Drench your plants in the full-spectrum fluorescent light they need with SunBlaster, a complete grow light system for seedlings and tender plants. The two components of this collection are the the 24-inch T5H0 plant light with crystal reflective layer, and the one-size-fits-all light stand.

First, the SunBlaster NanoTech Plant Light and Reflector Combo. Have you ever wondered why a light tube shines onto the hood as well as down onto the plants, wasting considerable light and heat? Well, using nanotechnology, the good folks at SunBlaster have come up with a simple, elegant solution that recaptures nearly all that lost light and trains it onto your plants.

This grow light features a micro-thin layer that slips between lamp and ballast, neatly slotting into the metal grooves. Once installed (in seconds, by hand), it captures 100% of the light and heat previously lost, and reflects 99.9% of it back onto your plants. The results? Deeper penetration of the foliage, brighter light (up to a 300% increase in lumen availability) and, interestingly, a more even distribution of heat. All of these are very, very good things for your plants. Secondary benefits include a longer lamp life: you don't need as many hours, so equipment lasts longer. It's just a win-win-win-win.

The SunBlaster NanoTech Plant Light and Reflector Combo comes with a 39-watt, 24-inch T5H0 plant light complete with ballast and hood, plus a crystal reflector. The entire light fixture fits into the SunBlaster Universal T5 Light Stand.

The SunBlaster Universal T5 Light Stand is simple, lightweight, very durable, and completely adjustable. It puts light just where you need it, so your seedlings and plants grow their best. It's easy to use and endlessly versatile, thanks to its innovative design.

The principle is very simple, and this light stand is far less clunky than older models. Two 18-inch-high support bars of powder-coated aluminum hold the light hood in place, and adjust with four O-rings that slide up and down the bars. The base is secured with 6 anti-skid pads and a wide yet compact surface area. Two light grips hold the 24-inch T5 bulb perfectly, and can be adjusted if you ever want to change to an 18-inch, 36-inch, or even 48-inch model. The whole thing assembles in seconds, and then you plug it in and adjust it to that optimal 3- to 6-inch range above the tops of your seedlings or plants. That's all there is to it.

T5 full-spectrum bulbs are the ones recommended for plant growth. They offer full-spectrum light of the type plants need for optimal growth, and if you've been making do with under-the-cabinet kitchen fluorescents or the good old late-winter sun shining through the window, you'll be amazed at the difference proper lighting makes to the size, speed, branching, and color of your seedlings. They shoot right up, and out.

The Universal T5 Light Stand is made of durable aluminum and injection-molded plastic for a lifetime of rust-free, warp-free, crack-free use. You'll like how it effortlessly glides into position and keeps its pose. Best of all, it fits just about anywhere near a socket.

You're on your way to big, healthy seedlings every spring, not to mention lush tropicals and strong rooted cuttings, with this economical collection.
