New Product! 47" Double Row Full Spectrum Plus LEDs "Photon Rays" (Highest Light Requirement Plants)

This is a new product and a updated design. It is meant for the highest light requiring plants. The housing is made from high grade aluminum for great heat dispersing properties. This should not be used on low light requiring plants like Phalaenopsis.

It’s important to start your orchids out right. That’s what you can do with our Full Spectrum Plus Optimal LEDs. These LEDs are designed specifically for growing orchids and other houseplants. They are NOT LEDs from a big box store that are adapted for growing orchids and plants. What is the difference you might wonder? It’s the spectrum and housing. Our spectrum is a Full Spectrum plus the addition of Red LEDs along with a housing that compliments our rigorous requirements for the botanical environment. These LEDs are 2:1. 2 parts full spectrum white light (6500k) to one part Red LED. The advantage of this Red LED (660 nm) is chlorophyll strongly absorbs the red light given off of the LEDs and it can stimulate flowering. Therefore our LEDs are full spectrum and also have additional Red. All of our of our LEDs now have 10%+ Far RED (730 nm). This doesn’t mean the light is pink or red. To the contrary. The light that comes off of these LEDs is white. If you looked directly at the LEDs when it is on (you should never do this) you would see some of the LEDs are red, but when you put your hand under the light it is white. The best of both worlds!

Optimized spectrum for Orchids, Houseplants and Vegetables. We have a proven spectrum that works. Thousands of these LEDs have been sold and customers love the results they are getting with a multitude of various plants. They are water resistant. They can get damp while watering and they are OK. Low energy consumption. Each LED only uses a fraction of energy compared to florescent tubing or bulbs. 120 Degree Beam Angle. The light coming out from the LED is dispersed 120 degrees to help provide even coverage on your growing space. Daisy Chainable. Connect multiple LEDs together either by connecting them to themselves or by using our Jumper Cords while only using 1 Power Cord. They give off relatively no heat. You can touch them while running and they are only warm to the touch. Lightweight and easy to hang. Each LED weighs only several ounces. An amazing 240 chips in all. That’s right. 240 chips to deliver the optimal spectrum to your plants. The expected lifespan of the LEDs is 50,000 hours of operation. Running 16 hours per day will use 5,840 hours per year. They are expected to degrade less than 20% in 3 years. I suggest replacement every 5 years. Tested and proven by thousands of customers who have purchased them. Many hobbyists prefer these LEDs to other LEDs solely for the results they produce. They are seasoned and proven in the botanical community.

Test area 16” x 48''

2 LEDs at 8” 380 umol/m2/s
2 LEDs at 12” 286 umol/m2/s
2 LEDs at 16” 213 umol/m2/s

3 LEDs at 8” 515 umol/m2/s
3 LEDs at 12” 364 umol/m2/s
3 LEDs at 16” 287 umol/m2/s

These LEDs have an updated design and drivers that have been proven to last longer, so these LEDs have a 2 year warranty. You must pay the shipping and return the the LED within 2 years from your purchase date we will ship you a replacement of that LED or the closest LED available if we have updated our LEDs.

I personally grow my orchids on bakers racks or wire racks. Mine are 18″ deep and 48″ wide. I use 2 48″ LEDs per shelf, connect them all with one jumper cable per shelf, and then only have 1 power cord to plug in. So in the racks pictured above there 6 LEDs connected with 2 jumper cables and 1 power cord runs each rack. Each order of LEDs will come with 1 power cord for the first 2 LEDs and 1 Jumper per 2 LEDs thereafter. For other configurations please contact me. I keep these LEDs approximately 7″-9″ above my orchids. These LEDs are primarily used to grow higher light requiring orchids and plants. I’m able to consistently rebloom them each year without and problems. Other orchids that have bloomed and grown under these LEDs over the last year include: Cattleya, Dendrobium, Vandas, Carnivorous Plants, Toulmnia, Catasetem, Lepanthes and many more! Here is what I would recommend based on my own experiences and several other users of these LEDs who have successfully bloomed orchids. This should be your starting point and you can adjust from here. If you are unsure it is always better to start higher and then lower after a few weeks or a month. We also recommend you start at 10-11 hours and gradually increase your hours by 1 hour per month until you max out at 16 hours during the summer and then decrease in the winter back to 10 or 11 hours. This is up to you. Cattleyas 7-9″ above the canopy to the bottom of the LEDs Vandas 3″ above the canopy to the bottom of the LEDs

The LED of course, 2 Hanger brackets to clip onto the LED to aid with hanging it. You can then use a Zip tie, nylon rope or chains to hang them, and an end cap. Along with this you will receive 1 cord per 2 LEDs. It will either be a Power Cord for the first 2 LEDs you purchase and then you will get a Jumper Cord for the next 2 LEDs. For example if you buy 4 LEDs it comes with 1 power cord and 1 jumper cord. If you buy 6 LEDs it would come with 1 power cord and 2 jumper cords. The reason is you must have 1 power cord to power the run. The LEDs connect to each other with the cords that are on the LEDs. You do not need anything else between them. Most setups are on shelves and we always use 2 LEDs per shelf. So the first shelf gets a power cord and then each additional 2 LEDs will get a Jumper Cord to go to the next shelf and so on. If it is over 8 LEDs, then I start again with a Power Cord. As long as this is your configuration you do not need to purchase any cords. It will all be included. If this is not your setup then you can purchase any additional cords from the store.
