Hortilux Metal Ace Metal Halide (MH) Conversion Lamp, 1000W

Most beginners don’t realize that:

• HPS = red spectrum = flowering & fruiting
• MH = blue spectrum = vegetative growth

Normally, you need two different ballasts to run both lamp types. The Metal Ace removes that barrier.

This lamp gives new growers:

• Strong blue light for seedlings, clones, veg
• Ability to switch back to HPS for bloom
• A full-spectrum workflow without buying new hardware
• A simple “plug‑in and grow” upgrade path

🔧 How It Works

• It’s built as a metal halide lamp engineered to operate safely on HPS ballasts
• No rewiring, no new fixture, no ballast swap
• Just screw it in like a normal lamp
• Provides MH spectrum for structure, internode spacing, and plant health

🌞 What You Can Grow With It

Vegetative crops & early-stage plants:

• Leafy greens
• Herbs
• Microgreens
• Seedlings & clones
• Young cannabis plants (veg stage)
• Ornamentals needing compact growth

It’s not a flowering lamp — growers switch back to HPS for bloom.

♻️ Lead-Free Construction

A simple but important retail point:

• 100% lead-free
• Safer manufacturing
• Cleaner disposal
• Better for greenhouse and indoor environments

“Metal Ace gives you metal halide vegetative spectrum on your existing HPS ballast — no upgrades, no rewiring, just better plant structure.”
