Lumen8 dual spectrum lamps offer the highest performance lighting solutions available. Developed by the Lumen8 Lamp Design Technologies labs, the new Lumen8 Dual Spectrum HPS lamp is now available for growers of all levels who require the best results. These dual spectrum grow lamps have been designed by leading horticulturalists and utilise PAR (photosynthetic ally active radiation) lighting for optimum fruiting and flowering and increased yields.
The Lumen8 range of dual spectrum lamps produce blue and red light for optimum results and also produces additional UV for finishing and ripening. The results produced from these lamps are what every discerning indoor grower is looking for. The lamps are compatible with all magnetic and digital ballasts.
Prepare to be illumen8ed!!!


GIVE YOUR PLANTS THE OPTIMUM LUMEN8TION...

• Sophisticated arc tube coatings
• Improved build quality
• Patented durable construction
• Superior uniformity in light output
• Fast re-start capabilities
• Longer life
• Uncompromising light quality
• Reduced color shift
• Exceptional lumen maintenance
• Additional UV (Ultra Violet)

The added UV will be minimal is my guess. Unfiltered UV light is cancer causing. Exposure to it should be very limited as the damage is cumulative and may not show for years. See "Malignant Melanoma" or "Skin cancer".
