Ideal for young plant production and general plant breeding, Lightwave is supplied with special T5 tubes that offer the optimum colour balance for plant growth.

When used for propagation, they will produce even healthier growth in most plant species. However, unlike other fluorescent lights, they can be used throughout the entire growth cycle to produce high quality mature plants.

The reduction in heat output allows for closer proximity to plants, as well as working in enclosed spaces without the heat build-up associated with HID systems.

T5 fluorescent tubes maintain light output longer and typically cost less than HID lamps.

Fluorescent tube lamps take up minimal space and can be hung vertically or horizontally.

T5 can stimulate both vegetative growth and fruiting and flowering. T5 tubes (6500 Kelvin) emit the brilliant blue/white needed for lush growth.

This light is perfect for young plant production and for all plant production in general. These tubes are highly recommended for all plant applications and have the added benefit of displaying showy plants – such as African Violets or Orchids – to their best advantage, emphasizing the rich, glossy greens of the foliage and the brilliant colors of the flowers.

Using T5 as its name, it is a guarantee of technology, elegant design, optimized and energy efficient, Lightwave promises to do wonders for your plants.

For crop reinforcement or for complete cycles. They produce short internodes and thick stems and, unlike other fluorescents, they can be used as the only light for the entire crop phase due to their performance and light penetration (it is advisable to alternate 2700 K tubes during flowering).

The tubes have a lifespan of 15,000 hours, with less than a 20% losing output over that period. To get the best performance it is recommended to change the tubes in the unit every 3 months. For general plant growing the 6500K tube is recommended as it is brighter and will show the plants in their natural colours.

The unit can be hung directly above plants and is ideal for propagating plants from seed or cuttings. Light should be provided to young seedlings as soon as they emerge and kept close to them. If the seedlings are too far from the light, they will tend to stretch and take on a spindly appearance. The LightWave is capable of producing compact, bushy seedlings as long as they are placed close to the light source.
