Lamps
All Sunmaster® lamps have been enhanced for operation on high frequency digital ballasts. Each electrode in the lamp uses a special blend of Nickel (Ni 65%) and Copper (Cu 30%). With Sunmaster’s spectral families, each lamp is tailored to promote optimum development at each plant growth stage. Specifically designed to provide high PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) values, Sunmaster leads the field in product innovation and plant lighting research.
Pure Power. Sunmaster develops and manufactures the highest output hydroponic lighting systems available, using state-of-the-art design and over 20 years of lamp R&D. Sunmaster is manufactured by parent company Venture Lighting, innovator of over 80% of the world’s metal halide lamps and producer of over 90% of the world’s supply of HID lamp chemicals.Quality. Parent company Venture Lighting has developed and produced much of the world’s HID lamp manufacturing equipment, providing a solid foundation for tight process control. Most Sunmaster lamps incorporate a unique ‘weldless’ frame that assures consistent reliability and the most robust mechanical design in the industry.
Technology. When developing lamps, Sunmaster concentrates on providing high PAR values focused on distinct areas of the spectrum. Ongoing cooperative testing at leading horticultural universities provides independent, quantifiable data to support performance claims.
Spectral Solutions. Sunmaster lamps are chemically tailored to promote optimum development for various plants and growth stages.
Yellow Blossom – Strong orange-red component for maximum flowering
Red Sunrise – Enhanced orange-red component for flowering
Green Harvest – Promotes both flowering and vegetative growth
Blue Ice – Strong blue content for vegetative growth
Ballasts
Sunmaster ballasts are the only magnetic ballasts specifically designed for the hydroponic industry. Developed and produced by parent company Venture Lighting, Sunmaster develops both ballast and lamp, insuring optimum output and reliable performance.
High Output. Sunmaster ballasts drive HID lamps to their proper wattage which equates to measurable increased light output and significant gains in plant yield. Ongoing independent testing at the University of Guelph has proven significant plant response when using Sunmaster systems including higher yield, greater biomass, and increased flowering.

Why Sunmaster®Experts in Plant Growth LightingThe 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 LIGHTINGSunmaster 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 PLANTSSunmaster 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 QUALITYFrom 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.
