HPS Technology
Classic High-Pressure Sodium Lamps for Indoor Plant Lighting
HPS technology (high-pressure sodium) is one of the most established lighting systems in indoor plant cultivation and has been used for many years in hobby and professional environments. The lamps produce a warm, intense light spectrum with high light output per watt, enabling uniform surface illumination. Particularly in larger rooms or spaces with high ceilings, HPS systems continue to deliver stable and reliable light values.
A characteristic feature of HPS lamps is their strong depth penetration, which carries light into dense plant canopies as well. This makes them a solid option for users who prefer a robust and proven technology. In combination with suitable reflectors and ballasts, the light distribution can be precisely adapted to room size and application.
HPS systems generate more heat than modern LED solutions. This can be an advantage in cooler rooms, as the additional heat helps stabilise the microclimate. High-quality ballasts, heat-resistant sockets and well-constructed reflectors ensure safe and efficient operation.
Even as LED technology gains importance in many areas, HPS remains a reliable choice for users who want to rely on proven technology, thanks to its uniform light output and robust components. At Schall & Rauch you will find carefully selected HPS lamps, accessories and compatible components – delivered quickly and discreetly from Linz.
