YOUR GUIDE TO THIS MONTH’S HOTTEST ITEMS
Compost Gets a Makeover
With Sunleaves
Introducing the AT120 Light Series
From Apache Tech
Apache Tech has developed a light that meets all your needs.
The AT120 series of lights uses the most efficient LED chips on
the market that produce 120 lumens per watt. The AT120 array
produces more useable PAR than most 600 watt HID lamps,
while consuming approximately 80 per cent less energy.
The wavelengths were scientifically chosen to optimize plant
growth and production. The Apache Tech LED chips are rated
to work for at least 50,000 hours (>five years). Visit your local
indoor gardening shop for more information.
Kitchen waste gets a shiny,
eye-catching receptacle with the
Sunleaves Stainless Steel Compost
Can. The can stands 11 inches tall
with a seven inch diameter, and
has a 1.16 gallon capacity. The
exterior also has an attractive satin
finish. The lid includes a double
layer replaceable carbon filter (one
round filter for the top of the lid and one square filter for the
bottom of the lid) to keep odors at bay. Contact your local
indoor/outdoor gardening shop for more information on the
Sunleaves Stainless Steel Compost Can.
Sola Cool Solar Powered Cooling Kit for the Xtrasun 6”
Let your reflector shoulder some of the workload with the Sola Cool Solar
Powered Fan. The easy-to-install Sola Cool kit works with Hydrofarm’s
Xtrasun six reflector (XT6AC), and consists of a solar panel array (56 mini
solar panels) and a silent operating fan. The unit easily mounts inside the
reflector using four magnetic nuts, which positions the fan in the center
of one of the flanges. When your bulb turns on, the fan springs to life and propels a cooling breeze
through your reflector. For more information visit an authorized Hydrofarm retailer near you.
HypoTek Digital Ballasts
Designed by growers for growers, HypoTek Digital Ballasts are a Northern California
favorite. Heat-dispersing fins cover the entire outside of these ballasts helping to
eliminate trapped heat. Rubber feet help prevent vibration, reducing noise. All models
run both MH and HPS lamps, are compatible with ‘Type S’ reflectors and include a
built-in surge protector. The 1,000 and 600 watt models have internal cooling fans and
are resin-coated to prevent RF interference. The 1,000, 600 and 400 watt models are
dimmable, featuring the Super Bright option for 10 per cent more lumens. For more
information talk to your local hydroponics retailer.
