    VIPARSPECTRA and Growing Under LED – Definitely a Good Idea!

    After a week, there is once again an opportunity to take a closer look at our shop’s range. Today we will focus on the popular LED lighting from the American brand Viparspectra. Technically advanced, lightweight and at the same time affordably priced LED luminaires have risen to the top of bestseller lists at many retailers around the world in recent years. Among other things, the manufacturer works closely with brands such as SAMSUNG and MEAN WELL. It invests heavily in its own research with the aim of using technological progress to improve the growing experience for herbs, fruit or vegetables in the comfort of home for as many customers as possible. Read on to find out how it has managed to win over more than 20 million growers from around the world at various levels over the past ten years!

    Viparspectra is also a hit here. Proof of this is the best-selling LED luminaire in the form of the ViparSpectra PRO Series P600 model, which we will come back to later. First, however, let us briefly summarise what specifically connects the individual models and product ranges of Viparspectra LED lighting:

    • The defect rate for LED lighting by ViparSpectra does not even reach one tenth of one per cent, which is truly an impressive result given the genuinely massive production capacity. Incidentally, we can also mention that Viparspectra’s fully automated production plants, which have recently undergone costly modernisation, cover an area of approximately three football pitches.
    • Viparspectra has its own research and development team, and it must be said that it is made up entirely of top experts. Thanks to a team of 180 experts, the American manufacturer has full control over the development of each high-tech grow lamp. This is driven by considerable ambition to gradually outpace all competition. The products therefore undergo extensive testing, which is also reflected in the significant certifications (EC, UL). We can therefore also add the long service life of these LED luminaires to their exceptional reliability. Compared with discharge lamps, it is around 5 times longer!
    • A waterproof board and a perfectly designed 
    • The third point relates to the general advantages of LED lighting, which include:
      • Full light spectrum, thanks to which you can make do with a single source of artificial lighting throughout the entire growing cycle, when plants receive light usable in the relevant life stage for rapid growth and comprehensive development. This means a light spectrum from infrared (730 nm) to almost ultraviolet (all wavelengths).
      • Low thermal emission. Because modern LED lighting, which certainly includes Viparspectra grow lamps, emits only a minimal amount of heat into its surroundings, even smaller grow boxes do not experience excessively high temperatures that could slow the healthy development of your plants.
      • The light source emitted by powerful LED diodes can also be placed closer to plants and make maximum use of the growing space available to you. 
      • LED lamps by ViparSpectra do not only save space inside the grow tent or grow room, but are also defined by low electricity consumption and high efficiency. These features are further proof that the purchase cost of quality LED lighting will soon pay for itself. For every watt of input power, an LED lamp produces approximately 10 times more light than a light bulb, about 3 times more than a discharge lamp, and even roughly half again as much as a fluorescent tube.
      • It is worth bearing in mind that when growing under a discharge lamp, you also absolutely need a ballast and a shade (reflector). By purchasing a compact full-spectrum LED lamp, these costs fall away, regardless of the price at which we offer reliable and efficient ViparSpectra LED luminaires. That is why they are also a common choice for beginner growers, who would otherwise initially look for the cheapest, sufficient solution for a start and only later seek a more sophisticated light source. With ViparSpectra, even a beginner does not have to make compromises and can immediately give their plants full-spectrum lighting with even light distribution and stable PAR values, simulating natural sunlight for plants (Sun-like technology). 

    Our TIP: Thanks to their unquestionable quality, innovative LED lamps with a favourable price tag have also become part of our discounted 200W and 100W LED growing sets.

    • ViparSpectra plant lighting also offers the option of adjusting the lighting period (see photoperiod) according to the cultivated plant species. In practice, this allows growers to increase yields by up to half! The image shows a detail of the flexible dimming knob for controlling diode dimming on a luminaire from the XS range (see below). But do you know what is best about it? The built-in dimmer with light intensity regulation in the range of 15% - 100% is available not only on the more expensive and more powerful models, but also on the best-selling one - ViparSpectra PRO Series P600. And now look at its price tag. Especially at the beginning, compared with conventional luminaires, there is nothing to think about, is there?

    VIPARSPECTRA grow lights

    We can now move on to a detailed overview of the options that ViparSpectra offers growers within indoor plant cultivation. Both product ranges clearly demonstrate that, despite the long list of benefits, the initial investment in ViparSpectra LED lighting is by no means high.

    PRO range (Pro Series)

    The grow lights listed above are the most affordable in the VIPARSPECTRA range. That makes what you get for your money all the more impressive:

    • More power per watt, as already mentioned, means saving more than just a few pounds. The best-selling LED light P600, as well as the even more powerful variants, generates more light at lower energy use, which the plant can actually use for its development during the individual life stages from germination through growth and flowering to the ripening of juicy fruits. A high standard of efficiency is ensured by 4 types of top-quality Samsung LED diodes.

    • The entire PRO product range also features a powerful Sosen driver and a well-designed cooling system.

    • The LED luminaires in the Pro range can boast a waterproof board, which easily copes with increased humidity inside the growing space, and therefore these luminaires are fully compatible with any indoor growing environment. The waterproof design naturally increases the overall service life of the luminaire again.

    XS range (XS Series)

    The higher XS range is a step ahead of the previous PRO range. It has 5% higher output and at the same time brings 5% savings on electricity.  However, many great features remain, from perfectly quiet operation through perfectly designed passive cooling to the waterproof board. So what does XS offer in addition to the PRO range?

    • Even better and newer diodes. The Pro range uses LM281B+ diodes, but the XS range uses even more advanced LM301B grow LEDs with high energy efficiency and the potential to increase your yields by up to 50%!
    • Another difference is the presence of a high-tech MEAN WELL driver, which gives more demanding growers yet another step up in lighting energy efficiency and lower electricity use. With long-term use of the luminaire and continuous, intensive operation, it becomes a guarantee of stable performance. It also contributes to the long service life, which for luminaires in the XS range exceeds 100,000 hours of lighting.
