Fluorescent & T5

Commonly seen as a simple “shop light”, fluorescent lighting can be the effective lighting choice in your grow room. Fluorescent lights come in a wide range of colors, from the warmest of color outputs to the coolest. Varied flowering stages will require differing spectrums of light, and thankfully switching lights and bulbs is a simple process with fluorescents. Concerned about excess heat in a smaller, sealed growing room? Advanced T5 bulbs and other common fluorescents give off essentially no heat. With little heat output, a unique color spectrum that mimics sunlight, like Quantum Triphosphor T5 Lamp Bulbs, and energy-efficient systems these grow lights are ideal for first-time growers as well as commercial operations. If you’re looking for color balance, try out a bulb that produces both UVA and UVB spectrums, like the Power Veg T5 Grow Light by Eye Hortilux.
