BULB 600 W GROLUX SYLVANIA

Sodium lamps are noted for their mainly red colour tone with orange and yellow tones, which benefits plant growth by stimulating the production of flower buds, promoting massive flowering and increasing flower size. Some lamps in this group also include blue tones in their spectrum and are popular in horticulture, such as Solux Green Force, Philips Son-t Agro, Sylvana Grolux and Philips Master Son-T Pia Green Power. SOLUX lamps are industry leaders due to their efficacy and performance, preferred by professionals.

When should a sodium lamp be replaced?

It is recommended to replace the lamp when the loss of production exceeds the value of a new lamp, usually around 50 euros (for a 600 W lamp). Professional growers usually change the lamp every growing cycle.
