The Ecotechnics Diamond grow light kit is a top grade plant lighting system, featuring the appropriately named Diamond reflector from Ecotechnics. This kit, although similar in price to our SuperNova grow light kit, cannot be measured in the same way. The diamond reflector puts down a serious amount of light from your grow lamp, and delivers much more light towards the outer edges of its coverage, providing a much more even lightspread. This kit is for those that want serious performance, and who are willing to work with the technology to achieve this (as with more light, comes more heat).
The Reflector
The Diamond reflector from Ecotechnics is one of the best reflectors you can buy. There is a video at the bottom of this page which shows you why and how it achieves this status, but here's a brief rundown: The unqiue diamond shape of the reflector significantly increases the amount of light your plants receive. Most reflectors send higher concentrations of light towards the middle of your growing area and less towards the edges, whereas the diamond reflector creates a high intensity lightspread pattern that is so uniform, that your plants receive almost the same amount of light both in the middle and at the edges of your growing area. The result? All your plants grow the same, thus increasing the success of your grow.
The Lamp
Then, it comes to the bulb... We are bundling the highly acclaimed Sunmaster Dual Spectrum grow lamp with this package (just select your wattage from the options above). You may have seen cheaper kits with unbranded bulbs, but when it comes to growing plants, light is king. So why compromise? This lamp will serve both the vegetative and flowering phases of plant growth - it's not just an all rounder, but a grow lamp that will produce fantastic results throughout all stages of plant growth. Sunmaster lamps are amongst the best grow lamps in the world.
The Ballast
The ballast we include is the Maxibright magnetic ballast. It is a traditional magnetic type ballast. Sure, you can opt for a more expensive digital ballast, but the Maxibright is quiet, compact and one of the most reliable ballasts you'll ever own - it will keep doing its job in the background with no hassle, which is exactly what you want from a ballast.
The Bottom Line
We highly recommend this grow light kit as it offers incredible performance, increased harvests, more even plant growth across the whole growing area and is great value. We do however suggest that you make sure ventilation is adequate, as this reflector puts down more light and heat than most other reflectors. Other than that, you can be sure of achieving exceptional results with this kit.
Note: The Diamond grow light kit is available in 250w, 400w and 600w, with the 250w and 400w versions coming with the smaller fitting Diamond reflector and the 600w version coming with the larger fitting Diamond.
