Your questions about this product

• What is the luminous power in lumens of the SpectraBULB X55 bulb with 3500K spectrum and Samsung LM301B LEDs for an optimal coverage area of 60cm by 60cm?
  The SpectraBULB X55, with its 55W Samsung LM301B LEDs at 3500K, delivers a luminous power of approximately 11,000 lumens. It optimally covers an area of 60 x 60 cm. It is an excellent choice for a small area requiring powerful and balanced lighting.
• How to optimize the use of the SpectraBULB X55 for differentiated management of growth and flowering indoors?
  To optimize the use of the SpectraBULB X55 indoors and effectively manage growth and flowering, place it over an area of about 60x60 cm. Its 3500K spectrum combined with Samsung LM301B LEDs is perfect to support all development phases. Use it with a strengthened reflector for better light diffusion and maintain good ventilation to ensure an ideal environment without heat stress. Its plug & play operation simplifies integration, no complex adjustments needed!
• Is the SpectraBULB X55 with its E40 socket compatible with a standard transformer for beginner indoor use?

  The SpectraBULB X55 is designed for Plug & Play use with its E40 socket, meaning it connects directly to the electrical network without requiring a specific transformer or ballast. It is therefore perfectly suited for indoor installation for beginners, without additional complexity.

• What is the concrete advantage of using the E40 socket on the Spectra Bulb X55 instead of a standard socket for a hydroponic system of 60cm by 60cm?
  The E40 socket is perfectly suited for the SpectraBULB X55 as it provides a robust and stable mounting, essential for a wider and more powerful horticultural bulb. It allows full utilization of the power and light spectrum of 55W, ideally covering a hydroponic area of 60x60 cm.
  
  Unlike a smaller standard socket (like E27), the E40 ensures better heat dissipation thanks to the built-in heat sink, extending the lifespan of the bulb, and simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a ballast. This choice guarantees homogeneous, high-performance, and durable lighting for your crops.
• What is the optimal installation height for the SpectraBULB X55 to achieve uniform coverage of 60cm by 60cm without risking plant burn during the flowering phase?
  To achieve a uniform coverage of approximately 60 cm x 60 cm with the SpectraBULB X55 during the flowering phase, it is recommended to install it at a height between 40 and 60 cm above the plants. This distance ensures excellent light distribution while minimizing the risk of burning.
  
  It is important to monitor the temperature under the lamp: it should not exceed approximately 28 °C. If it gets too hot, slightly adjust the height upward to protect your plants without losing lighting uniformity.
• What is the optimal distance between the SpectraBULB X55 and the plants to avoid light stress while maximizing growth in hydroponics?

  The optimal distance between the SpectraBULB X55 and your hydroponic plants is about 50 cm. This distance ensures intense and uniform light, ideal for stimulating growth while avoiding light stress.

  A distance that is too close, such as 30 cm, may be considered in some cases, but 50 cm remains the best practice for maximizing the healthy development of your plants under this light.

• How long on average does the charcoal filter last in this model to effectively limit odors without disrupting air circulation?

  The SpectraBULB X55 model is a powerful 55W horticultural LED bulb with an E40 base, but it does not directly incorporate a charcoal filter. In horticulture, charcoal filters are typically added to ventilation systems to neutralize odors without compromising air circulation.

  The lifespan of a charcoal filter mainly depends on its quality, usage, and environmental conditions, but on average, a well-maintained filter lasts between 6 to 12 months. After this period, its effectiveness at retaining odors decreases. For optimal performance, it is important to regularly check the condition of the filter and replace it as soon as its effectiveness drops.

  If you are looking for a complete system to manage odors with good air circulation, you might consider a suitable charcoal filter paired with a powerful extractor, thus ensuring a clean and healthy cultivation.

• What is the average lifespan of the SpectraBULB X55 and how does its luminous efficiency evolve over time?
  The SpectraBULB X55 offers an average lifespan of about 50,000 hours, which is excellent for a horticultural LED bulb. Its luminous efficiency remains stable over several years thanks to the quality of its LEDs, although a slight gradual decrease in brightness may occur over time. With a luminous power of about 11,000 lumens, it guarantees a good yield for a growing area of 60x60 cm. To optimize its performance and longevity, make sure to ventilate your space well and use an appropriate reflector for optimal light distribution.
• Is SpectraBULB X55 55W E40 suitable for a micro grow of 60x60 cm during growth and flowering without the need for other light sources?

  The SpectraBULB X55 55W E40 is perfectly suited for a micro grow of 60x60 cm, fully covering this area during growth and flowering phases. Thanks to its Samsung LM301B LEDs and 11,000 lumens, it provides a balanced light spectrum and sufficient intensity to effectively stimulate your plants.

  In addition, its installation is very simple: it plugs directly into an E40 socket, without the need for a ballast or additional equipment. Ideally placed about 50 cm above the tops of the plants, it ensures optimal lighting without the risk of light stress.

  In summary, this bulb can be used alone, without the need for other light sources, for a micro grow of 60x60 cm indoors with excellent results.

• What is the actual lighting power of the SpectraBULB X55 for a cultivation space of 60x60 cm in flowering phase?

  The SpectraBULB X55 is a 55W horticultural LED bulb with a 3500K spectrum, specifically designed to cover a cultivation space of 60x60 cm well during the flowering phase. It uses Samsung LM301B LEDs, known for their efficiency, ensuring suitable light intensity for this area. However, precise data in terms of luminous flux or PAR are not provided, which prevents giving an exact numerical value of the actual lighting power.

  In practice, this bulb offers a good balance between power and light distribution to stimulate healthy and abundant flowering in 60x60 cm.
