Fluorescent Grow Fixture

If you were choosing to plant an indoor garden, but were looking for the best indoor lighting source to use for this situation, your options were limited for many years. In the past there was only one option, the standard 2 bulb, 4 foot long florescent light was it. For many people, this was not the sort of light they wanted to use for the lifetime of their plant. Although fluorescent lighting, in its most basic form, have long been known to be great when it comes to seedling growth, once the plant has past that point, fluorescent lighting was no longer the best lighting form. Lately however, technology has been hard at work finding the best form of florescent light for your indoor plant needs. The latest and best form is the compact florescent and T5 plant lights.

Let’s take a look at some of the advantages of these lights to see if they are the best purchase for your indoor garden needs. The compact florescent grow lights are the newest lights in development with an increased range of wattage and spectrum. The whole bulb surface easily serves as an appropriate light source for plant growth, and although the bulbs are small they pack a big punch. The designers have been hard at work to power pack the compact florescent grow lights and make sure they are using the best in high efficiency horizontal light reflector technology, so that all of the light created is good for the plants it is serving. These lights are very similar in performance and ability to the T5 grow lights. They also are very similar prices. In this case, the compact nature of the newer product will be the selling point when comparing the two products.

Luckily, these lights can be purchased in any color temperature needed. As plants grow and develop, they need a wide array of different color temperatures in order to grow strong and healthy. To begin with, you need a lot of blue light for the seedlings to grow, and the stems and leaves to develop in a healthy manner. Then later you need red/orange light to help the plant grow flowers and produce healthy fruits and veggies. The compact florescent grow fixture can be easily used for growing these larger plants. They use specially designed reflectors and can place the correct amount of light on the plant to help its growth process. You can purchase them in warm and cool varieties. These terrific lights have a long life span, usually about 10,000 hours.

If you are looking for the best lighting in order to grow your plants in an indoor space, but are dealing with only a small area in which to place your lighting instruments, then the CFL and T5 are the way to go. Small and mighty, they easily take the place of larger fluorescent lighting solutions to provide the best cool light for early growth and warm light for later growth to help the plant succeed. Its reasonable price and long life span are two additional reasons that make this new product the best florescent lighting solution on the market to date.
