HID (high intensity discharge) lights are used for most horticulture applications. All HID lights need a ballast, socket, bulb and reflector to work properly. Using HID type lighting is the most efficient way of turning electricity into intense, usable light for plants. Fluorescent lighting can be used for low-light plants or for starting cuttings and seedlings.
