UV And Far Red Grow Light Tubes' Open Beta Accepting Qualified Cultivators
SpecGrade LED's UV and Far Red horticulture light tubes enter the beta testing phase. Select cannabis cultivators are actively testing the new technology in their environments. The official launch date for the UV and Far Red grow lights is TBD. SpecGrade LED is actively accepting applications to join the open beta to test their new grow light technology.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The UV and Far Red supplemental light tubes are super lightweight with a 150-degree beam that is rotatable for directed lighting. The UV spectrum peaks at 400nm while the Far Red peaks at 730nm. With several options for mounting, the UV and Far Red light tubes are extremely flexible meeting the demands of any growing environment. Like all of SpecGrade LED's horticulture lighting solutions, the UV and Far Red light tubes are IP66 rated.
"Growers are asking for UV and Far Red spectrums as new research indicates that these spectrums are highly beneficial for their plants. Cannabis growers have been the earliest adopters of the new spectrums," said Rick Nathans, CEO for SpecGrade LED. "Although other manufacturers are expanding their existing spectrums to include more of one or both of these wavelengths, we chose to create independent modular tubes that can be integrated into any existing grow light system. When you consider the rated life of approximately 10,000 hours for UV and Far Red LEDs, the grower does not want this integrated in with other LED chips that have a 50,000 hour rated life due to the fact that the UV and Far Red only needs to be on for a handful of minutes each day. Our early testing made it clear that separate light bars would be both more functional and flexible for cultivators enabling them to decide exactly where and how much of these wavelengths to use in their environments."
The UV spectrum research indicates that it improves the production of terpenes and essential oils, compounds prized by cannabis cultivators, during the vegging stage. It has also been shown to reduce pests, inhibit bacteria and fungus growth, and increase yields. UV exposure during propagation has been shown to improve the hardiness of plants and reduce overall production time. Research indicates that Far Red increases photosynthesis efficiency and influences the ultimate size of plants from the leaves to stem length. It has also been shown to promote flowering in some plants, such as cannabis, which can further shorten production time for cultivators.
SpecGrade LED's supplemental UV and Far Red light tubes are dimmable and daisy-chainable allowing cultivators to decide how to apply these spectrums. Providing flexibility is one of the hallmarks of SpecGrade LED's design approach to horticulture lighting. Initial feedback from cultivators participating in the beta test has been positive.
