** STATE-OF-THE-ART LIGHTING FIXTURES BY P.L. LIGHT SYSTEMS

For better quality, higher yield and long-term dependability, the grower’s first choice for supplemental greenhouse lighting is P.L. Light Systems. These innovative fixtures are made with the best light components available; and are streamlined for minimum light blockage, strong and durable for long-term wear and yet lightweight for ease of installation and cleaning.

Specifications Fabric:

  • Available in 150W, 250W, 400W, 400W Super, 600W, 750W and 1000W model (including two (2) new, specially designed 1000W reflectors)
  • Available in 120, 208, 240, 277, 347 and 480 Volts.
  • Improved collar design for easy assembly and maintenance of all reflectors
  • Ventilated aluminum body allows for maximum cooling and increases dependability of internal components
  • Compact body reduces blockage of incoming natural sunlight
  • C.S.A. and U.L. approved
  • Optional convertible ballast – toggle switch provides the option of using either HPS or Metal halide lamps in 400W/1000W

Energy Efficient:
HPS is the most energy efficient lamp for greenhouse lighting. About 30% of the electric energy input is converted into PAR (the waveband between 400-700 nm), compared to 6.7% for incandescent lamps. Only 14% of the light energy is in the waveband between 400 and 565nm. The majority of the energy, which provides maximum plant growth, is in the region up to 700nm. The rest is converted into heat energy. The useful life of HPS lamps is twice that of Metal Halide (MH) because the light output during the lamp life will drop less than 10%.
