T5HO Fluorescent Grow Lights On Sale
a leading supplier of grow lights, residential lighting and commercial lighting, today announced its special offering of fluorescent fixtures available at reduced prices. Shoppers can save up to 32% on T5HO grow lights.
With prices for power rising in many states, some growers have found refuge in T5HO fluorescent fixtures, ideal for propagation, vegetation and bloom stages. With the reduced prices offered by Access Discounts, growers not only experience a savings in power costs, but save on the purchase of optimum performance grow lights. In comparison tests performed, a T5-48 fluorescent fixture will out produce a 1000W metal halide light in the first three weeks of use, with the T5-48 drawing as little as 432 watts.
The Power of LED Grow Lights
With the release of hard-hitting documentaries such as Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and Leonardo DiCaprio’s The 11th Hour energy consumption and its relationship to global climate change has become a prominent issue. What people often fail to understand is that the best solutions are not great actions on the part of a few, but rather small actions taken by the many. For example, if everyone in the U.S. were to replace incandescent lights with fluorescent ones, it could eliminate the need for Middle East oil.
LED Grow lights are another example of a small thing that can make a great difference. If you are growing your own food hydroponically, you’re already taking a step toward saving the planet. The use of LED Grow Lights allows you to take the next step in reducing your footprint on the planet. Not only to they operate at a fraction of the voltage of conventional bulbs (less than 20 VAC as opposed to 120), but they are free of mercury – a highly toxic metal used in metallic vapor and fluorescent lights.
High-intensity discharge lamp
High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps include these types of electrical lamps: mercury vapor, metal halide (also HQI), high-pressure sodium (HPS) and less common, xenon short-arc lamps. The light-producing element of these lamp types is a well-stabilized arc discharge contained within a refractory envelope (arc tube) with wall loading in excess of 3 W/cm² (19.4 W/in.²).
Compared with fluorescent and incandescent lamps, HID lamps produce a far higher quantity of light per unit area of lamp package.

Grow light
Grow lights are electric lamps designed to promote plant growth by emitting an electromagnetic spectrum appropriate for photosynthesis. It does this by mimicking the light spectrum from the sun, allowing indoor growth with outdoor conditions.
Different light spectrums are used for the different stages of plant growth. The initial vegetative stage requires blue spectrum of light, whereas the later ‘flowering’ stage should be done with red/orange spectrums. The lights can be bought by spectrum colour specifically, or some companies such as Sylvania Grolux produce a full spectrum bulb which caters for all stages of growth.
