HPS lights contain a polycrystalline alumina tube pressurized and filled with xenon, sodium, and mercury. They are actually a type of HID grow light. The electricity passes through the tube producing light.
Because these lights need between 4000 and 5000 volts of electricity to create the ignition of the arc stream, these lights require a volt modifying ballast.
The passage of electricity through the tube creates a decent amount of heat. This also creates the infrared radiation or infrared light in the yellow/red hue that HPS grow lights are known for.

The different parts of an HID grow setup
- Light bulbs: These will be either MH/HPS light bulbs, depending on the stage of growth your marijuana plants are in, or else they will only be HPS lights for the entire life cycle of your plants.
- Ballast: This connects the HID lights with a regular light bulb socket. It is necessary for an HID grow setup because these lights aren’t compatible with normal sockets. This will be either magnetic or digital.
- Hood: This serves as a reflector to help hone all of the light in on your plants below. It is located above or around the light bulbs and is necessary for efficient use of the light energy. Some hoods are also used for the containing and dispelling of heat.
The ballast can be set to 50%, 75% and 100% of power and provides stable power output without any flickering.
Digital ballast produces 30% more light for better yields.
Wing reflector is thinner than air-cooled reflector, and can be cooler during use.
Provides best coverage for lighting plants.
Ballast is universal voltage 120-240 volts power.
If you have a small space and want the best lighting system for your weed crops. You can always go for Eco Farm HPS Grow Light. The self-contained grow has high-density lighting that is suitable for the growth of your weed throughout all the stages. It is ideal to use in spaces such as grows tents or growing closets.
The lighting system provides the grow space and the crops with a brilliant full and warm spectrum that comes with a powerful wavelength. The wavelength has the ability to generate 16,000 lumens with light temperatures and a colourful and a color spectrum. To keep the room well ventilated, the system has a venting system with amazing heat dissipation.
