GE LUCALOX PSL BULBS
High Pressure Sodium Bulb

Premium Horticulture Bulbs

The GE Lucalox™ PSL bulb is designed for greenhouse use. The lamps offer the benefits of stable lumen and micromole maintenance and a full spectrum content that promotes photosynthesis. Photosynthesis Active Radiation (PAR, measured in micromole/sec) is essential for plant growth. LucaloxTM is available in three power strengths, 400W, 600W and 750W.

Measured in micromole/sec, the increased PAR output of the Lucalox™ XO PSL lamp best simulates natural daylight to maintain plant growth under artificial lighting conditions. The PAR value of 400-750W LucaloxTM PSL products is on average 5% higher than the standard products.

PAR

Photosynthesis Active Radiation (PAR, measured in micromole/sec) is essential for plant growth. GE Lucalox™ PSL (PhotoSynthesis Light) high pressure sodium lamps are designed to produce the best possible PAR performance and this performance is covered by warranty.

PAR Maintenance

Under the same controlled conditions, initial reference PAR value refers to the lamp light output after 100-hours burning. Due to variations in systems and service conditions (in particular the burning cycle and the operating system), actual lamp performance can vary from the reference PAR ratings.

 

Features/Benefits

 

These bulbs are designed to work with our electronic ballasts. Features include:

  • Robust construction using extra rugged monolithic arc tubes
  • Reliable starting technology
  • High xenon-filled gas for extra light and PAR output
  • More resistance to main voltage fluctuations
  • Zirconium gettering system improves PAR maintenance that drives constant and uniform plant growth.
  • The diameter of the frame wire in the lamp has been minimized to reduce shading in the installation without affecting the robustness of the lamp.
