PHOTOBIO MX2 680 Watt LED Grow Light

The PHOTOBIO MX2 changes everything, again. The best-selling PHOTOBIO MX fixture evolves with higher output and better efficiencies while still delivering the same great recipe many growers have come to love. We care about you and your crops. We know nothing will stop you from focusing on the goal and trying to do better. Photobio has similar beliefs, to always try to raise the bar and be BETTER. The result is a 1,870 uMol/s (PAR) fixture that consumes the same power as the original MX while delivering enhanced efficacy at 2.8 uMol/J. The PHOTOBIO MX2 offers 10% more photon output, 10% better efficiency and a 47% weight reduction compared to the original model. The wide light bars deliver the uniformity and intensity that professional growers desire. Increase yields while driving down operational cost with the PHOTOBIO MX2.

MX2 Upgrades Comparing to Previous Generation:

• 10% more light output
• 10% increase in fixture efficacy
• 47% weight reduction
• Improved locking hinges for easy installation and longevity

Everything you loved about PHOTOBIO MX is inherited to MX2:

• Best-in-class proprietary optical encapsulation process for the LED coating.
• S4 Spectrum: Full spectrum optimized for all stages of growth and friendly to workers.
• iLOC on-board dimming: Stay in control without an external controller.
• Standard 0-10v dimming: compatible with all PHOTOBIO dimming interfaces and major controllers.
• ETL Listed and DLC Hort QPL Listed: eligible for energy rebates.
• Heavy duty and premium quality: Efficient architecture-grade aluminum heatsink, powder coated finish.
• IP65 Rating for dust and water protection.
• 5-year Warranty backed by the Hydrofarm team.

S4 Spectrum

The S4 spectrum provides highly efficient full spectrum with a healthy red-to-blue ratio to drive photosynthesis. Light energy between 500-599nm, previoulsy thought wasted, penetrates deeper into the plant canopy promoting photomorphogenic responses. High color rendering "white" light aids to rapidly identify potential threats to your crop and provides superior working conditions and safety for personnel. Ideal for both flowering and vegetative production.

Optional Upgrade: Autopilot PX2 Digital Lighting controller

The Autopilot PX2 Advanced Lighting Controller provides precision photoperiod control of up to 512 fixtures in two independently controlled zones, all from one centralized location. Designed to work with any controllable Phantom or Core HID fixtures, as well as PHOTOBIO LED fixtures, the PX2 can control 512 digital HID fixtures (256 per zone), or 100 analog LED fixtures (50 per zone). The PX2 offers the flexibility to operate both zones analog or digital, or one zone analog and the other digital.

The PX2 offers the flexibility to operate both zones analog or digital, or one zone analog and the other digital. With this versatile, dual-zone configuration, growers can:

• Optimize spectral treatments by checker boarding lighting technologies within the same environment (e.g., HPS with CMH, LED with CMH)
• Save power by checker boarding identical fixtures while reducing output to one of the zones during the light cycle within the same environment
• Alternate rows and zones within the same environment
• Enhance uniformity by independent control over perimeter versus interior of the environment
