Sanlight Series EVO: The next-generation LED lighting for your crops

The Sanlight Series EVO range represents the pinnacle of horticultural LED lighting. These Austrian luminaires combine exceptional light efficiency with a robust, durable design. With their optimized spectrum and patented secondary optics, EVO lights literally transform your growing sessions.

Why choose Sanlight Series EVO lighting

Sanlight EVO lights stand out for their remarkable energy efficiency, exceeding 2.9 µmol/J. Unlike older generations of LEDs, these luminaires integrate secondary optics that perfectly concentrate light where your plants need it. The full-spectrum covers all growth phases, from germination to flowering.The modular design of the EVO allows for custom installations. Whether you're growing in a 60x60 cm tent or a space of several square meters, you can adapt the power exactly to your needs. Integrated connectors simplify wiring between multiple units.The passive cooling system maintains a stable operating temperature even after hours of intensive use. No noisy fans that break down – just machined aluminum that naturally dissipates heat.

How to choose your Sanlight Series EVO

The choice primarily depends on the area to be illuminated and the available height. For a 60x60 cm tent, the EVO 3-60 is more than sufficient with its 190W. 120x120 cm spaces require either an EVO 4-120 (315W) or two EVO 3-60 for better distribution.Suspension distance plays a crucial role. EVO lights can operate as close as 20 cm from plants due to their low heat emission, but 30-40 cm remains optimal for homogeneous coverage. The higher you go, the wider the illuminated area.Also consider the scalability of your setup. EVO lights easily connect to each other via the supplied link cables. Starting with one luminaire and adding modules later is a smart strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which EVO to choose for a 120x120 cm tent, an EVO 4 or two EVO 3?

For a 120x120 tent, two EVO 3-60s generally offer better light distribution than a single EVO 4-120. With two point sources, you eliminate shaded areas and achieve more homogeneous coverage. The EVO 4-120 is better suited if you lack height or prefer a simplified installation with a single suspension point. In terms of consumption, both solutions are equivalent at around 380W.

What is the minimum distance required between EVO Series and plants?

The minimum recommended distance is 20 cm to avoid light stress, but 30-40 cm remains optimal for most crops. At this distance, you maximize the illuminated surface while maintaining sufficient intensity. Young plants do not tolerate less than 25 cm well, while flowering plants can tolerate 20 cm if you monitor for signs of burning. Always use a lux meter to check the received intensity.

How to connect multiple EVO Series luminaires together with cables and connectors?

Each EVO has integrated male and female connectors that allow chaining up to 15 units on a single power supply. Use the supplied link cables to connect the output of the first luminaire to the input of the next. The first EVO in the chain connects to the mains, the others are powered in series. Respect the maximum power of 1000W per circuit to avoid overload.

How to adjust the intensity of EVO Series with the supplied M-Dimmers?

Sanlight M-Dimmers connect between the power supply and the luminaire via a simple cable. The potentiometer allows varying the intensity from 0 to 100% progressively. For multiple EVO lights, a single M-Dimmer controls the entire connected chain. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease. The adjustment is immediate and allows adapting the lighting according to the growth phases.

How to clean the secondary optics of the EVO to maintain performance?

Clean the optics with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, never aggressive chemicals. Secondary optics accumulate dust and residues that reduce light efficiency by 10-15% after a few months. Monthly cleaning is sufficient in a clean environment, weekly if the air is dusty. Avoid circular movements that scratch; prefer linear strokes. Let dry completely before turning the luminaire back on.
