Sun System Grow Lights

   (Read 100+ times)
By Patricia Wainwright

Indoor grow lights are a fun and economical tool for the avid gardener to expand their growing season. They are designed to be used indoors in a basement, garage or greenhouse. There are many brands available, offering a wide range of lighting systems in various sizes, shapes, and light output levels. One of the most widely accessible brands in this country is Sun System Grow Lights. They offer a variety of options for the indoor gardener.

Sun System grow lights fixtures are all available as a Metal Halide (MH) or High Pressure Sodium (HPS) system. HPS systems produce light in the red spectrum and are best used for growing flowering or seeding crops. MH light systems reproduce the color spectrum of natural sunlight and are a better all purpose option for flowering plants, as well as green plant growth. Sun System also produces a Super Spectrum fixture that is a hybrid combination of MH and HPS fixtures. It is their top of the line product that can be used for a wide variety of different plants.

Sun System grow lights are marketed as a kit and include the fixture, the ballast, the bulbs, and the hanging accessories. You can also easily purchase replacement parts for each kit. The kits are expandable and can be wired together to create one cohesive system that is the exact size you need for your indoor growing area. You can also purchase timers, reflectors, and other accessories to complete your indoor growing system. Sun System users report that the kits are easily assembled and the instructions are clear and simple to follow.

The grow lights offered by Sun System are comparable to other brands available. They are unique in that the fixtures can be used for either MH or HPS bulbs, or a combination of both. Prices range from $85.00 for the smallest fixture up to $400 for a large commercial grow light kit. Sun System grow light users report that the products are high quality, customer service is good to very good, and they are generally satisfied with the value received for the price.

If you are considering adding an indoor growing area, you would be smart to look at the available products from Sun System. The ability to use both metal halide and high pressure sodium bulbs in their products gives you the flexibility to maximize the growth of different types of crops without changing your system. Sun System grow lights are worth the monetary investment. They are flexible, expandable, systems that feature high quality, easily installed products. It’s everything you need to get your indoor gardening area set up and growing.
