Nlite™ - SAVE MONEY AND THE PLANET~

Save SEVEN ways when using Nlite™ Grow lamps (200 watt Nlite™ vs. 400 watt H.P.S.)

  1. SAVE on your ElectricityBill.
    - Use Nlite™ C.F.L. to save up to £8 per weekcompared to a 400 Watt H.P.S. lamp.

    Nlite™ C.F.L. are very efficient, and produce100% light in the P.A.R.. spectrum. (*see below)- unlike conventional H.P.S. or H.I.D. lamps which produce as much as2/3 of their output as Harsh Infra-red radiation and Heat; and only1/3 as P.A.R.
    This means 2/3 of your electricity is wasted making heat and light yourplants cannot use. If the excess heat is not vented away, (by usingeven more electricity), you plants will suffer the effects of Heat Stress.Worse still, the Infra Red radiation will still burn and damage yourplants, and you cannot vent this radiation away.
    The extra Red in the spectrum will also cause your plants to stretch.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L.to keep your plants cooler.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L.to save £££'s from your electricity bill.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L. prevent all those essentialplant oils evaporating.

  2. Save Water and Watering.
    - Use Nlite™ to save 50% of your water.

    Less heat means that your plants transpire less and stay cool. Yourplants also stop wasting precious energy pumping all that water up itsstems to transpire.
    Less heat also increases the humidity, because less water vapour isburned away. Makes your plants less susceptable to spider mite.

    Use C.F.L. to use less than half the wateryou use now.

  3. SAVE on Nutrients.
    - Use Nlite™ C.F.L. to save 10% or more on nutrients.

    Less Heat and Infra Red radiation also means less of the plants energyis used repairing heat damaged cells and leaves.
    Less water use means using less nutrients used making stems to pump water.

    This leaves MORE valuable nutrients available for Lush growth, flowering,fruiting, and seeding.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L. tohelp your plants grow much more efficiently and reduce nutrient amounts.

  4. SAVE Space.
    - Using Nlite™ C.F.L. means you can place yourlights much closer to your plants.

    Less heat means you may place your lights closer to plants; often as closeas 8 or 9 centimetres. This really concentrates your good diffuse lightonto your plants; Exactly where it is needed, and not all over your growroom ! - unlike conventional 400w H.P.S. that needs to be at least 60cm.away; and the futher away the lamp is, the further the light spreads,and the weaker the light is when it gets to your plants.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L.tohang directly in the plany canopy to use 360 degrees of light. (no restrikeocclusion).

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L. to output light where its neededinstead of all around the grow room.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L. to increase your growingspace.
  5. SAVE on renewals.
    - Use Nlite™ to save ££every year - Dont keep buying new bulbs.

    Nlite™ C.F.L.s last 9000+ hours with typicallya 25% degrade in light output - nearly TWO YEARS ! - unlike conventionalH.I.D./H.P.S. that lose 10% of their output every 12-14 weeks; or 25%in just over 8 months.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L. to last4 times longer, and save you £££every year.

  6. SAVE the Planet.
    - By saving electricity, and water, and nutrients, and using recycledmaterials where you can, and recycing materilas where you can, YOU DECREASEyour carbon, and pollution footprints.

    Use Nlite™ C.F.L. tohelp reduce our dependance on the world's resources.


  7. SAVE even further.
    - By using PURPLE Nlite™'s, You only output the light frequencies that Plants use most efficiently. Which mean further saving off all the above, AND because there is very little green in the PURple lamps, Light pollution is very much reduced.
    See below for details.

Nlite™ - Quality Fluorescent lamps and fittings designed for PLANTS~


Control the shape and growth of your plants with light - Photoponics.

Introducing Nlite™ - a range of Quality Fluorescent lamps designed for PLANTS (also perfect for aquaria and reptiles).

Each lamp has choice of 3 colours :- Blue and Red and PURple™.

PURple™ ? YES. Introducing the Nlite™ PURple™

PUR stands for Photosynthetically Useful Radiation.

Humans are most sensitive to green light (green curve below). Wide spectrum light with lots of green appears to us as white.
Plants use a part of the sun's spectral range to grow. This is known as the PLANT ACTION SPECTRUM. (yellow curve)

Light energy in this range is measured as PAR - Photosynthetically Active Radiation.
Plants look green because they reflect most green light, and absorb most red and blue.
Plants therefore respond more to light from the RED and BLUE ends of the plant action spectrum.
PURple™ lamps have this ideal spectrum shaped the way plants "see" the light. (white curve) ( a little spike of green is left to allow US to see plants lit by PURple)

PUR is the amount of the PAR that the plants use efficiently.

Nlite™ lamps are made in 3 PUR colours. Plants change their growth response to different levels of these PUR colours :-
  • PURple - The Ultimate 100% PUR. Purple is perfect for all stages of plant growth, germination, root development, tuber and bulb formation and gives lots of internodal growth, and budsites. Great for orchids, cacti, ethnobotanicals, coral, sea plants etc. A small amount of NEAR UV ensures good production of essential oils - Great for Basil and other aromatic herbs.

  • BLUE 100% PUR. BLUE stimulates chlorophyll production more than any other colour, encouraging thick leaves, strong stems and compact vegatitive and leafy growth, keeps internodes close. Great for seedlings and cuttings. Perfect for plants cropped before flowering stage, such as lettuce and cress. With only blue light your plants stay short, and maturity takes much longer

  • RED 100% PUR. RED encouages maturation of fruit and flowers towards the end of growth cycle. Use exclusively for the finishing period to maximise your fruit or flower yields. Perfect for flowers, peppers, and tomatoes. Too much red and no blue early on will S...t......r....e.......t.....c....h... your plants and increase internode distance.
(By contrast HPS lamps give out 100% PAR, but only 33% PUR ! mostly they give out green and yellow and harmful infra red)

We recommend greater than 50 watts of Nlite™ per 30cm x 30cm (square foot) of horizontal canopy. Light distance can be as little as 3cm, the closer the better.



All Nlites™ are T5HO ! Thats 48% more light than standard T5.
Nlite™ Fluorescents have these Features and Benefits:-
  1. Low Power Operation , thus saving costs and earth resources
  2. Low working temperature allowing more light closer to your plants because of massive heat reduction.
    • 200W professional versions use separate ballasts to massively increase control over infra-red radiation (damages all plants), heat build-up, safety and humidity problems.
    • Seperate ballasts reduce future Economical and Environmental costs, only replacement lamps are needed. This significanly reduces replacement costs in subsequent grow cycles.
    • Separate ballasts increase light output, reduce electricity use. and run silently
  4. Plastic shell is made of recycled material.
  5. Reliable.
  6. 6 MONTH GUARANTEE against manufacturing defects.
  7. Best Quality well engineered PLANT fluorescent lamps.
  8. Compatible with ordinary E40 screw lighting fixture.


FAQS
What is Lumen output of these lamps ?
It's irrelevent ! Lumens are for Humans not plants ! Lumens measure how we see light. Our eyes prefer green light. Green light has the most Lumens, Red and Blue the least. Most fluorescent lamps are made to look bright for humans by adding huge spikes of greeny yellow light.
Lumens only measure how BRIGHT the light appears to us.
Lumens cannot measure light useful to plants - PUR

What is the Kelvin colour temperature of these lamps ?
The Red and Blue lamps DO have a Kelvin colour specification, but the PURple does not.
The Kelvin color simply describes to which temperature a block of Carbon must be heated in order to match the apparent colour of the lamp.
It does not measure the Quantity OR Quality of the light for growing plants.
PURple does not appear in the Kelvin scale as it is a mix of TWO colours.

What is the CRI ?
CRI allows comparison between different lamps ability to render color, It measures how much the Red and Green and Blue reflected light, looks RIGHT to our eyes.
It does not measure the Quantity or Quality of light useful to plants - PUR~~~1~1362~~
