Superplant Super Red 250 Watt
Superplant Super Red 250W – Enhanced Red Spectrum HPS for Maximum Flowering Performance
The flowering phase is where results are made or lost. The Superplant Super Red 250W is purpose-engineered to maximise performance during this critical stage with an enhanced red spectrum at 2000K that reaches deeper into the red wavelengths than conventional HPS lamps. For growers with compact grow spaces who want professional flowering results on a realistic budget, this lamp delivers measurable advantages over standard HPS technology.
Enhanced Red Technology: Beyond Standard HPS
Standard HPS lamps produce a broad orange-red spectrum that works adequately for flowering. Superplant's Super Red technology takes this further by shifting the spectral peak towards deep red, the wavelength band that exerts the strongest influence on flower formation and fruit maturation. Plants respond to this enriched spectrum with increased production of flowering hormones, resulting in denser flower clusters and accelerated ripening.
Performance Specifications
The Superplant Super Red 250W outputs 32,500 lumens with a PPF of 446 µmol/s, providing effective coverage over an 80×80 cm grow area. The E40 base ensures universal compatibility with all standard 250W ballasts, both magnetic and electronic.
Maximise Output with Electronic Ballasts
While the Super Red 250W performs reliably on magnetic ballasts, optimal results are achieved with an electronic ballast. The higher operating frequency of electronic ballasts stabilises the arc discharge, producing a more consistent spectrum and up to 20% more luminous output. Electronic ballasts also run cooler and consume less energy, further reducing per-cycle costs.
- 32,000-hour rated life: one of the longest lifespans on the HPS market, significantly reducing replacement costs across multiple seasons.
- Dekra CE and RoHS certified: independently tested and approved to European safety and quality standards.
- Up to +5% yield increase: the enhanced red spectrum produces denser, heavier flowers compared to standard HPS lamps.

What is the difference between the Superplant Super Red and a standard HPS lamp?
The Super Red features an enhanced red spectrum at 2000K that reaches deeper into the red wavelengths than standard HPS lamps. This shift stimulates flower formation and fruit ripening more effectively, producing denser flowers and up to 5% more yield. A standard HPS emits a broader orange-red spectrum that is also suitable for the vegetative growth phase.
