Depending on the type of gas inside, a specific spectrum is created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <strong>choosing<\/strong> the ideal bulb, <strong>it\u2019s important to know<\/strong> that each type is designed for a <strong>specific stage of cultivation<\/strong> or for the <strong>entire life cycle of a plant<\/strong>. Therefore, below is an <strong>explanation of what each type is used for and the differences<\/strong> between low-pressure and high-pressure discharge lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discharge lamps you can <strong>find are listed below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High-pressure_discharge_lamps\"><\/span><strong>High-pressure discharge lamps<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the indoor growing lamps, the high-pressure discharge types include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metal_Halide_Lamp_MH\"><\/span><strong>Metal Halide Lamp (MH)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal halide lamps, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/hid-grow-lights-high-intensity-discharge-bulbs\/2731-sunmaster-mh-veggie-lamp-growth.html\">Sunmaster MH Veggie Growth bulb<\/a>, are designed for the <strong>growth stage<\/strong> as they typically produce a <strong>light spectrum over 4000K<\/strong>. Therefore, the <strong>light emitted is white or cool.<\/strong> Thanks to its potential, <strong>plants<\/strong> grown under this light <strong>develop much more compact, lush, with shorter internodes and thicker branches<\/strong>. It is an ideal choice for <strong>mother plant maintenance<\/strong> and the <strong>entire growth stage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ppgbo product=&#8221;2731&#8243; language=&#8221;en&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High-Pressure_Sodium_Lamp_HPS\"><\/span><strong>High-Pressure Sodium Lamp (HPS)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High-pressure sodium bulbs, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/hid-grow-lights-high-intensity-discharge-bulbs\/5929-gb-lighting-600w-hps-pro-bulb.html\">HPS PRO 600W GB Lighting bulb<\/a>, are designed for the <strong>growth and flowering stage or the flowering stage.<\/strong> This is determined by the type of spectrum each produces. They are characterized by producing a <strong>spectrum below 6000K<\/strong>, which emits <strong>warm light<\/strong> that resembles the <strong>autumn period and<\/strong> stimulates the flowering process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When growing with them, you get <strong>better results<\/strong> if you use <strong>bulbs specifically for the growth and flowering stages<\/strong>, although mixed ones also offer good results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ppgbo product=&#8221;5929&#8243; language=&#8221;en&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ceramic_metal_Halide_lamp_CMH_or_LEC\"><\/span><strong>Ceramic metal Halide lamp (CMH or LEC)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We could say that <strong>CMH or <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/409-lec-lighting\"><strong>LEC lighting<\/strong><\/a><strong> is the evolution of high-pressure discharge lamps.<\/strong> This type of lighting features a different <strong>gas inside compared to HPS or MH bulbs<\/strong>, which <strong>offers better performance<\/strong> and therefore <strong>better results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of bulb also fits into a different type of <strong>socket<\/strong>, which is <strong>safer<\/strong> and provides a better connection.
