  • You are upgrading to a high-density light array because your current setup produces hot spots that burn the top of your canopy.
  • You are switching to a daisy-chainable system because your current manual control setup creates too much cable clutter.

  • We like how the bar design pushes light into corners without the heat intensity issues we see with single-point COBs.
  • The detachable driver is a life-saver when you need to keep your root zone temperature down during the summer.

  • Growers who swapped to these bars report that they stopped seeing bleached tips on their tallest plant material.
  • Users who integrated the smart controller say they finally spend their evenings away from the facility without stress.
