Item Description:
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
1) ALL OF THE SYSTEMS ARE MADE TO ORDER. SO PLEASE ALLOW TWO TO THREE WEEKS FOR ASSEMBLY AND DELIVERY TIME.
2) ALL SYSTEMS REQUIRE PAYMENT IN FULL AT  TIME  OF ORDER.

Mix spectrum high output HID system Solid State Digital electronic ballasts Delivers light that simulates the sun Save 1/3 energy cost over core & coil ballast Best Mix Spectrum Lighting system available for all plants, at all phases of growth Spins to cool it self and air movement lower ambient temperatures per watt Bulb life lasts longer than non spinning light systems Large & power full foot print at 1 Ft. Two year warranty

System component list:
1-center hub, 4- 250w /120v arms, 1-each of the 250w 3kv / 4kv / 6.5kv / 10kv bulbs. 1-24” down rod, 1-12” down rod, 1- hanger kit.

Increased Lamp Life The system gives longer life because of cool running from the spinning. The Digital E-Ballasts delivering light at higher frequencies so the lamp gasses burn more and the constant power output from the ballast gives the lamps less output loss. The system will run bulbs right to the end of their life, so no more guessing when to change the lamp. The systems can double the life of some lamps.
Use Less Nutrient Plants get energy to grow from 2 sources, light and nutrients. Plants convert electrical energy from the light source to chemical energy for growth. Plants get more chemical energy from nutrient sources. In the past, we compensated for not maximizing light by using elements from the earth. With the system, we are now able to maximize light so you use less supplemental nutrients.
More Coverage per Watt We mount the lamps at the outer edges of the hood. Using the "array effect”, the system delivers the same amount of light to the outer edges of the garden as it does in the middle.
Conserving energy The system uses a digital E-Ballast. Dealing with less heat means less money spent on cooling devices and the electricity to run them. The system has the capacity to dim down the lights. Dimming can also be used for energy savings. For example if you want to just save more energy the ballast can be set to run in dimming mode. Dimming is available by Thermostat, photo eye, or computer control. The system can dim down the lights, to varying percentages as the room temperature increases beyond a set point. The system will also return the lights to full output when temperatures return to acceptable levels.
Full Spectrum Light Plants have evolved with full spectrum light. Full spectrum light will help to provide an environment more suitable for maximum productivity. The system uses 2 methods to improve spectrum. 1) Full spectrum lamps (with spectral curves closer to the sun) 2) Mechanically mixing Halide and sodium lamps. Life Light's light delivery systems use multiple smaller wattage full spectrum lamps, or the system can mix standard sodium (HPS) and pulse start metal halides (PSMH) or HPS halide conversion bulbs for full spectrum. Spinning the lamps quickly over the garden allows for the light energy from different spectrum bulbs to be delivered in phase. Much like how light is delivered from the sun.
Better Quality of Light The system delivers light in spectrum closer to the sun by using full spectrum lamps or mechanically mixing the lamps. The system also delivers light in frequencies closer to the sun. Magnetic ballasts deliver light with the same frequency as the wall voltage. The system using solid-state technology is able to increase the frequency that artificial light is delivered to frequencies closer to natural sunlight. So now we have light frequency and in spectrum similar to the sun.
More Light Why does one buy a 1000 watt light instead of a 600 watt? More light. When we use larger lamps, we also use higher voltages. Higher voltages mean more heat per watt. So in a non-moving system a larger lamp must be positioned at a greater distance from the plants than a smaller lamp. For EACH foot that you draw a lamp away from the surface you are trying to light you lose 75% of the energy incident on that surface. The only true way to measure how much light we are getting incident on our garden is with a light meter. It matters little how much energy the lamp is able to produce, what matters is how much energy you are able to deliver to our garden. Get a light meter and check every square foot of your light grid at the upper surface area of foliage. Then check down at the bottom of your foliage. Keep in mind that the maximum amount of light that most C3 and C4 (equatorial and sub-equatorial) plants can absorb passively is 5500 foot-candles. Anything above 5500 foot-candles, the stomata close and any excess energy is converted to heat. The system is able to provide maximum light intensity evenly distributed over the complete footprint of the light. Using a light meter, we can determine the correct height for light placement to achieve our target of 5500 FT-candles in every grid of the garden. With the system producing less heat from the bulb the limiting factor in how close you can hang the light to your gardens. With the ability to achieve the maximum light that plants can passively absorb at the upper surface of foliage we find even the lower levels of foliage are delivered higher levels of light as well. Now all the light energy you are paying for can be delivered to your plants and not going out the vent fan. The system also reduces shadows. Because the light is being delivered to the garden from all directions all the time, the leaves are now scrubbed with light all the time. = More light!
