grow this fast !!! (click on thumbnails for larger view)
using 1/4* to 1/10* of the electrical cost? producing less than 10%* of the heating/cooling load? without water jackets? without plumbing or heat exchangers? with no metal hallide or high pressure sodium bulbs? using no pesticides? without genetic modification of seeds?
( * compared to HPS lights)
Vortex e-Lights
Our e-Lights provide unsurpassed spectral generation for optimum plant growth, at the lowest long term energy cost to you.
e-Lights have the following features;
One fifth the power consumption of HPS or MH lights
Less than one tenth the heat generation of HPS or MH lights
10 to 20 year life as opposed to one to two years for HPS and MH lights
No fade, rock steady light level through 10 year plus life
Effectively drops cooling requirements by 90% or better
Preset or adjustable RED vs. BLUE balancing for proper plant morphology
Spectrally tuned for maximum efficiency of light absorption by crop
No ballast required - No warm up period
No water jackets, pumps, filters, heat exchangers, plumbing, etc. required
No reflectors required - 20 degree light cone, less than 10% bounce
12 to 24 volt operation and low current requirements negate the use of high energy transformers or bringing extra power to your site
Low or medium current requirements saves on wiring costs
Can be operated at 12 to 24 volts to save on wiring costs
Can be 'Daisy Chained' which allows increased voltage and decreased current
Can be used with a number of different power supplies and power sources
Low thermal IR means markedly less transpiration, less fresh water use and much less humidity to remove from the growth chamber
Low thermal IR means faster, healthier crop growth and less fungal disease
Strong, modular construction - no glass to break, no vacuum parts
CSA/UL not required on systems operating below 24 volts
Safe, low current, low voltage, low temperature operation (12 to 24 v system)
Quiet; no buzzing sounds or hums from ballasts and transformers
No harmonic distortion, no power factor to correct, no surge currents
Light weight, easy to ship, easy to handle, easy to install
