Greenhouse Lighting
|
Hey Niall, here is a pic taken Dec.04,2010 of the inside of one of my greenhouses with the best selection of lighting. On the left is four McGraw Edison Unidors and one GE M-250R2 that is actually a growlight,a couple 8ft fluorescents with reflectors, a 8ft high output strip and the PL Lighting 400W HPS glowlight fixtures.

See here for one lit.
A high quality large greenhouse should use a single type of light source, ie grow HPS lamps or pink (Blue indium+orange red sodium) MH lamps (Which have a spectrum that match very good with the photosynthesis curve of the plants), in order to recive high efficiency plants growing.
