Comparison

The Growers House staff has had countless discussions (read: arguments) over what bulbs perform best. We decided to put our best guesses to rest by testing out a portion of the most popular bulbs in the market, concluding in one of the most interesting--and expensive--tests we've ever done. We decided to test the most popular grow light style, 1000w High Pressure Sodium bulbs. Its a 9 bulb fight for the top spot, who will win?

At Growers House we wanted to know how well reflectors emit light in comparison to each other. So this is what we did: We chose three of the most popular large reflectors on the market, drew out a 5.5' x 5.5' square footprint, and collected Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) readings from 13 points inside our footprint. How did they do? Read on to find out.
