G E Lighting 93097589 Led T8 Grow Lamp 18W 48 Inches

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 93097589 is an 18-watt LED T8 horticultural grow lamp designed to support plant growth in controlled-environment applications. Running at 18W with a balanced spectrum tuned to a 3:1 red-to-blue flux ratio, this lamp delivers targeted photon output for seedling development and leafy green production. It carries a CRI of 80, a rated life of 25,000 hours, and a maximum overall length of 48 inches. The lamp ships with a 13 bi-pin base configuration and is non-dimmable. It is installed by electricians, greenhouse technicians, and commercial horticulture facility managers working with T8-compatible fixture systems.

This lamp is suited for indoor horticultural environments including vertical farms, propagation rooms, seed-starting benches, and commercial greenhouse supplemental lighting. The balanced spectrum with a photosynthetic photon flux (PFF) rating of 36 supports both germination and vegetative growth stages for seeds and greens. The fixture housing must be rated for damp locations, as this lamp is listed as suitable for damp location use. It is not intended for fruiting or high-intensity flowering applications that require a narrower red-dominant spectrum.
