The
market has demanded redder burning halides and bluer burning
sodium's and paying huge premiums for nominal amounts of
color improvement (versus standard lamps). With this in
mind, our position is that to truly get full spectrum HID
light, the blue spectrum of metal halide must be blended
with the red spectrum for high pressure sodium. When this is
done, the spectrum of the fixture is unparalleled by any
single lamp source.
To illustrate our point on this, we employed
Photo Research Inc. of Chatsworth California - Certified
Test Report # NW 1152 to test the fixture (an 800 watt unit)
three ways:
-
To get a
color spectragraph of the MS 400/hor metal halide lamp
burning by itself.
-
To get a
color spectragraph of a 400 HPS lamp burning by itself.
-
To get a
color spectragraph of both the halide and sodium lamp
burning simultaneously.
800 watt: 1
MS400 halide + HPS400 = 87,500 lumens
1000 watt: 1 MS400 halide + HPS600 = 130,000 lumens
NOTE: These units come with two ballasts, One for the HPS
side and one for the MH Side.
As can be seen,
the results are dramatic, the two lamps compliment each
other to acheive a very broad band of spectrum coverage.
For maximum
results and productivity in your growing, proper spectrum
lighting is essential. The Super Spectrum Fixtures
combination of top quality components, high lumen levels and
unmatched spectrum coverage make it the ultimate HID plant
growth lighting fixture.
