Electric Sky ES300 & ES180 Grow Lights
With indoor growing tents and cabinets exploding in popularity, LED grow light systems are quickly becoming the preferred choice of indoor growers.
The Green Sunshine Company created Electric Sky with energy efficiency and maximum yields in mind. Their wide spectrum lights accelerate growth and encourage heavy flowering, but they stay cool and consume far less power than HID systems.
No matter your indoor growing setup, Electric Sky lights will give you the right light at the right intensity to maximize your yields and speed up your growth.
Electric Sky LED Technology
When it comes to LED technology, Electric Sky is ahead of the pack. They designed their lights to mimic the sun. Instead of pointing straight down (like a spotlight) or all out, Electric Sky lights project light down and out (just like the sun).
How do the lights achieve this?
With 2-way linear lenses. Linear lenses help prevent light loss while improving canopy penetration and growth power.
Linear lenses direct the light away from your eyes and onto the plants at just the right intensity. Light is spread in a rectangular pattern, making these lights ideal for small growing areas.
Just the Right Type of Light
Many LED grow lights don’t provide plants with enough near-infrared light. The Green Sunshine Company’s lights deliver concentrated red and IR light for quick vegetative growth and heavy flower weight. The wideband spectrum is designed to mimic some of the sun’s infrared wavelengths, giving plants all of the right information to grow and maximize yields.
Near-infrared light does a few things for plants. First, it helps large flowers emerge sooner. It also helps accelerate vegetation growth and ensure that plants use light more efficiently. The penetrating spectrums activate growth underneath the canopy to maximize yields and harvests.
The wideband spectrum also means that you don’t have to switch bulbs or spectrums between vegetation and flowering stages.
Electric Sky Wideband Grow Light Systems
The Green Sunshine Company has two grow light systems to choose from: ES300 and ES180.
While similar in design, they are each designed for different growing situations.
Electric Sky ES300
The ES300 is a powerful system designed for rapid growth and heavy flower yields. It’s the highest yielding LED grow light in the Electric Sky line-up.
Features and Specs
- 300-watt grow light
- Covers 2.5’x5’ area
- 1,023 BTU
- Wideband spectrum
- 2-way linear lenses
- Maximum headroom
- Dimensions: 36”L x 12”W x 2.4”H
- Weight: 22lbs.
- Expected lifetime: 70,000+ hours (over a decade of growing)
- 3-year warranty
- 90-day money-back guarantee
Energy Efficiency
The ES300 offers true 300-watt power consumption for maximum energy efficiency. These lights have twice the output of HPS, but cost as little as $0.54 per day to run.
Just two of these lights can exceed the yield of a 1,000-watt HPS and while using only 600-watts. That’s an energy savings of 40%.
All Growth Stages
Full intensity adjustment allows these lights to cover all stages of growth. The company even includes a daisy-chain dimming kit, so you can control several different lights at the same time.
Quiet and Cool
One thing you’ll love about the ES300 is its quiet operation. These lights are nearly silent.
Passive cooling is provided with no additional moving parts. LEDs stay cooler, so you don’t have to deal with hot bulbs.
Durable
The ES300 offer a highly durable construction, and all LEDs are protected by lenses that are easy to clean. Electric Sky lights are made with a single, solid piece of aluminum, so you don’t have to worry about flimsy lights or damage.
Maximize Headroom
ES300’s near-field lighting brings your light just 12”-18” from your plants without burning them. So, you can grow giant plants even with limited headroom.
Recommended Grow Configurations
The Green Sunshine Company offers recommended configurations for their ES300 grow light.
- 1 light: Flower 2’x4’ – 3’x5’; Grow tent/veg 3.5’x7’
- 2 lights: Flower 4’x4’ – 5’x5’; Grow tent/veg 7’x7’
- 3 lights: Flower 5’x5’ or 4’x6’; Veg 7’x7’
- 4 lights: Flower 4’x8’ – 5’x10’; Veg 6’x12’
The great thing about this light system is that’s completely modular. Just add more lights to expand your footprint. And if you have a large growing operation, The Green Sunshine Company can help you find the right configuration for your needs.
Bonuses and Accessories
When you buy Electric Sky lights, you get more than just grow lights. You also get some bonus items and accessories, like:
- LED grow course that has tips and tricks to maximize your yields
- Easy hanging kit
- Dimming kit
- Stickers
Plus, The Green Sunshine Company will plant five trees in US National Forests with your purchase.
Happy Growers
Electric Sky ES300 reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Here’s what some users are saying:
“The Electric Sky was perfect for my grow space. I have a smaller [LED] board in my space that I need led glasses to work under. The lenses on the Electric Sky allow you to work on and see your plants without being blinded. And the lenses make for better light penetration and less light loss on the edges.” – Jay
“I was skeptical about purchasing these lights since everyone claims that their lights are the best on the market. All skepticisms were put to rest as the weeks passed. The growth rates are ridiculous! I damn near grew myself right out of the tent! Light coverage is perfect.” – Wil
Electric Sky ES180
The ES180 is a compact grow light that can cover a 2’x4’ area.
Features and Specs
- 180-watt grow light
- Wideband spectrum
- 2-way linear lenses
- 614 BTU
- Dimensions: 24.5”L x 12”W x 2.4”H
- Weight: 14.5 lbs.
- Expected lifetime: 70,000+ hours (over a decade of growing)
- 3-year warranty
- 90-day money-back guarantee
Energy Efficiency
The ES180 offers true 180-watt power consumption, which equates to about $0.34 per day. Just two of these lights exceed yields of 600W HPS lights while consuming just 360-watts. That equates to a 40% energy savings and with better yields.
Maximum Yields
The wideband spectrum and linear lenses help maximize yields while creating a pleasant growing experience. This setup also allows you to “aim” the light wherever your plants need the most growth.
Unlike other grow lights, you won’t lose much light to aisles and walls. Virtually all of your light will be directed to where it’s needed most: the canopy.
Plus, the Green Sunshine Company includes a dimming kit that allows you to adjust the intensity to just the right level for your indoor garden.
Light projects in a rectangular pattern, allowing it to concentrate its growth-accelerating power at your plants – not the walls. Plus, you can purchase two lights to create a perfect square of light.
Quiet and Cool
LED lights are naturally cooler, which means that you can place your lights near your plant canopy without worrying about burning your plants. The compact design of these lights allows you to grow heavy yields in small spaces and even in heat-sensitive areas.
The ES180, like the ES300, also has near-silent operation.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Electric Sky lights are built to last. They are made with a single, solid piece of aluminum, so there’s no need to worry about damaging your lights. The easy-clean lenses also make it easy to maintain your lights.
Recommended Grow Configurations
The Green Sunshine Company’s recommended grow configurations are as follows:
- 1 light: Flower 1.5’x3’ – 2’x4’ grow tent/closet
- 2 lights: Flower 3’x3’ – 4’x4’ grow tent/closet
If you have a grow area of more than 4’x4,’ just contact the company and they will help you find a solution.
Accessories and Bonuses
Like with the ES300, The Green Sunshine Company also provides accessories and bonuses with each purchase, including:
- An LED grow course with yield-maximizing tips and tricks
- Easy hanging kit
- Dimming kit
- Stickers
Plus, The Green Sunshine Company will plant four trees in US National Forests with your purchase.
If you have just a small space for growing, the ES180 is a great option. It’s compact and powerful enough to help your plants grow tall with heavy flowering.
Final Thoughts
Electric Sky grow lights help you achieve impressive growth rates and yields in even the most compact of spaces. The wideband spectrum ensures that your plants grow big and healthy. An energy efficient design saves you money, and the 2-way linear lenses ensure that your light is directed at your plants – not everywhere else.
The Green Sunshine Company is really onto something with their Electric Sky lights. A stay-cool, yield-maximizing design helps you achieve your growth goals even if you only have a small indoor growing space.
