Agrolite SHP Mixed Lamp – HPS Bulb for Growth and Flowering

The Agrolite SHP Mixed Lamp is the ultimate tool for the practical grower: a single high-pressure sodium bulb designed to cover the entire life cycle of your plants, from the first days of growth to the final harvest, offering a perfect balance between performance and economy.

Why complicate your life with two different bulbs?

Every indoor grower has faced the same dilemma: having to buy a Metal Halide (MH) bulb for growth and a Sodium (HPS) one for flowering. This not only forces you to spend double the money, but also implies having to store delicate material and handle the equipment in the middle of the crop to make the change.

This process is a hassle. Changing a hot bulb or handling your reflector when the plants are already large increases the risk of accidents, breaking the lamp or stressing your crop. Plus, if you don't have a large budget, investing in two specific high-end bulbs can eat up resources you need for other essentials like Cannabis fertilizers.

The Agrolite SHP Mixed Lamp eliminates this problem at the root. Thanks to its corrected spectrum, it provides the necessary blue/white tones for vigorous vegetative development and the intense oranges and reds required for explosive flowering. You install it on day one and don't touch it until the crop is finished. It's the definition of efficiency and comfort.

How your grow improves with the Agrolite Mixed

By installing this lamp in your Grow tents, you are ensuring a continuous and stress-free light supply for your plants. The Agrolite SHP (Super High Pressure) generates a light with a color temperature of 2100K. Although it is predominantly yellow/orange (ideal for fattening buds), it has been enriched with a blue spectrum that prevents plants from stretching too much during growth, keeping internodes short and stems strong.

It is the perfect choice for those looking for professional results without the technical complexity of managing multiple lighting systems. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran looking to simplify your setup, this bulb offers you the reliability of HPS technology with the versatility you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a ballast to use this bulb?

Yes, like all HPS/SHP lamps, the Agrolite Mixed requires a magnetic or electronic ballast of the same wattage to work. You cannot connect it directly to the socket.

Can I use it for autoflowering plants?

Absolutely. In fact, it is an excellent option for autoflowering strains, as they require a constant light cycle (usually 18/6 or 20/4) and this mixed spectrum covers all their needs from start to finish.

At what distance should I place it from the plants?

It depends on the wattage. As a general rule: 250W at 25cm, 400W at 40cm, and 600W at 60cm. Always check the temperature at the tip of the plants to avoid burns.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

When I started growing indoors, the Agrolite Mixed was my battle companion. I remember that what I appreciated most was the peace of mind of not having to worry about changing the bulb exactly on the day of the photoperiod change. You simply change the timer to 12/12 and the lamp continues to do its job perfectly.

Although LED technology is pushing hard, I still recommend the Agrolite SHP 600W to growers who want a guaranteed harvest with a low initial investment. The density of the buds you get with this sodium light is difficult to match at this price point. Just remember to change it every 3 crops; even if it still lights up, the loss of lumens is noticeable in the final weight.
