SANlight EVO-Series LED Grow Lights Overview

The new SANlight EVO-Series LED promises to be the next EVO-lution in LED grow light technology. Created for indoor gardeners, the SANlight EVO-Series LED brings you a range of full spectrum LED light fixtures. Being full spectrum means you can use them throughout the lifecycle of your plants – from propagation to harvest.

The size and output power (umol/s) available in the SANlight EVO-Series LED range covers everything from small prop’ tents all the way to professional Co2 grow rooms.

Newly designed 3D secondary optics ensure that >95% of the total photons produced are directed to your plants. Coupled with the full spectrum LEDs and the ability to dim, the aim is to give your plant everything it needs for its stage of growth.

The following lists some more benefits of the 3D secondary optics:

  • Optimal canopy penetration
  • Diffused, homogenised light

SANlight EVO-Series LED Grow Light Key Benefits

Let’s take a closer look at some of the key benefits of the EVO-Series LED Grow Light:

  • Advanced efficiency
  • 3D secondary optics
  • Best in class technology
  • Ready-to-dim
  • High quality IP65 waterproof connectors
  • Passive cooling
  • Daisy chaining

Advanced Efficiency

The SANlight EVO-Series was developed to offer you advanced efficiency, offering an output of more than 3µmol/J (at module level). During its development, the EVO-Series team paid attention to the light spectrum, looking to ensure the fixtures helped to produce class-leading yields per area (in tandem with gardening best practices). Their R&D team tirelessly trailed the fixtures, looking to fine-tune and optimise the spectrum to benefit light-hungry, photosensitive annuals. The resulting broadband light spectrum extends beyond the conventional PAR range to offer a far red to red ratio.

Red light works to positively influence photo-morphogenesis and the final quality and quantity of the harvest – convinced yet?

3D Secondary Optics – Performance and Protection

The SANlight Evo-Series LED introduces SANlights sophisticated development of three-dimensional secondary optics. These brand new asymmetric optics are optimized to the geometric dimensions of the fixture. They work to minimize losses by capturing more than 95% of the total photons created. The optimisation results in a highly dispersed light that bathes your plants in tailored light with improved intensity (PPFD). Combined with the reflective properties of modern grow tents/reflective sheeting, light losses are minimised.

The secondary optics also protect the LEDs from damaging environmental factors/contamination in high-humidity greenhouse/growing situations during the lifecycle of your plant’s cultivation. They’re also easy to keep clean, which helps to guarantee you a constant light output for many years.

Best in Class Technology

The SANlight EVO-Series LED grow lights are full spectrum and use leading-edge, highly efficient, OSRAM and Seoul Semiconductor WICOP LEDs.

The full spectrum is covered by the Seoul Semiconductor WICOP technology patented White LEDs. And the latest OSRAM High Power LEDs are used for red and far-red LEDs.

Ready-to-Dim

Each model in the EVO series is “ready-to-dim”. This means the fixture is compatible with typical, modern greenhouse control systems.

Dimmer Options – Bluetooth or Magnetic

The EVO-Series allows you to retrofit a compatible EVO-Series magnetic dimmer or EVO-Series Bluetooth dimmer. Compared to mechanical rotary potentiometers, the new SANlight solid-state, magnetic and wireless Bluetooth dimmer solutions last longer. Being solid-state means they’re wear-free, sealed units. This makes them perfect for use in humid, greenhouse conditions with better water ingress protection.

Both magnetic and Bluetooth dimmers can be dimmed between 0 and 100%. The Bluetooth dimmer is controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth Mesh technology via the SANlight Mesh App.

SANlight Mesh App

The SANlight Mesh App makes it easy for you to control several EVO-Series light fixtures at once. The Mesh App allows you to group individual lights. This means you can control individual groups independently from each other. The app allows you to dim the meshed lights at the same time with one slider.

Bluetooth Stealth Mode

Leaving the magnetic key fob attached to the Bluetooth dimmer puts it into stealth mode, so it can’t be found by unwanted devices.

High Quality IP65 Waterproof Connectors

The EVO-Series is the result of decades of development experience and learning to create unique, high-quality, IP65 waterproof connectors. All SANlight EVO accessories are IP65 rated, meaning your connections are protected from dust and water jets. Basically, they’re designed for harsh, greenhouse environments!

Interconnect and daisy chain cables include:

The ability to buy off-the-shelf connectors and accessories means you can easily (and safely) configure your system for dimming or daisy-chain to suit your system. The new range of cables includes a range of space-saving angled supply and extension cables.

Passive Cooling

The EVO-Series is a solid-state LED light fixture. Passive cooling provides you the ability to mount the light fixture closer to the edges of your grow tent, which provides more space in the middle of the tent for ventilation. All-in, this allows you to maximise the limited height in grow tents. Passive cooling allows simple and highly configurable hanging options. This also makes it really easy to change the angle of fixtures to direct the light where you want it.

The SANlight EVO-Series LEDs really shine when you want to grow in a smaller space versus a ladder-style LED light. As the image below shows, you can gain more height by using them in pairs and angling the fixtures to direct the light on to the plants.

Daisy Chaining

The EVO-Series introduces a plethora of connectivity solutions. SANlight have an eye on the future. They aim to protect the planet from the senseless production of cables that may never be used. With this in mind, SANlight took the decision not to include any power cables in the box. This allows you the ultimate in flexibility to create your own connectivity solution, perfect for your system and without wasting cables.
