Recommended to replace HPS lamps in the ripening phase of small plants.
Description
One of the latest innovations for indoor plant lighting are compact fluorescent lamps (neon), the older sisters of low-consumer lamps that are used for lighting our homes; or, with the same operation, but with a much higher power. The operation of this lamp is very similar to that of the common fluorescence lamps, the gas contained within the small U-shaped tubes excited by the electric current emits light. This type of lamp, unlike incandescent lamps and traditional fluorescence lamps, has the built-in ignition system inside the lamp base and thus allows to directly connect the lamp to an E40 lamp holder (the same used for high pressure sodium lamps and metal hydurs); this thanks to the adaptation of producers to the market and the materials used by growers. Its main utility is to replace linear fluorescence lamps, but it reaches a significantly higher light intensity in a smaller space. As well as traditional fluorescents, these sources emit very little heat but produce many more lumens and have a greater depth of lighting, resulting so more effective to stimulate maturation. The low heat produced allows to approach the lamp to the plants (up to about 5 cm) without drying the substrate, or overheating the environment.
