Kind LED K5 XL1000 WiFi Specs

KIND LED K5 XL1000 diodes

Before we dive into our Kind LED K5 XL1000 WiFi review, here are the specifications and general features of the light.

There are 320 diodes total, with a mix of 3w and 5w chips. The diodes are rated for 50,000 working hours, an incredibly long life span.

This LED consumes just 630 watts, capable of replacing a 1000 watt grow light. It comes equipped with a 6-foot 110-volt power cord.

The light is UL Listed and features CE and ROHS certifications, and comes with a 3-year warranty.

It only weighs in at 36 pounds, making it lighter than many of it’s competitors. Now, let's cover some of the new features that really set it apart from other LED's.

Complete Review Of The KIND LED K5 XL1000 WiFi

The KIND K5 is not exactly a brand new grow light. The KIND LED XL1000 V1 has been the gold standard in LED lighting for a long time.

But, always at the forefront of innovation, KIND decided to take things a step further with this WiFi-enabled version.

The new KIND K5 brings many other improvements to the market, including enhanced UV diodes, re-calibrated secondary optical lenses, and a sleek, sexy look.

The slogan behind this new and improved version is that “the best just got better”. We that KIND was spot on with this statement.

Wifi Capability With The KIND Command Center

KIND Command Center

The main feature of the new KIND LED K5 is the WiFi capability. You are able to connect multiple fixtures to the all-new KIND web-based command center.

This gives you the ability to set your timers for on/off, dial in your spectrum, and more - all from your mobile device or computer.

KIND LED Wifi

Not only is this really convenient, but it also saves you time, money, and space on third-party controllers. A few other really cool features of the KIND Command Center are:

  • Preprogrammed lighting schedules (seedling to late flowering stages).
  • Sunrise and sunset intensity changes, which mimic mother nature and improve plant health.
  • The ability to customize and save lighting “recipes” based on your unique growing situation.

The Kind LED K5 XL1000 Wifi light also features an on-board computer and an enhanced LCD interface. This makes programming and initial setup a breeze!

KIND LED K5 WiFi Coverage Area (Footprint) and PAR

The Kind LED K5 Wifi has a decent-sized footprint, covering a vegetative area of 5’ x 5’ and a flowering area of 4’ x 4’.

As you can see from the chart above, the KIND K5’s peak reading at 36” was 720.25 PPFD.

Intensity does diminish towards the outer range of the 5’ x 5’ coverage area, but that’s why we recommend it for flowering areas of 4’ x 4’, when lighting requirements are higher.

KIND LED K5 WiFi Light Penetration and Performance

Now let’s get into the fun part - the actual performance of this light.

As we briefly mentioned earlier, this updated KIND LED K5 features enhanced UV diodes. This leads to an increase in terpene and flavonoid production.

KIND LED K5 XL1000 has fans that disperse heat, allowing it to operate very cool

Making the switch to this light will lead to an increase in the quality and potency of your flower. And, you’ll likely enjoy an increase in weight too.

Using this light can lead to a substantial increase in flower density and harvest weight, through the re-calibrated secondary optical lenses.

These lenses focus light intensity better than the previous version of the Kind K5 LED, and can lead to an increase in canopy penetration of over 200%!
