The coolest spectrum around features 450 nm (blue) wavelengths and full-spectrum 6500K white light designed specifically for promoting the healthy development of mushrooms during incubation and fruiting cycles.
Easy Lamp Installation
Insert each lamp with the end cap marked L N into the lamp holders located on the same side as the fixture's switches and power cable. Once the lamp is inserted, rotate a quarter turn until the lamp is locked in place.
Sturdy Hanging Hooks
Removable metal hanging hooks allow for a quick installation using standard hydroponic hangers, zip ties, S-hooks and more (hanging equipment sold separately).
Dual On-Off Switches
Water-resistant dual on-off switches allow growers to run all 4 lamps, 2 inner lamps or 2 outer lamps to meet target lighting requirements for different mushroom types and growth stages.
Daisy Chain Cable Installation
Easily connect multiple fixtures by plugging the 6' power cord into the socket side of the next fixture for a versatile and clean installation.
Featured Review
In part 2 of this series, Lee and Brian of Moto Pizza in Seattle, WA focus on the lighting aspect of mushroom growing and benefits of using the proper lighting spectrum for the fruiting stage of mushroom growth.
Bypass the Hassle
This LED grow light fixture uses Active Grow T5 HO Ballast Bypass LED Grow Lamps and runs directly off line voltage 120-277V. No ballasts means no buzzing, flickering, compatibility or longevity issues, giving your mushrooms pure, uninterrupted lighting. *This fixture is for use with Active Grow T5 HO Ballast Bypass 4FT LED Grow Lamps only. Fluorescent lamps may not be used with this fixture as it does not contain ballasts. Only one side of the fixture’s lamp holders are wired. Insert the lamp end marked with L N into the fixture’s wired lamp holders.
Sustainable Mushroom Lighting
Uses 60% less energy than 54W T5 HO fluorescent lamps when used with Active Grow 25W T5 HO LED Grow Lamps, greatly reducing heat output, HVAC costs and the need for more vertical space. Provides savings of over $480 in energy costs over the lifetime of the lamps.
Mushroom Centric Design
