Our SunLite® fluorescent bulbs duplicate an amazing 94% of the solar spectrum. They provide the right colors and intensity of light so plants grow naturally and look great! There's plenty of red radiation for abundant blooms, plenty of blue for vigorous, stocky growth, plus a natural distribution of all colors in between.

  • The pleasant, no-glare light is good for people, as well as plants
  • Superior to other full-spectrum bulbs, and less expensive, too
  • Use 20% less power compared to old-fashioned fluorescent bulbs

Note: These bulbs are only for use in fixtures that are designed for T-8 bulbs

Comments about 4-ft SunLite® Bulbs, Set of 3:

Since switching to T-8 fixture and lights, I am able to grow everything faster. Have grown lettuce, parsley and dill for 2 all winter.
Seedlings are sturdier and I have had to adjust seed starting times as the maturity of the plants is faster. Great boost to my ability to start excellent seedlings!

Comments about 4-ft SunLite® Bulbs, Set of 3:

Fine bulbs but you can go to [...] and get the exact same T8 6500K 32 watt 2900 lumen bulbs for less than a quarter of the price! Also the hardware stores offer them in 5000K and 4100K as well if you need.

Have been using cool lights for years to start my seeds early. Finally realized that broad spectrum lights work much better. My plants certainly are responding nicely.

Comments about 4-ft SunLite® Bulbs, Set of 3:

We use these in our SunLite Garden and what a difference it has made on our seedlings! Before we got the lights our seedlings were spindly, craving for light. These bulbs and the whole system made all the difference. I bought replacement bulbs but still haven't had to use them. The last a long time. Best deal for your money.

I have found these bulbs to be extremely effective for lush plant growth. Many of my plants are better than anything I have seen at commercial retailers. They are very good for starting vegetable seedlings and indoor plants. I am more than happy with this purchase.

Comments about 4-ft SunLite® Bulbs, Set of 3:

Before I purchased these lights, my tomato seedlings were barely growing, after only a few days they really took off. I would not try to grow seedlings under shop lights again. These worked well and have held up well.

Comments about 4-ft SunLite® Bulbs, Set of 3:

I bought these bulbs (and the fixture that they came with) because I hoped that three bulbs would produce better seedlings than the two-bulb shop light I had been using. They did, but burned out before the seedlings were ready for transplanting. Gardener's Supply will replace the fixture and I still have high hopes for next spring. Because of this, I cannot really say whether I would recommend them or not.
