100W full-spectrum supplemental light Lumatek BAR 2.9

The high-tech newcomer in the area of cultivation lights in the form of an individual supplementary LED bar with a full light spectrum from the British brand Lumatek is described by the manufacturer in two words – perfection and versatility. Follow this article down to the roots of these ambitious epithets, which certainly do not overstate the product.

A very practical full-spectrum LED bar, manufactured by pioneers in the field of LED grow lights, was developed for a wide range of applications within indoor cultivation and thus significantly simplifies the process of optimizing herb growth like no supplementary lamp before. What uses does it find in practice?

• Primary light source for clones and seedlings or for seed germination in a propagator.
• Supplementary lighting for shaded spots in a grow tent or room.
• Supportive lighting on the top, bottom or sidewall of the cultivation space.

You may already know that Lumatek is among the manufacturers that publish truly relevant data about their products' performance, so you will certainly be interested in the following parameters:

• Very high PPF output for high intensity 295 μmol/s.
• Very high efficacy up to 2.9 μmol/J offers unmatched value for the price on the market. The efficacy of this fixture will vary depending on the input voltage used.

These values are significantly influenced by the following factors:

• Latest generation LED chips from top bins (Osram, lumileds). These premium chips not only produce a balanced light spectrum, but are also fully dimmable with 1% increments of light intensity without loss of efficacy for different cultivars or growth stages.
• Another advantage of these supplementary luminaires is excellent passive cooling that reduces the temperature of the LED chips.

• New Clear Glue cover technology on the LED bar. IP65 rating this results in:
  • 99% higher light transmission
  • Prevention of light loss
  • Extended LED lifetime
  • Extra corrosion resistance
  • Waterproof
  • Resistance to dust

This individual supplementary LED bar therefore represents an exceptionally powerful standalone unit for growth and bloom and provides the same full-spectrum light output that perfectly mimics natural sunlight as any bar from the latest ZEUS 2.9 series, but with the difference that it is a completely independent device with its own 100W remote driver included. By driver we mean the ballast for LED panels and bars. You can also read a separate article comparing the ZEUS 2.9 series with the original ZEUS Comparison of TOP LED lights...

External control and compatibility with universal control systems

Lumatek LED Full-Spectrum 100W BAR 2.9 can be conveniently controlled externally only via universal 0–10 V controllers or via the compatible controller DIGITAL PANEL PLUS 2.0, which you may already be using to control the new lights of the ZEUS or ATTIS, and which allows control of up to hundreds of devices:

• Light scheduling
• Automatic dimming
• Temperature safety monitoring
• Memory backup
• Popular modes SUNRISE and SUNSET

The British manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty on these fixtures. Exceptional energy-efficient, economical operation is a given. Simply put, as we are used to with Lumatek, high performance with low consumption and long service life.
