Full Spectrum Quantum PAR Sensor for Grow Lighting
The Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor (MBS-PAR) provides accurate, cost-effective measurement of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and PPFD from 389–692 nm ± 5 nm, giving growers true insight into how much usable light their plants receive. Its improved full-spectrum response is optimized for modern LED fixtures as well as HPS, MH, CMH, and sunlight, making it a reliable PAR meter for mixed-light and indoor gardens. Designed for onsite reading and plug & play operation, it integrates seamlessly into professional grow rooms, greenhouses, and controlled environment setups.
PPFD Sensor Integration with Hydro-X Controllers
When paired with a Hydro-X controller, this PPFD sensor becomes an active part of your lighting strategy—automatically increasing or decreasing supplemental lighting output to maintain the exact PPFD setpoint you choose at canopy level. This closed-loop control helps stabilize daily light integral (DLI), reduce energy waste, and protect plants from light stress. Built to operate in demanding grow environments (32–122 °F, up to 90% humidity), the sensor package includes a 1/2" post clamp, RJ12 cable, T-splitter, and end caps for straightforward installation. With precise PAR data feeding your Hydro-X lighting controller, dialing in consistent, repeatable results across cycles becomes much easier for serious growers.
Key features:
-
True full-spectrum PAR accuracy – 389–692 nm ± 5 nm response improves measurement accuracy with LED, HID, and mixed-light setups.
-
Automatic PPFD control with Hydro-X – sensor feedback lets the Hydro-X controller raise or dim supplemental lighting to lock in your target PPFD.
-
Plug & play integration – RJ12 cable, T-splitter, and clamp hardware make installation fast on existing Hydro-X networks.
-
Optimized for harsh grow environments – reliable operation from 32–122 °F and up to 90% humidity for long-term use in grow rooms and greenhouses.
-
Consistent canopy-level readings – designed for onsite reading at plant height so you can tune light levels exactly where your plants are growing.
