SunBlaster T5HO 6400K Replacement Lamp, 24"

The SunBlaster 24 inch T5HO Replacement Lamp is designed for indoor gardening and provides a bright, natural-daylight spectrum. It fits all standard T5HOs and will grow strong, healthy plants. It’s recommended to replace it after 10,000 hours of use.

Benefits to Plant Growth

Plants use light to make food and grow. These lights help keep the plants healthy in many ways:

• Better Photosynthesis: The lamp’s intensity and spectrum ensure that chlorophyll absorbs light energy more efficiently to promote healthy photosynthetic activity. Growers should look for accelerated leaf development and increased vigor.
• Even Light Spread: When paired with NanoTech reflectors, light is evenly dispersed across the plant canopy, reducing hotspots and shadows. This evenness is designed to make sure there are no dark spots on any part of the plant.
• Versatile Use: The lamps are perfect for vegetative growth while can be also used as indoor plant lighting for seedlings and supplementary lighting for mixed spectrum set-ups. They can be used with 2,700K or 10,000K lamps for flowering or rooting cycles.

Maintenance and Replacement

SunBlaster recommends changing T5HO lamps after 10,000 hours of use to assure maximum performance and light output. Even if lamps may look bright to the eye, after about 10,000 hours of use lamps will have lost 20% of their growing power while consuming the same amount of energy. The routine replacement of the lamp delivers constant spectral output and intensity.

Installation Guide

A fast, secure change of lamp can ensure a garden runs smoothly.

1. Always turn off and unplug the fixture prior to removing a lamp.
2. Twist the end caps gently to unscrew the lamp and pull out of the socket.
3. Dust off the fixture, reflector, and ballast. Check for wear or damage.
4. Align the ends of the pin with the fixture slots, push in, then turn to lock in place.
5. Plug in and switch on. Give the ballast some time to warm up and achieve maximum brightness.

Choosing the Right Lamp

The following should be considered when selecting replacement lamps:

• Wattage Match: Check the fixture's rating. This lamp’s power consumption of 24 W is to be synchronized with the ballast’s requirements.
• Light Spectrum: Use 6400K to promote vigorous vegetative growth. For bloom stages or seedlings use with lamps and with other Kelvin ratings such as 2700K or 10,000K.
• Pack Size: Lamps are supplied in singles or packs. Bigger packs can cost less and guarantee that the lamps are ready to go when the user needs them.

The SunBlaster 24 inch T5HO Replacement Lamp provides a full spectrum of light for indoor growing. With its low energy consumption, flexible geometry and obvious stipulation of replacement, it is an intelligent solution for both enthusiasts and professionals.
