Struggling to achieve professional-grade yields in your indoor garden? The Black Dog LED PhytoMAX-4 8S is the high-performance solution designed to bridge the gap between hobbyist setups and commercial results. Delivering a massive 1063 µmol/s from just 500 watts, this fixture ensures your plants receive the intense, targeted light they need to thrive without the excessive heat of traditional HPS systems.
Equipped with the proprietary Phyto-Genesis Spectrum, the PhytoMAX-4 8S goes beyond simple red and blue LEDs. It utilizes eight distinct LED colors, including UV and Near-Infrared (IR), to trigger specific physiological responses that maximize terpene production and floral density. Whether you are scaling up from a PhytoMAX-4 4S or looking for a more compact alternative to the PhytoMAX-4 12S, the 8S model provides the perfect balance of footprint and power for medium-sized grow spaces.
The SP variant uses a standard IEC cable rated for 100–250 volts, ideal for most home grow environments.
The SC variant is rated for 100–277 volts and features a locking, water-tight power connection designed for greenhouse and high-humidity use.
Uses eight LED colors for optimized plant response and maximum yield quality.
Evenly spread UV light builds resistance to pathogens and boosts terpene production.
Integrated cooling system extends LED lifespan and maintains peak operating efficiency.
Adjust brightness from 15% to 100% to match the specific needs of your plants.

Black Dog LED offers a comprehensive 5-year warranty for the PhytoMAX-4 8S. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and performance standards but does not cover operator error, modifications, or abuse.
The 8S is optimized for a flowering footprint of approximately 3.5' x 3.5' to 4' x 4', depending on light intensity requirements and hanging height.
Unlike standard white or purple LEDs, this spectrum includes UV and IR to better mimic natural sunlight, which improves plant health, increases secondary metabolite production (like terpenes), and results in denser flowers.
Choose the SP model for standard home use with 120V-240V outlets. Choose the SC model if you are in a commercial greenhouse environment requiring water-tight, locking power connections or 277V power.
Black Dog LED uses high-quality, long-life fans designed to be as quiet as possible while ensuring the LEDs stay cool for maximum longevity and efficiency.
The PhytoMAX-4 8S is compatible with most 0-10V dimming controllers. This allows you to simulate sunrise/sunset or reduce intensity for younger plants.
