HID Grow Lights

HID lights remain a trusted choice for growers needing deep canopy penetration and time-proven results. Shop high-pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide (MH), and ceramic metal halide (CMH) fixtures; ideal for demanding flowering and full-cycle use.

These high-intensity discharge grow lights deliver intense light and solid spectral coverage, often at lower upfront costs. With proper reflectors, cooling, and ballasts, HID setups can support large grow spaces with reliable heat management and high output, perfect for serious cultivators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are HID grow bulbs better than LED?

Not generally. HID lights deliver intense output, traditionally prized for flowering stages. However, LEDs have caught up in both efficiency and yield. Customers report that LEDs can deliver equal or higher yield per watt compared to HID and LEDs now surpass HID in efficacy due to ongoing technological improvements.

What uses more power, HID or LED?

HID (High-Intensity Discharge) grow lights, such as HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) and MH (Metal Halide), consume significantly more electricity than LEDs to achieve equivalent lighting performance. LEDs are roughly 50–70% more energy-efficient, meaning they use considerably less power for the same plant light output.

What's the impact on overall energy costs?

In a typical grow tent (e.g., 4'×4'), the lighting can account for up to 80–90% of total energy consumption, so cutting LED usage by half leads to substantial savings. Additionally, lower heat output from LEDs means reduced ventilation or air-conditioning energy, compounding the savings
