Collection: HID Lights & Equipment
HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting remains a popular choice for growers seeking powerful, efficient illumination across all growth stages. Ideal for both commercial and indoor setups, HID systems offer a strong light spectrum that supports vegetative and flowering phases.
Metal halide lamps emit a cool, blue-toned light for robust leaf and stem development, while high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps deliver a warm, red spectrum that boosts flowering and fruiting. Many growers combine both for a full-cycle lighting solution.
Digital ballasts enhance energy efficiency, reduce heat, and allow for dimming and multi-wattage support, while traditional magnetic ballasts offer a simple, reliable alternative.
Advanced lighting controllers automate dimming, switching, and temperature-based adjustments, helping mimic natural light patterns and reduce plant stress.
Explore our full range of HID lamps, ballasts, and lighting controls to create a tailored grow room setup that promotes healthy, high-yielding plants.

Digital Ballasts utilise the latest in energy-efficient technology to ensure you get the highest output of your HID lighting system. Digital ballasts use less power than coil/core magnetic ballasts. Our range of Digital ballasts are reliable and produce the lowest total harmonic distortion (THD) reading at the lamp. Ballasts power HID lamps such as HPS and MH lamps each lamp tailored to a specific phase of growing, using a reliable ballast is paramount to indoor gardening success.
Lamps & globes focuses on solely on hydroponic indoor lighting, so if you are looking for a replacement lamp HPS or MH globe this is the spot. Lighting has come a long way so finding the right lamp for your space is now even easier! Whether it be low level lighting to germinate seeds or more powerful lighting for grow and bloom you can rest assured that the lamps stocked in this section are the best in their class.
Finding the right hanging equipment can be tricky especially if your lights or reflectors are heavy, relying on drawstring yo-yos is impractical with todays standard of lighting. Safety should always be the top priority for each grow room. In here you will find solid state hanging equipment and the best of the best when it comes to reflectors, regarding reflectors, remember: cheap equipment actually doesn’t reflect/refract light at all so get elite equipment and you will notice the difference.
