Enhance the dynamics of your hydroponic setup with the Lumatek 50W FAR-RED LED Bar—an essential addition designed to extend the spectrum range of the ZEUS LED from 400-700 nm to a broader 400-750 nm. Perfectly compatible and easy to integrate with the popular ZEUS LED fixtures, this bar is a game-changer in horticultural lighting.
Harnessing the power of FAR-RED photons (701-750 nm) through the Emerson Enhancement Effect, the Lumatek FAR-RED bar promotes crucial plant behaviors such as stem elongation and leaf expansion during the vegetative and early flowering stages. This feature is pivotal for filling your grow area more effectively, optimizing space and light absorption. Additionally, its high efficacy allows for usage at the life cycle's end, significantly boosting photosynthetic efficiency and enhancing the plant's overall growth and health.
With a peak at 730 nm and outputs of 13 μmol/s (600-700 nm) and 140 μmol/s (701-800 nm), the Lumatek 50W FAR-RED LED Bar not only complements the full spectrum provided by ZEUS LEDs but also elevates the photochemical efficiency of Photosystem II (PSII), vital for thriving plant life.
This unit operates independently with its power source and offers the flexibility of daisy-chain connectivity through simple link cables. For ease of use, it features single input and output sockets for either the power cable or the daisy chain link cable, sold separately to cater to diverse setup needs.
Recommended Coverage: Designed to fit seamlessly into ZEUS fixtures, when combined with the full spectrum from ZEUS LEDs, a 10-20% FAR-RED to full spectrum ratio is achieved. For optimal results, integrate:
- A minimum of 2 units with ZEUS 465W PRO 2.9 for a 1.2 x 1.2 m area,
- ZEUS 600W PRO 3.1 or ZEUS 1000W XTREME CO2, both suitable for a 1.5 x 1.5 m area.
- A minimum of 3 units with ZEUS 1000W PRO for a 1.5 x 2.0 m area.
FAR-RED Application Advice: Always blend FAR-RED with the ZEUS Full-Spectrum range for balanced radiation. Ensure the proper number of units is installed per the recommended coverage and maintain appropriate distances from the canopy to avoid plant stress or damage. Adjust FAR-RED exposure by modifying the photoperiod according to plant response and growth requirements.
