Lumatek ATS Range: The New Generation of Horticultural LED Lighting

The Lumatek ATS Range revolutionizes horticultural lighting with its Samsung LM301H LED technology and optimized full spectrum. These ultra-performing LED panels offer a photosynthetic efficiency of 2.9 µmol/J, far surpassing older HPS technologies while consuming 50% less energy. Designed to maximize yields in indoor cultivation, the ATS range perfectly adapts to spaces from 60x60cm to 120x120cm.

Why choose the Lumatek ATS range for your indoor grow

The Samsung LM301H technology integrated into ATS panels produces a light spectrum of 3000K + 660nm deep red, perfectly suited for all growth phases. With a uniform PPFD of 1000 µmol/m²/s at 30cm, these lights ensure optimal light penetration even at the bottom of the canopy. The passive cooling system with aluminum heatsinks maintains a stable operating temperature around 40°C, eliminating hot spots that can stress your plants.

The energy efficiency of 2.9 µmol/J represents a considerable gain compared to 600W HPS which peak at 1.7 µmol/J. Concretely, an ATS 300W advantageously replaces a 600W HPS while cutting your electricity bill in half. The full spectrum also eliminates the need to change bulbs between growth and flowering.

How to choose your Lumatek ATS lighting

The choice mainly depends on the surface area of your grow space. For a 60x60cm grow tent, the ATS 200W delivers 600-800 PPFD, perfect for productive cultivation. The ATS 300W ideally covers 80x80cm with 900-1100 PPFD, while the ATS Pro 300W with its external driver is suitable for more demanding installations requiring precise temperature control.

Installation height varies by phase: 60-80cm for germination, 40-50cm for vegetative growth, and 30-40cm for flowering. All ATS models include a 0-100% dimmer to adjust intensity according to your plants' specific needs. A power factor greater than 0.95 guarantees optimized power consumption.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the ATS 200W and ATS 300W for my 80x80cm grow tent?

For an 80x80cm grow tent, the ATS 300W is more suitable as it delivers 900-1100 PPFD compared to 600-700 PPFD for the ATS 200W over this area. The ATS 200W will be suitable for less intensive cultivation or as a supplement to natural light, while the ATS 300W maximizes yield potential. The 100W consumption difference translates to approximately €15/month in additional electricity, largely offset by the increase in production. The ATS 300W also offers better light uniformity at the edges of the canopy.

At what height and intensity should I set my Lumatek ATS for the vegetative phase?

In the vegetative phase, position your ATS 40-50cm from the canopy with an intensity of 60-80% to achieve 400-600 PPFD. This configuration stimulates vigorous growth without light stress. Start at 70cm and 40% for young plants, then gradually move closer while increasing intensity. A lux meter or PPFD sensor helps you maintain optimal values. Monitor internodes: if they remain short (2-3cm), it's perfect; if they lengthen, move the light closer.

How to easily install the Lumatek ATS Pro in an indoor grow tent?

The ATS Pro attaches via the adjustable straps provided on the horizontal bars of your tent. The external driver is positioned outside the tent to reduce internal heat, connected by a 2m cable. Use the ratchet hangers to easily adjust the height according to plant growth. Be sure to leave 15cm of space above the panel for air circulation. The driver can be wall-mounted or placed on the floor; its IP65 waterproof design protects it from ambient humidity.

Does the Lumatek ATS Range generate a lot of heat, and do I need additional cooling?

ATS panels generate approximately 30% heat compared to 70% for HPS, meaning 90W thermal for an ATS 300W versus 420W for a 600W HPS. Passive cooling by aluminum heatsinks maintains the panel temperature around 40°C. In a well-ventilated grow tent (extractor 200-300m3/h), no additional cooling is necessary. In summer or confined spaces, a more powerful extractor or an oscillating fan is usually sufficient. This low heat production allows you to grow closer to plants without the risk of burns.

What is the lifespan of the Lumatek ATS and how to maintain it for long-lasting performance?

The lifespan of Samsung LM301H LEDs reaches 50,000 hours, which is approximately 6-7 years of operation at 12h/day. After this period, light intensity decreases by only 10%. To maximize longevity, monthly clean the heatsinks with a dry brush to prevent dust accumulation, which reduces cooling efficiency. Avoid thermal shocks by allowing it to cool before handling. The external driver of Pro models facilitates maintenance and can be replaced independently if necessary. Using a dimmer also extends the lifespan of components.
