Why Sunmaster®

Experts in Plant Growth Lighting

The basic principles behind photosynthesis support the case that effective lighting is the main determining ingredient for the production of strong, healthy plants. No other variable (nutrient ratios, CO2 enhancement, growth medium, etc) surpasses the importance and overall power of light as it relates to the success of any hydroponic system.

Backed by years of development, practical experience, and a synergistic focus on lamp technology and plant science, Sunmaster offers a select group of lamps and ballasts tailored specifically to support particular growth phases, encourage healthy development, and increase yield. Thousands of growers worldwide rely on Sunmaster, from one-lamp hobbyists in Australia to large indoor lettuce farmers in Newfoundland.

SUNMASTER knows LIGHTING

Sunmaster is a specialized channel within Venture Lighting International, an integrated company focused on HID lamp and ballast manufacturing. As a world leader in lighting technology, Venture provides a network of strong capabilities that support Sunmaster’s manufacturing and research efforts including:
• Designer of over 90% of the world’s metal halide lamps.
• Developer and supplier of most of the world’s supply of HID lamp chemicals
• Facilitator of Smartpac® recycling, an environmentally-friendly HID lamp recovery system

SUNMASTER knows PLANTS

Sunmaster works with horticultural groups and major universities to further understand the specific lighting requirements for individual plants with regard to intensity and spectral output. Enhancements in lamp construction and chemical dosing are developed internally to meet varying plant needs based upon these findings. Sunmaster focuses on understanding photosynthetically active radiation to optimize light output in conjunction with growth cycles and/or plant types.

SUNMASTER means QUALITY

From ISO 9001/2000 certified divisions to state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, Sunmaster delivers robust products with quality leading our business. Sunmaster lamps have been moving to a very unique ‘weldless’ mount construction, allowing for much higher shock resistance and tighter optical control.

SUNMASTER DELIVERS
