Volumes have been written about the hows whys and wherefores of indoor lighting for growing. Growers of all sorts of plants all swear by different sorts of bulbs and configurations. For those who are looking to buy light bulbs for indoor growing, here are is a basic primer on the different types of bulbs.
Fluorescent lighting. These bulbs emit very little heat and a clean white light that is fuller-spectrum than incandescent bulb. Because the spectrum is broader and they are much more energy eff Finish Reading this Post
The LED light bulb is being called, “a new kind of light”. This lamp is guaranteed to offer better lumen quality than a standard incandescent bulb, it’s been proven to last 25 times longer and it uses less energy than incandescent and 5 x longer than CFL lamps.
Although the light bulb has been around for over a century now, it has evolved tremendously as a technology. While new styles of bulbs – HID, fluorescent, halogen – all use some of the same principles as Edison’s original, they really are a new species, if not a new class. On top the changes in technology over time, different bulbs designed for different fixtures, applications, and electrical currents are responsible for the creation of literally thousands of kinds of bulbs produced by Finish Reading this Post
While there are a number of reef lighting options available, you will have to do some work to find the one that will support your aquatic life and properly illuminate your tank. Your best option is to ask a professional for their advice.
Over the last ten years or so, halogen lighting has gone somewhat out-of-favor because halogen light bulbs burn so hot. This heat, combined with negligence, has resulted in a number of high-profile fires that led to a softer appetite for the bulbs from consumers and a lower appetite for risk on the part of retailers who sell halogen lamps. Yet many people swear by halogen lighting because of its warm spectrum and bright intensity, so it is worth knowing just how a halogen bulb works in order und Finish Reading this Post
Metal halide lights are some of the brightest lights that money can buy. Like other high intensity discharge bulbs, they rely on high pressure and high heat to convey a highly intense, blue-oriented white light that is perfect for illuminating sports or aquariums and is ideal for indoor growing applications. Like other HID bulbs, metal halide bulbs contain a mixture of gasses and metal halides that expand inside their envelope to create a high pressure environment. The result is a highly intense Finish Reading this Post
Today the same technology used to light my laptop and computer screen is being used in innovative sources of lighting. This new technology in lighting means that I’m now provided with a bulb that will have a long life cycle, can hold up in cold weather conditions and will instantly turn on.
There are a number of other hazards to your tank that need to be filtered out. High quality fish tank filters will significantly improve the overall health of your tank by removing harmful minerals, metals, and several other impurities from your tank water.
When it comes time to overhaul lighting systems or build them anew, many people are surprised to learn that they have to make decisions about a piece of technology they never see called a lighting ballast. Because incandescent bulbs can be directly wired into electrical systems, it comes as a surprise that gas bulbs require an additional component – the ballast – to regulate the voltage. The extra cost is no reason for despair – it is quickly recouped. Quite simply, the ballast regulates v Finish Reading this Post
