Lumatek introduces to growers the most powerful grow light on the market, the Zeus 1000W Xtreme PPFD CO2 LED. Designed for 1.5×1.5m coverage with Supplemental CO2 for optimal efficiency and results. The brightest just got brighter.
The higher specification Lumatek Zeus 1000W Xtreme PPFD CO2 LED is a linear multi-light bar fixture producing extremely high levels of PPF of 2925 µmol/s and a very high efficacy of up to 2.9 umol/J. The fixture efficacy will vary depending on the Input Voltage used.
The new line of Zeus is built using high quality Lumatek drivers and latest generation top bin LEDs from Lumileds and Osram, generating a full-spectrum light source ideal for veg and flowering cycles. Another new feature of this line is the Clear Glue protection cover technology on the LED bars; resulting in higher light transmittance of 99% without light loss, extended lifetime of diodes, extra corrosion resistance and high waterproof of IP65. For basic maintenance, simply clean the bars with wet cotton.
The Zeus 1000W Xtreme PPFD CO2 produces extreme high levels of light intensity which requires the use of supplemental CO2 for those who plan to grow on 1.5×1.5m grow areas with short distances from Canopy to the light.
The use of CO2 with this fixture is not mandatory, but to run it without it, then we recommend a longer canopy distance to the light, ensuring the optimal PPFD levels accordingly to the grow stage. Using this last method the expected optimal coverage area gets to 1.8×1.8m but with lower levels of PPFD intensity concentration.
Supplementation use of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in your controlled environment can significantly improve the yield of your crop if used correctly. In general a good rule is that once you exceed 1000 µmol/s/m2 PPFD levels, you should be 1:1 with CO2 PPM – up to 1500. So at max PPFD = 1500 µmol/s/m2, CO2 would be 1500 PPM (a little lower, 1400 PPM may be the safest to start).
