EYE HORTILUX™, a division of EYE Lighting International, focuses on providing quality grow lamps that produce supplemental or artificial light for indoor plant growth. EYE HORTILUX™ grow lamps are used in a wide variety of applications including the home hobbyist, agricultural universities and educational programs, plant physiological research, biotechnology & pharmacology industries, greenhouses and plant factories.

While the human eye might not notice any difference in light intensity or subtle shifts in spectrum over as few as six months, our research demonstrates that your plant will. Burning lamps for 12 or more hours every day diminishes both intensity and spectrum. This happens with all lamp brands as the chemical reactions within the arc tube (which create the light and spectrum) deteriorate over time. Unlike the sun, man-made bulbs do wear out!  Plants are quick to recognize these subtle changes. For example, think of putting an outdoor vegetable garden in a semi-shady spot.  Sure, the plants may grow, but not to their optimum potential.

For fuller, thicker vegetative growth and more blossoms yielding abundant crops, bulb replacement should be part of a regular maintenance schedule. Keep old working bulbs as possible supplemental light for mother plants or other plants that do not require aggressive growth.

Eye Hortilux recently published their infographic and write up results on the effectiveness of using your digital ballast's dimming feature. What they found was that you are much better off using the correct wattage bulb rather than dimming a higher wattage bulb to 40%, 50%, or 60%. Their spectral distribution charts show that when the bulb is dimmed the spectral makeup of your light is greatly reduced compared to running it at 100%. This not only means you're decreasing in light intensity, but almost exponentially decreasing the coverage of spectrum your bulb targets.

Hortilux™ Super HPS

Traditionally High Pressure Sodium lamps have been used for flowering and fruit production. HORTILUX™ HPS lamps were designed with enough violet, blue, and green spectrum to be used as a stand alone light source throughout all phases of plant production. This means that HORTILUX™ HPS lamps can be used as your only light source.

 Hortilux™ Dual Arc

Studies have shown the most productive method for indoor growing is by starting plants with Metal Halide and then switching to High Pressure Sodium grow lights. The Dual Arc is a combination of the HORTILUX™ Super HPS and the world class spectrum of HORTILUX™ BLUE in one lamp. The result of this combination is more compact plants and vigorous flower and fruit production without the need to purchase a Metal Halide and a HPS lamp separately. Dual Arc is the Best, all-in-one grow lamp.

Features

• Contains a HORTILUX™ Super HPS arc tube & a HORTILUX™ BLUE arc tube in one lamp
• Promotes vigorous growth, accelerated development, and hearty flowering

When growing indoors, light intensity and spectrum become even more important. Simply put, the quantity and quality of light are the most critical factors associated with successful plant growth. Regular bulb replacement and lamps maintenance is essential.
