Know before you buy
No, the Hortilux Super Blue Dual Arc Lamp is specifically engineered for use with magnetic core and coil ballasts (ANSI S52). Using it with a digital ballast may lead to performance issues or damage to the lamp.
One of the primary benefits of this lamp is that it combines HPS and HORTILUX-BLUE technology into a single unit. This dual-spectrum output provides the necessary light for your plants throughout their entire growth cycle, eliminating the need for bulb swaps.
No, this lamp is not dimmable. It is designed to operate at a consistent 1000W output to ensure the stability of the dual-arc technology.
The Super Blue Arc Tube technology allows the lamp to deliver a more comprehensive light spectrum than a standard HPS bulb. This helps promote tighter internodal spacing and more robust plant development during the vegetative stage while maintaining the high intensity needed for flowering.
You will need a 1000W grow light fixture that is compatible with magnetic core and coil ballasts. Ensure your reflector is rated for 1000W high-pressure sodium lamps to safely handle the heat and intensity produced by this unit.
