Plant Growth Fluorescent Lamp

PG lamp can facilitate the growth of plants

1. Used as a replacement when sun light is insufficient
2. Possible to control the plant growth period and shorten the time to mature

What are the benefits of using T5 fluorescent lighting for plant growth?

T5 lamps provide the ideal spectrum for plant growth. Photosynthesis rates peak at 435 nm and 680 nm.

A 6500K T5 lamp has a spectral distribution with relative intensity peaks at 435 nm and 615 nm. This equates to very little wasted light energy in terms of plant growth. T5 lamps promote incredible health and vigor of seedlings and cuttings.

Root development is superior relative to other lighting sources. While T5 lighting is excellent for starting seeds and cuttings, it's also able to produce enough light for full term growth.

Because of their minimal heat output, T5 lamps can be placed 6" -8" above the plant canopy which maximizes photosynthetic response. Unlike conventional fluorescent, plants grown under T5 lamps do not have to be rotated to the center of the lamp.

T5's slim diameter enables better photo-optic control of the emitted light, increasing efficiency in the form of even light distribution.
