Hydrofarm JSV2 2-Foot Jump Start T5 Grow Light System —The ...
When I was shopping for grow lights online I found a very helpful website that includes a much better description on the Jump Start grow light and has a lot of technical and very helpful information on plant lighting. Then you attach the light fixture itself, by hooking nylon string with s hooks attached to the top to either end of the light fixture. Because it is a low heat emitting bulb you can place the light source a couple inches from the plants to prevent the loss of light. I will be growing venus fly traps when they arrive and I have researched grow light systems quite a bit. So my light run for 14 hours will cost one dollar and fifty cents per month. This is my initial impression of the grow light system: like many other products on the market, this seems to have fallen prey to “make it as cheap as possible and charge too much for it”. Luckily, Amazon’s price is better than others’. This is assuming that the light runs at 24 Watts per hour. That is the price it will cost to power the light for one hour. I ordered the JSV2 2′ grow light jump start system and it arrived pretty quickly and set up was a breeze. I put it together in about 10 minutes and the pully system for the light comes already assembled and works great. The product isn’t industrial grade but the light fixture is sturdy and so is the stand if you put it together correctly. It is a good first step into the grow light world which is vast and and many times confusing. The only difference I can tell from the written description is that this product is described as having a premium light fixture. The light is raised and lowered with the nylon string, very similar to a heavy venetian blind. The website has a grow lighting guide and also contains the calculation above. 1484 (cost per kWh) =. 0035616 cents per hour (less than 1 cent an hour). Then just multiply the cost of one day by 30 days and you have how much it will cost you to run the system for a month. It includes a good bit of information about the T5 6400k bulb and the Jump Start from HydroFarm. It also comes with a 24 watt T5 6400k High output fluorescent bulb which is already installed upon arrival. Then multiply that number for one hour by however many hours you will run it during the day. I did notice that there are 3 very similar hydrofarm 4 foot grow systems listed on amazon, with a $15 price-range difference. The 6400k bulb is a very efficient low heat bulb which is designed to promote overall growth in the plant. This product is exactly what I expected for the price, product description, and pictures. 0035616 x 14 hours =. 0498624 dollars per day (about 5 cents). For the price it would be hard to find a package which comes with a stand, a reflective fixture, a good bulb, easy adjustment, and easy assembly. The calculation can be done by taking the 24 Watts and dividing it by 1000 to get KW. Then multiply that number by how much the electric company charges per Kilowatt hour. Then each of the vertical side bars slips into the top piece (metal button is pressed and then releases into a hole on the top piece). One of the other 4 foot hydrofarm systems received a few positive reviews.
These products include: high-intensity discharge lamps, T5 and T8 fluorescent lamps and LED luminaires. The marquee attraction is the LED-illuminated arc,
