ENERGY DISTRIBUTION
PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) is a region of the electromagnetic spectrum (400 to 700 nm) that
promotes photosynthesis.
PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux) tells us how much PAR a light-source emits. PPF does not measure PAR at a
specific location (such as your crop canopy), but it tells you how many photons within the PAR region are coming
out of the light source every second.
PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) measures the number of photons within the PAR region at a specific
location (such as your crop canopy) every second. Most PAR meters report PPFD (μmol/m2/s) measurements.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Always adhere to the local building and electrical codes
when installing or using the fixture.
• HIGH VOLTAGE- Switch off the main voltage before
commencing installation or maintenance work.
• Do not open or disassemble the fixture, it contains no
serviceable parts inside. Opening the fixture can be
dangerous and will void the warranty.
• Never look directly into the light source while fixture is
turned on. Doing so can cause damage to the eyes.
• The end user is responsible for ensuring correct installation
and use of the product. Incorrect installation can cause
damage to the product. The warranty shall become void if
the product and/or electronic components are damaged
due to incorrect installation.
• The performance of the fixture may be compromised
if operated outside of the recommended ambient
temperature guidelines.

a. 120 degrees is the ideal optic for indoor and vertical applications. The fixtures can be mounted between 12” (for vegetables) and
36” (for taller flowering plants) over the canopy.
b. 70 degrees - This will be ideal for greenhouses and indoor applications where the fixtures need to be mounted much higher and
further away from the canopy.
