Agrolite SHP HPS Bulb 600W Flowering – High Pressure Sodium Bulb for Phase

Frequently asked questions

• What is the Agrolite SHP 600W bulb designed for?

  It is designed to mimic the optimal light conditions of the flowering process, which is where it delivers its best results. Agrolite has spent years focused on grow lighting, and this model is one of its clear picks for that phase.

• Does it work with magnetic ballasts or only electronic ones?

  With both. It does not matter whether you have a fixed-power unit or a dimmable one: this bulb can be used with 600W magnetic or electronic ballasts. That gives you plenty of freedom if you already have an installation set up.

• What spectrum and how many lumens does it deliver?

  It has a colour temperature of 2100K, so the light it emits sits in the red tones, exactly what the plant is looking for in flowering. It delivers 85,000 lumens, more than enough to raise production levels significantly.

• How many grows does it last before it needs replacing?

  Its 85,000 lumens can perform perfectly for up to 4 grows. After that it makes sense to replace it so you do not lose intensity in the most decisive phase of the harvest.

• How can I work out its power consumption?

  Being a powerful bulb, its consumption is high, since sodium lamps are not known for their energy efficiency. You can work it out in advance: multiply the wattage by the hours you keep it on each month, divide the result by 1000 and multiply by the price per kWh.

• Why does it improve the quality of flowering?

  Because it emits tones around the reds, the same kind of light flowers receive in summer, which is when they bloom most strongly. With it you significantly improve both the quantity and the quality of the flowering stage.
