Lamp Selection

Kelvin Color Selection Guide


The Kelvin Color Temperature Scale is a measurement of discriminating colors for the human eye. Color temperatures over 5,000K are called cool colors (blue/white), while lower color temperatures (2,700–3,000 K) are called warm colors (yellow/white through red). This is a measurement for the human eye, but serves as a reference for helping consumers know which lamp to buy for which stage of growth.




The Light Chart printed on each lamp box (Click here for the SunPulse Light Chart) is a guide to knowing when to use each lamp for each particular stage of growth. This program was developed over a decade of research conducted by the world's leading plant scientists and photo-biologists at Green Applied Sciences. SunPulse Lamps have been developed for living things; plants, people, reptiles, fish. Traditional lamps were made for human vision and relied on peaks of energy for the human eye.

SunPulse understands not all growers can budget four lamps for every fixture, so the "one lamp system" means you could use the 3K for all stages of plant growth if needed. The 4K lamp can also be used. Your plants will get photo-chemical reactions with a SunPulse lamp, 3K or 4K, that's more than could be achieved with any traditional lamp that was made for human vision.



3K Lamps

SunPulse recommends the 3K lamp for the majority of flowering when growing annual plants.

4K Lamps
This is a Full Spectrum light good for all stages of growth.

6.4K Lamps
A lamp popularly used for vegetative growth.

10K Lamps
This lamp is for use during the last 1-2 weeks of flowering to allow better ripening and finishing.

1000w Commercial Grade Lamps       
                          Commercial grade lamps come in 1000w only.

*      Superior Photochemical Reactions

*      Proper UV balance

*      Advanced HID lamp design

*      Lamps made by life scientists for plants

*      Best sunlight replication

*      Designed for commercial applications

*      Made for quality, consistency and yield

*    

This series of lamps come in 3 different Kelvin colors:

2.8K - For fruiting and flowering

5.7K - Brilliant Full Spectrum light

10K - For Ripening and Finishing



SunPulse Lamps all contain UVA - UVB and the upper portion of UVC
Exercise caution when working around any HID lamp that contains UV. Always wear protective lenses.
