Some of the great features of this Sun Blaze T5 HO grow light fixture include low heat emission and even light spread through all the bulbs.

-
Well the fact that they give out very little heat firstly lets you put your plants just a couple of inches below these lights and they won’t cause any heat related damage to them for example you won’t get heat burns that can result in irreversible damage to your plants.
-
Secondly, your grow room will also be much cooler than if you used different grow lights.

And the best part of this light is that it even comes with small louvers on the sides for even better ventilation and even smaller chance for your lamps to overheat. The ventilation holes let your growing fixture to cool off and that means longer life for your 2 feet t5 grow lights as they work better in cooler conditions.
But the even light spread means that the light diffusion is very good and there is very little chance of having hot spots where the plants get more intense light and therefore grow bigger than others and your garden isn’t uniform anymore.
