LED Grow Lights Viparspectra

What LED grow lighting is and who it is for

LED lights now form the backbone of most home and commercial grow rooms. Compared with discharge lamps (HPS/CMH), they deliver more usable light per watt, heat the tent less, and offer a full spectrum suitable from propagation through growth to flowering. They are suitable for every tent and grow box – from a small propagator to a full grow room.

How to choose output by area

The decisive factor is not wattage, but how much light falls evenly across your area. As a guide:

• 60 × 60 cm – a quality panel around 100–150 W
• 80 × 80 cm – roughly 240–320 W
• 100 × 100 to 120 × 120 cm – a setup of 480–720 W

Look at efficiency (µmol/J) and light uniformity across the whole area; exact PPF values and the recommended hanging height are listed for each specific light.

Main light or supplementary lighting

Most growers choose a main light for the whole crop. Increasingly, this is supplemented with under-canopy lighting – under-canopy panels light the leaves that the main light does not reach, and the far-red spectrum supports flower set and ripening.

Which LED brands you will find with us

• Maxibright – the most in-demand LED in our range. The Varidrive series offers a dimmable controller and a reliable balance of performance and price.
• SANlight and Lumatek – premium top-tier brands (SANlight EVO and STIXX, Lumatek ZEUS and ATTIS) focused on maximum efficiency and service life for demanding and commercial grow rooms.
• AC Infinity – a fast-growing brand with smart control; it matches perfectly with their tents and ventilation.
• SunPro – full-spectrum LED with an excellent price-to-performance ratio; the MAMASUN and HITTER 720W models reach an efficiency of 2.6 µmol/J.
• FAVEN – premium under-canopy and far-red (Chroma range) with adjustable spectrum and a separate far-red channel.
• TLED – energy-saving tubular LED for supplementary lighting of propagators, seedlings and cuttings.

We are continually expanding the range – Vivosun is also being added, and you can currently find it under grow tents.

Control and dimming

It is worth controlling powerful LED externally – via control units and timers you can set the lighting period, smooth dimming and temperature-based automation, and synchronise several lights at once.

Frequently asked questions

How many watts of LED do I need for a tent?

By area: 100–150 W is enough for 60 × 60 cm, for 80 × 80 cm count on 240–320 W, and a full 120 × 120 cm needs 480–720 W. Efficiency and coverage always matter, not just wattage.

Is LED better than a discharge lamp?

LED has higher efficiency, less heat and a full spectrum without replacing lamps. Discharge lamps remain cheaper to buy; you will find a detailed comparison in the articles below.

How high should the light be hung?

It depends on the output and the stage – manufacturers state the recommended height for each model. Too close risks scorching, too high means losing intensity.

What are under-canopy and far-red?

Under-canopy are panels for the lower layer of the crop; the far-red spectrum speeds up the transition to flowering and supports ripening. Both are an addition to the main light, not a replacement.
