I can remember the anticipation building inside me awaiting the delivery
of my first Eye Hortilux 1000 watt Hps Double Ended lamp. I am not one to take
manufacturer claims at first value so I have to test everything.
I compared that lamp against many other bulbs and Eye Hortilux 1000 watt Hps Double
Ended lamp came through outperforming all the other brands that I had tried.
In most cases there wasn't even a close match comparing end weights and overall quality
of the bud.
Now Eye Hortilux has come out with their version of a double ended
bulb, no they weren't first in the race to get double ends to the grower
but perhaps they may have brought one of the best lamps yet to market.
This bulb will sun drench your plants with an exuberance of useable radiation,
the radiation that your plants need to produce an awesome end product.

Why You Shouldn’t Dim Your Grow Lights
Your grow lights are not like your typical household lights. Your plants depend on indoor grow lamps to be operating at 100 percent in order to get the full benefit of your bulb's light spectrum.
Dimming does more than darken the room; it shrinks the overall effectiveness of a custom light spectrum. Light spectrums are specifically designed to provide the right wavelengths of energy for your plants. A dimmed light won’t provide the same exclusive spectral distribution and can change the quality of plant growth.
The Effects of Dimming Your Grow Lights
It’s understandable that some growers may want to dim their grow lights, but it’s best to keep your lamps at full power. Ultimately, it’s better to use a 600 watt grow lamp running at full power than to dim a 1000 watt bulb.
