Lighting implemented by such lamps is great for grass growing. Despite the abundance of new light technologies, they are still being used by cannabis growers, mostly old school. Hemp HPS lamps began to be used long before the advent of modern LED counterparts. Back in the thirties of the last century, lamps extensively illuminated the streets of Europe, and a little later they began to be used for growth plants.

HPS Lamp Power Consumption
Electricity costs directly affect the cost of production cones. In addition, inflated receipts may attract interest from some services, the visit of which will be very undesirable. Even though Marijuana HPS Bulb is considered one of the most economical, it still consumes more power than LEDs . At the same time, to use a sodium light source, the grow is equipped with an additional cooling system. And to connect to the outlet, you will need a choke (ballast) and an Impulsive Ignition Device - IZU. These features lead to unnecessary waste of electricity, which will add numbers to the energy bill.

Advantages and disadvantages of sodium lamps

Also, the lamp burner reaches a temperature of 1300 °C, which gives the whole structure a noticeable glow. For growbox we need to find an additional cooling system, while the greenhouse can benefit from it.
Cons include power consumption, extra hardware, and aging effects.Electricity consumption in them is higher, which is especially acute at a power of 600W or more. Unlike LEDs, Marijuana HPS lamps require equipment in the form of a choke and IZU. In addition, they are characterized by fading - by the end of the term they lose up to 50% of their original light power.
