The Luxelite PlantUV 24 Watt supplemental lighting simulates intense midday sun and provides a targeted UV light spectrum that is proven to promote plant growth, resin production, and resistance. The combination of UV-B (12%) and UV-A (30%) boosts the formation of secondary plant compounds, terpenes, anthocyanins, and chlorophyll. The result is robust plants with enhanced aroma, more intense color, and increased harvest quality.
