Upgrade your current HPS SON-T system to LED

The importance of light distribution in LED grow light systems is many times seriously underestimated. Certainly grass which is sensitive to fluctuations over the turf pitch in received PPFD are in absolute need of a proper light distribution.
A perfect even light distribution over the turf pitch from a single luminaire is still something most grow lights seem to have difficulties with to manage.

A lot of horticulture grow lights that even use LEDs, spread out over a cooler. Often without the use of any optics to control the beam distribution, just with a simple glass or plexi cover.
With these lamps the light output always comes as a 120 degree beam with a parabolic shape.

A LED package without secondary optics has a typical light distribution angle of 120° or 80°. This means that when the energy directly under the light fixture = 100%, you will have a light and energy decrease to 80% at 30 degrees left and right, and a further erosion to 40% at 60 degrees left and right of the luminaire. As an effect, homogeneous grass growth is not possible with this kind of setup.

With the Mechatronix CoolStack® grow lights you can choose from various TIR or "Total Internal Reflection" lenses for an optimal balance between light distribution and grass penetration resulting in an optimal energy efficiency and even grass growth.
