You probably know the ZEUS 600 Watts from LUMATEK, here are its little brothers, the ZEUS Compact 465 Watts and the ZEUS Compact 465 Watts PRO.
Lumatek manufacturer of horticultural LED panels 465 Watts
The manufacturer Lumatek offers us a 465 watt LED horticultural panel . This horticultural lighting has a complete and homogeneous spectrum which brings excellent results.
The Pro and normal version are equipped with the same parameters, and have the same power. The consumption of your grow room will therefore be identical if you choose one of the two systems. The 465 Watts Compact range has a lifespan of 60,000 hours and is guaranteed by the manufacturer for 5 years . For a consumption of 465 watts, it will take about 23 euros per month. This figure may vary depending on your lighting periods, off-peak or peak hours, as well as for the cultivation, growth or flowering stage.
What is the difference between these two new members of the ZEUS family?
In a LED lighting system dedicated to plants , we speak of micromole (μmol). This unit of measurement will allow us to know the performance of our lamp on the plants. This may vary depending on the power supply chosen or the LEDs that make up the product. We will then talk about luminous efficiency. It is calculated in relation to the consumption of the product. The ZEUS 465 Compact PRO has better light output than the ZEUS 465 Compact.
- The ZEUS 465 W Compact PRO system generates 1256 µmol/s
- The ZEUS 465 W Compact system generates 1070 µmol/s
The calculation is quite simple to perform. We divide the horticultural performance by the number of µmol/s that this panel generates.
- ZEUS 465 W Compact PRO : 1256/465 = 2.70 µmol/J
- ZEUS 465 W : 1070 / 465 = 2.30 2.70 µmol/J
Technical aspects of the two LED lamps
In order to optimize the growth and flowering phases , the brand has equipped them with the best OSRAM LEDs and Philips Lumileds on the market . These lamps use LEDs with a lighting angle of 120° . This will allow you to bring the panel closer to your plants.
Lamp cultivation area 465
The maximum lighting area for this ZEUS range is 120cm x 120cm . The product itself measures approximately 100cm x 100cm, so you will need a culture room of at least 1m².
Thanks to their water resistance with the IP 65 standard , you can grow in a humid environment without risk.
The lights can be automatically controlled externally using the “Lumatek Digital Panel”, sold separately.
The fact of being 100% dimmable makes it possible to vary the intensity of the light according to the different phases of evolution of the plants, to control 100% the light, the temperature, to simulate a sunrise and a sunset...
