Optimum production is achieved in plants up to 2 feet (61 cm) in height and distanced about 7 to 12 inches (17 to 30 cm) from the light, and in a wide variety of configurations. It is especially effective in combination with small-scale hydroponics systems such as Emily's Garden.

The Sunstreamer can be used in several ways:

• As a personal grower in tight spaces such as a small closet
• In multiples for room-sized operations
• In combination with existing H.I.D.s
• As a light source for starts*

*Caution: The Sunstreamer can easily "burn" cuttings if placed too close. Keep lights about 4 feet away from new starts and no closer than 18" for young rooted starts.

The Sunstreamer is energy efficient, using little more electricity than a 100-watt incandescent bulb yet producing light many times the intensity! It's lux output very closely matches 300 to 400 watt halide. The Sunstreamer has a further advantage because it will restart easily in the case of a power failure or a voltage drop.

The key to the Sunstreamer's performance is threefold:

1. Custom designed, high-output electronic ballast with quiet, flicker-free operation
2. Highly reflective, custom-designed reflector >95%
3. T-5 Biax full-spectrum bulbs
