Black Dog PhytoMAX-4 16S LED Grow Light - 16SC or 16SP | 1000W

Go BEYOND PAR with our Phyto-Genesis Spectrum

The Phyto-Genesis Spectrum has been finely tuned to not just grow plants, but to grow more compact, more productive and higher-quality flowers, fruit and leaves. Unlike most LED grow lights that use white or white and red LEDs, we incorporate 8 different LED colours to target specific responses from the plants, known as photomorphogenesis.

Our spectrum triggers plants' hormonal response to different colours of light and the ratio of these colours to minimize stem growth while maximizing flower and fruit production. Compact, bushier plants are not only easier to work with but also maximize yield per square foot.

Ultraviolet

• 3% ultraviolet light (<400nm) mimics the sun's natural UV light, keeping plants bushier and more compact, more resistant to pathogens and insects, and producing more terpenes and pigments.
• Unlike supplemental UV light bars, PhytoMAX-4 evenly distributes UV light across the entire growing area, and at a concentration that gives your plants the benefits of ultraviolet throughout the entire growing cycle, not just restricted to the last couple weeks of flower.

Infrared / Far Red

• Infrared / far red light (700-750nm) increases photosynthetic efficiency through the Emerson Effect. Too much can cause stem elongation but when paired with the right ratio of red and blue light as in the Phyto-Genesis Spectrum, it increases yields.

Violet

• Violet light (400-450nm) better penetrates dense plant canopies to nourish lower leaves, allowing high-quality flowers and fruit to grow lower on the plant.

Blue

• Blue light (450-480nm) triggers chlorophyll B photosynthesis more efficiently than green or yellow light, and helps keep leaves more compact for better canopy penetration.

Red

• Red light (600-700nm) drives photosynthesis, but can also cause plants to elongate their stems if not matched with an appropriate amount of blue light.

SP versus SC Models

The only difference between the SP and SC models is the power cord and the voltage it can handle.

SP model IEC power cord:

• Rated for 100-250 Volts
• Not recommended for greenhouse use

SC model locking, water-tight power cord:

• Rated for 100-277 Volts
• Locking, water-tight connection
