Plasma lamp

Unknown technology but with a huge potential in the future for indoor gardening.

Plasma is created by excitation of gases via radio waves. The plasma is contained in a small bulb.

Plasma lamps produce a continuous and intense light spectrum.

If we decompose the light with a prism, we see that all colors are present in the rainbow.

Below are the plasma models on Growshops :

The plasma lamp is a device that does not have an electrode in the bulb. This advantage allows to reach a very long life (> 40 000 hours), not to undergo spectral modification, nor reduction of the luminous flux during the operation.

Its advantages :

• Emission of little heat
• Long life span
• Low power consumption
• The light is very effective for the growth

Be careful, the plasma lamp is not recommended to ensure a good flowering cycle.

How does a plasma lamp work?

The plasma lamp is expensive to buy but economical to use. Indeed, plasma lamps have the particularity to last longer (5 years on average on the basis of a cycle 18h per day) than the classic HPS / MH lamps; and they consume little electricity.

Attention the emitter of electromagnetic waves which will be in charge of converting the gas into plasma, emits heat. This heat is located above the bulb. Think of ventilating well in case of culture under box of culture.

Why buy the Gavita Pro Lep ?

In the case of the GAVITA PRO LEP, it is a full spectrum, stable light that includes UVA and UVB rays. This is very important for the growth of your plants.

Consider investing in a timer that will allow you to turn your plasma bulb on and off effortlessly.

The future will tell us if the plasma lamp will be able to replace traditional lighting.
