Todogrowled Evolution Range: The Next Generation of Horticultural LED Lighting

The Todogrowled Evolution Range represents the pinnacle of LED technology for indoor cultivation. These horticultural panels combine an optimized light spectrum with remarkable energy efficiency, offering growers professional lighting that rivals the best installations on the market. Developed specifically to maximize photosynthesis, this range is a benchmark for anyone seeking consistent results and impeccable harvest quality.

Why choose the Todogrowled Evolution range?

The luminous efficacy of the Evolution range reaches impressive levels with over 2.8 µmol/J, placing these LEDs at the top of current horticultural lighting. The full-spectrum integrates Samsung LM301B diodes and 660nm red LEDs to perfectly cover plant needs from germination to flowering. Unlike older generations of LEDs, these panels generate very little heat thanks to their oversized aluminum heatsink, allowing them to be placed closer to plants without the risk of heat stress.

The robust construction with a Meanwell driver guarantees a lifespan of over 50,000 hours, which is approximately 15 years of intensive use. This is frankly robust compared to HPS ballasts which often fail after 3-4 years. The absence of a fan eliminates noise pollution and the risk of mechanical failure, a significant advantage for discreet installations.

How to choose your Evolution LED

The choice of power depends directly on your growing area. For a 60x60 cm space, an Evolution 240W is more than sufficient, while an 80x80 cm requires at least a 400W to obtain a correct light density of approximately 600-800 PPFD. The 600W and higher models are reserved for spaces 100x100 cm and larger, where they can express their full potential.

Installation height varies according to the growth phase: 60-80 cm for seedlings and cuttings, 40-50 cm during vegetative growth, and 30-40 cm during flowering to maximize light penetration. These distances may seem significant, but they allow for homogeneous distribution across the entire canopy without creating hot spots.

Also check compatibility with your electrical installation. The most powerful models require 220V and can draw up to 3A, so a dedicated circuit must be planned to avoid overloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lamp from the Todogrowled Evolution range should I choose for an 80x80 cm grow?

For an 80x80 cm space, the Evolution 400W is the standard choice that will give you an average of about 625 PPFD over the surface. If you are aiming for maximum yields or growing light-hungry varieties, the Evolution 600W can be interesting but will require stricter temperature and humidity control. The 400W remains the sweet spot for most growers, offering a good balance between performance and power consumption. Allow approximately 0.65W per cm² for optimal coverage.

How do I install an Evolution on my existing reflector?

Evolution LEDs mount directly to the ceiling or on a rail without needing a reflector, unlike HPS. If you already have a reflector installed, you can remove it completely because the LEDs integrate their own diffusion optics. Mounting is done via the supplied supports with adjustable straps or rigid fixation depending on your configuration. Make sure you have at least 15 cm of clearance above the LED for air circulation, even if it heats up little. The absence of a reflector greatly simplifies installation and improves ventilation of the space.

What is the difference between the Evolution 400W and 600W in terms of yield?

The Evolution 600W produces approximately 50% more photons than the 400W, but this difference does not necessarily translate into 50% more yield. Beyond 800-900 PPFD, plants often reach their light saturation point and the gain becomes marginal without additional CO2. The 600W excels in larger spaces (100x100 cm minimum) or for techniques like SCROG where deep light penetration is necessary. For a standard 80x80 cm, the 400W generally offers a better performance/consumption ratio. The actual yield difference is more around 15-20% under optimal conditions.

How do I clean and maintain the LEDs in the Evolution range?

Maintenance of the Evolution is mainly limited to dusting the diodes and heatsink every 2-3 months. Use a dry brush or a slightly damp microfiber cloth, never chemical products that could damage the lenses. Regularly check that the connections remain tight and that the driver shows no signs of overheating. Unlike HPS, there are no bulbs to change or reflectors to clean. LEDs maintain their efficiency for years with minimal maintenance, which is one of their big advantages over traditional technologies.

What height should I maintain between the Evolution lamp and the plants during flowering?

During flowering, keep the Evolution between 30 and 40 cm from the top of the plants to maximize light intensity without creating stress. Start at 40 cm then gradually move closer, monitoring for signs of photobleaching (leaves yellowing at the top). With a 400W, 35 cm is often the optimal distance, while a 600W may require 40-45 cm depending on the sensitivity of your varieties. Use a lux meter if possible to aim for 600-800 PPFD at canopy level. This proximity allows sufficient light penetration to develop the lower buds, unlike HPS which must be kept higher due to heat.

How to choose a Todogrowled Evolution Range LED grow light?

To choose your Todogrowled Evolution Range light, I advise you to first define the surface area of your grow space. Then, consider the type of plants you are growing and their specific light requirements. Each model in the Evolution Range is designed to offer optimal performance in different configurations, so I recommend carefully checking the coverage specifications for both growth and flowering.

What is the difference between the models in the Todogrowled Evolution Range?

The differences between the models in the Evolution Range primarily lie in their luminous power (PPFD), their coverage area, and sometimes their slightly adjusted light spectrum for specific phases. Some models will be more suitable for small areas, while others will cover larger spaces with higher intensity. I invite you to consult the detailed product sheets for each model to compare their performance.

What is the purpose of the Todogrowled Evolution Range light spectrum?

The light spectrum of the Todogrowled Evolution Range is optimized to maximize your plants' photosynthesis. In practice, this means we have selected specific wavelengths (blue, red, green, white, and sometimes far-red) that are most effective for vegetative growth and flowering. This full spectrum ensures healthy development and abundant production, providing the plant with exactly what it needs at each stage of its cycle.

What power should I choose for the Todogrowled Evolution Range?

The power to choose depends directly on the size of your grow space and the requirements of your plants. For a small 60x60 cm tent, moderate power will suffice, while for a square meter or more, I recommend opting for more powerful models to ensure homogeneous coverage and sufficient PPFD. Don't forget that energy efficiency is also a key factor, and the Evolution Range excels in this area.

How to install a Todogrowled Evolution Range light?

Installing a Todogrowled Evolution Range light is generally simple. I advise you to hang your panel using the provided cables and hooks, ensuring it is stable and level. The installation height is crucial and varies depending on the growth phase of your plants and the power of your light. I always recommend referring to the specific user manual for your model for optimal distances. Also, ensure that the ventilation in your grow space is adequate.

Is the Todogrowled Evolution Range suitable for autoflowering plants?

Absolutely! The Todogrowled Evolution Range is perfectly suited for autoflowering plants. Thanks to its full and optimized spectrum, it provides the necessary light intensity throughout the life cycle of these plants, from germination to flowering. What I often see is that autoflower growers particularly appreciate the consistency and efficiency of our LEDs, which allow for excellent yields without having to adjust the light cycle.

What is the ideal hanging distance for the Todogrowled Evolution Range?

The ideal hanging distance with the Todogrowled Evolution Range depends on the power of your model and the life stage of your plants.
