High Pressure Sodium lights - light bulbs for grow lights:
High Pressure Sodium Lights for the longest has been used in lighting for parking lots, street lighting and most factory lighting. Due to new technology this type of lighting is becoming popular in residential and commercial security lighting, landscape lighting, decorative lighting. High pressure sodium light bulbs can be used for grow lights for plants due to the color temperature that closely resembles the sun. Used inside, high pressure sodium grow lights can be used to germinate any plant seed. High-pressure sodium light bulbs produce an orange-white light and have a luminous efficiency much higher than mercury or metal halide lamps. High-pressure sodium light bulbs come in wattages from 35 watts, 50 watts, 70 watts, 100 watts, 150 watts, 250 watts, 400 watts to 1000 watts. The life of these lamps typically range from 16000 to 24000 hours, making them extremely popular for lighting highways.
High Pressure Sodium Lighting requires a special fixture and ballast for each type and wattage. The bulb wattage must be matched to the ballast rating. To small a bulb and over heating will occur with a disastrous effect. To large a bulb and the life of the bulb will be shortened and may not light up. Leading to early ballast failure.
