Sanlight Grow Lighting – Uncompromising Austrian Quality for Your Grow Room

Austrian brand Sanlight ranks among the top in LED lighting for indoor plant cultivation, thanks to its modular systems that combine innovation, sustainability and precise workmanship. In this article we present two series, EVO and FLEX, which are ideal for both professional growers and hobby enthusiasts. In addition to introducing the technologies, we also offer practical tips on how to use these systems effectively for maximum plant growth and optimization of the growing area.

Sanlight is an innovative Austrian company based in Vorarlberg that specializes in the development and production of highly efficient LED lighting for commercial and hobby cultivation of plants. What sets the Austrian manufacturer well above the competition is its emphasis on in-house research and regional as well as technological sustainability. All equipment is developed, manufactured and assembled in Austria. Sanlight also collaborates with prestigious universities and research institutions, including state-of-the-art cultivation facilities in the Czech Republic.

Sanlight EVO

EVO Series is Sanlight’s flagship and models from this range always incorporate the latest LED technology. From a construction perspective the EVO line immediately stands out from LED modules of other brands. The radiator-like chassis made of heavy metal gives Sanlight lights a distinctive look, but there are practical reasons for it. The thin metal fins increase the surface area through which excess heat emitted by the LEDs can escape. This simple and effective passive cooling system allows omitting the often failure-prone fans seen in other brands.

Another notable feature of the EVO series is that individual modules can be easily linked in series and illuminate plants from several sources at once. This lets you flexibly adjust the number of fixtures to the size of the growing area. As visible in the picture, the suspension is adapted for series connection, allowing you to hang the fixtures at a slight angle so that light reaches the plants from the side. The result is more even illumination, more space for plants and consequently higher yields. Dimming options are also available, either via a magnetic dimmer or Bluetooth dimmer.

The emphasis on high quality is reflected in the technical parameters of the EVO series. All models are equipped with secondary optics that increase the intensity of emitted light (PPFD). The silicone lens also protects the LEDs from contamination and significantly extends the lifetime of the fixtures. Of course, the efficiency exceeds 3 µmol/J, which places the EVO lights among the most powerful LEDs on the market. Last but not least, we must mention the adjusted light spectrum, which offers a higher ratio of far-red and red light, positively influencing plant development and the production of secondary metabolites in some plants.

Sanlight FLEX

FLEX Series is Sanlight’s answer to the growing demand for LED fixtures adapted for rooting seedlings and cuttings, production of leafy greens, growing ornamental plants or microgreens. These efficient modules emit a light spectrum that supports root formation and vegetative growth. An advantage of the growth spectrum is that, thanks to its pleasant color, the light is not intrusive, so FLEX fixtures can also be used in living spaces. Like the EVO modules, the FLEX series features passive cooling. Another benefit of the FLEX line is the IP68 waterproof rating, allowing you to hang fixtures directly among lower tiers of plants where the light would otherwise not reach. This way you can cheaply and simply increase both quantity and quality of the yield.

Sanlight FLEX fixtures are suitable for multi-layer cultivation, where it is necessary to maintain a short distance between the plants and the light source. These growing systems are used, for example, for leafy greens, herbs or microgreens. Naturally, they feature a robust construction, easy installation and the possibility to connect in series. Connected modules can also be controlled together using a common LED controller.

New: SANlight Stixx 50W

is ideal for efficiently illuminating approximately 3 small plants on a small area of about 40x40 cm to 60x60 cm. Thanks to the integrated dimming function, the light intensity can be set in steps of 10 %, 20 %, 40 %, 60 %, 80 % and 100 %, allowing you to optimize light intensity according to your plants' needs. It combines all the advantages of the Q1W DIM model but offers significantly higher efficiency and IP68 certification, making it an excellent choice for small growing projects. Thanks to its flexibility and performance, it is an ideal solution for targeted cultivation of plants in a limited space. Cable length from the light to the controller: approximately 2 meters.
