to new
locations, either in an outdoor garden or an indoor garden where High Intensity
Discharge lighting can take over to promote healthy growth for flower and fruit
production. Fluorescent Grow Lights are also suitable for many tropical plants,
like Orchids and African Violets, which have a natural environment in the dim
light under the canopy of a tropical rain forest.
Fluorescent bulbs are available in cool 6500 Kelvin, best
for vegetative plant growth, and 3000 Kelvin, for blooming growth. They can
also be combined in a single fixture for full spectrum lighting. Wherever you
use fluorescent grow lights, standard bulbs won't get the job done. High Output
fluorescent bulbs, either straight line or compact fluorescent, are designed
specifically for the needs of indoor gardeners.
When it comes to fluorescent grow lights, we are the place to shop. We offer the fixtures and accessories you need to create great indoor garden environments when fluorescent lighting is the answer. Our fixtures are designed to stand up under the humid conditions of indoor gardening. We sell only proven fluorescent bulbs that produce the color spectrum and high output light that is essential for plant growth.
Provide the red spectrum as well to encourage blooming.
Combining the lights in a fixture makes for even, all around
growth.
The next generation in fluorescent lighting includes the new
T-5 lights.
These new lights have extremely high output but are energy
efficient and long lasting.
The T-5 lights triple the light output of normal fluorescent
lights without increasing the wattage. Plants absorb a high percentage of T-5
lighting because the fixtures function well very close to plants. High output
bulbs require a high output fixture to operate, so the bulbs and normal
fluorescent fixtures will not work together.
