Under canopy LED for lower-bud penetration
The Gavita UCL 150W sits below the canopy and pushes 450 µmol/s into the lower bud sites overhead fixtures shadow out. It runs a broad white spectrum enriched with blue at 3.0 µmol/J efficacy. Gavita reports flower gains over 40% paired with a tuned overhead light. A 155-degree dual-sided beam spreads photons across the inner-stalk region of a bench row. A PC lens with over 92% optical transmission keeps loss low between diodes and canopy.
Commercial under canopy LED with controller integration
An IP66 rating handles the runoff and humidity that concentrate near the floor. Growers mount the bars 6 to 12 inches under the canopy and tilt them slightly toward the inner stalks. Up to 17 fixtures daisy-chain at 277V, and AC, DIM, and RJ connectors tie into EC2820 and TrolMaster controllers for room-wide dimming to 10%. Rated for 50,000 hours with a 5-year warranty, it ships with telescoping mounts. One note: it is a 120-277V supplemental bar meant to pair with an overhead light, not replace it.
