Faven Lighting LED Grow Lights
Faven Lighting produces a focused range of commercial-grade LED grow light fixtures built around high-efficiency Samsung LM301H diodes and meanwell drivers -- the component pairing widely adopted by the top tier of commercial LED manufacturers for its reliability and photon efficiency. Faven's product strategy is simple: engineer fixtures at 2.7-3.0+ umol/joule efficiency, build them with commercial-rated components, and price them competitively against the established commercial LED brands. For growers who want commercial-grade fixture performance without paying the brand premium of Gavita or Growers Choice, Faven is a strong option with verified production performance at scale.
Faven Top Canopy Bar Arrays
Faven's main line consists of overhead LED bar arrays designed for primary canopy lighting in 4x4, 5x5, and larger commercial growing footprints. Bar array design distributes light evenly across the full canopy width with significantly better uniformity than single-source panel LEDs -- reducing the center-to-edge PPFD gradient that can cause uneven canopy development across a multi-plant setup. Faven top canopy fixtures are dimmable via 0-10V analog input, compatible with TrolMaster controllers and other standard 0-10V dimming systems for automated lighting schedule management. Photometric data and PPFD maps are published for each Faven fixture -- use the manufacturer's PPFD map and our PPFD & Light Coverage Calculator to verify coverage for your exact canopy dimensions before purchasing.
Faven Under Canopy Supplemental Lighting
Faven also produces under-canopy supplemental LED bars designed to be mounted at mid-canopy height, delivering additional photons to the lower and middle canopy that overhead fixtures cannot penetrate efficiently through a dense top canopy. Under-canopy supplementation is most impactful in high-density flowering grows where the lower third of the canopy receives significantly less PPFD than the top -- under-canopy bars at 100-200 umol/m2/s can increase total plant photosynthesis and improve final quality in the lower canopy. The Faven under canopy system integrates with their top canopy fixtures on the same dimming infrastructure. See our updated guide to under-canopy lighting for positioning and intensity recommendations. Expert support available.
Faven Lighting FAQ
What makes Faven LED grow lights different?
Faven builds fixtures around Samsung LM301H diodes and Meanwell drivers -- the same core components used in the highest-efficiency commercial LEDs from Gavita and Growers Choice -- at competitive pricing. Their efficiency rating of 2.7-3.0+ umol/joule puts them in the top tier of commercial LED performance. Faven's under-canopy supplemental lighting line is a distinctive offering: dedicated bars designed specifically for mid-canopy mounting rather than overhead application, with intensity calibrated for supplemental rather than primary light output. For growers looking for commercial-grade fixtures at a lower price point than the established premium brands, Faven offers verified performance with published photometric data.
What canopy size does a Faven LED cover?
Faven's top canopy bar arrays cover 4x4 to 5x5 ft flowering footprints depending on the specific fixture wattage and published PPFD map. Always verify using the manufacturer's PPFD map at your target hanging height -- Faven publishes PPFD data for their fixtures at multiple hanging heights. Use our PPFD & Light Coverage Calculator to map the fixture output against your specific canopy dimensions and confirm it meets your target PPFD (typically 900-1,100+ umol/m2/s for full flowering).
Can Faven lights be dimmed and controlled with TrolMaster?
Yes -- Faven fixtures accept 0-10V analog dimming input, which is compatible with TrolMaster Hydro-X Pro's analog output and most other standard 0-10V dimming controllers. This allows automated dimming schedules (sunrise/sunset ramping), remote adjustment via the TrolMaster app, and high-temperature protection dimming when ambient temperature exceeds your setpoint. Dimming to 50-70% during vegetative growth reduces heat and electricity consumption while maintaining adequate PPFD for the lower vegetative requirement, then ramping to 100% at flower initiation.
What is Faven under canopy lighting and how does it work?
Faven's under-canopy LED bars mount at mid-canopy height (typically 12-24 inches above the substrate surface) to provide supplemental photons to the lower and middle canopy that the overhead primary fixture cannot reach efficiently through dense flowering plant material. Under-canopy bars typically target 100-200 umol/m2/s additional PPFD at the lower canopy level, increasing total photosynthesis in areas that would otherwise receive only 50-150 umol/m2/s from the overhead fixture alone. The improvement in lower-canopy quality and uniformity is most significant in high-density flowering setups where canopy density is sufficient to block meaningful light penetration from the top. See our under-canopy lighting guide for positioning and intensity recommendations.
