HID Grow Lights
HID grow lights deliver the raw intensity and canopy penetration serious growers still swear by. Shop HPS, MH and CMH lamps, ballasts, reflectors and complete kits from proven brands, in stock in Australia.
Why Growers Still Run HID Grow Lights
The Full HID Grow Lights Range — HPS, MH & CMH
From 315W CMH lamps to 1000W double-ended HPS, plus dimmable digital ballasts, reflectors and PGZ18-to-E40 adaptors. Brands growers trust: Hi-Par, Lumatek, Gavita, Philips and Digi-Lumen.
Complete Kits, Ready to Hang
Skip the parts-matching. The Hi-Par 630W CMH kit and Dynamic E40 600W control kit pair lamp, ballast and fitting in one box — our most popular way into HID.
Straight Advice on HID vs LED
HID is cheaper up front; LED is cheaper to run. After 14 years growing under both, we'll tell you which suits your space before you spend a dollar.
Shop the rest of your lighting setup: grow lights, LED grow lights, grow light globes and under canopy grow lighting.
FAQs
Are HID grow lights still worth it compared to LED?
Yes, if upfront cost and proven flowering intensity matter most. HID hardware is cheaper to buy but costs more to run and cool — if power bills or tent heat are a concern, LED is the better long-term buy.
Do I need a specific ballast for HPS and MH lamps?
Yes. Lamps must match the ballast wattage, and CMH lamps need a low-frequency square-wave ballast — running them on a standard HPS digital ballast shortens their life. Check your fixture before buying globes.
Does The Grow Guys ship HID lights Australia-wide?
Yes. Every lamp, ballast and kit ships discreetly Australia-wide from our Tasmanian warehouse, with free shipping over $499*.
Welcome to The Grow Guys
We built The Grow Guys from the soil up — well, coco and perlite. Before we sold gear, we bought it, ran it, and learned the hard way what's worth the money and what ends up in the shed. That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
