The ALL-NEW Covert LED-X Series Grow Lights Now Available From Hydrobuilder.com!
With only 250 watts pulled from the wall, the all-new Covert LED-X series grow light provides a complete full spectrum ideal for the vegetative stage through the flowering phase, resulting in increased crop quality and yields over similar wattage LED's on the market. The design of these fixtures allow light to be spread throughout the entire footprint more evenly, reducing hotspots and delivering uniform levels of photosynthesis flux density, or PPFD.
The 250 watt Covert LED-X is designed to cover a vegetative footprint of up to 4' x 4 - 5' x 5' and 3' x 3' - 4' x 4' in flower. These low profile, lightweight fixtures are perfect for grow tents or smaller grows. For a larger coverage area and higher PPF output, check out the big sister of the 250W LED-X, the Covert 500 Watt LED-X Grow Light. All Covert LED-X Series lights are controllable with the optional Covert Advanced Master Lighting Controller (sold separately).

Balanced Full-Spectrum
The Covert LED-X series features a perfect blend of both full-spectrum white LED diodes and far-red LED diodes. This results in the perfect spectrum for all phases of growth.
The mix of white and red LEDs result in a relatively high ratio of bluish light. Blue light keeps your crop tight and compact in the vegetative stage and adds to optimal morphogenesis and light uptake by the plant. It maintains the photosynthetic system of the plant, which can shorten your flowering time. Blue light also signals stomatal opening during the light-on period.
The spread of red LEDs throughout the open 4-bar fixture ensures a uniformly mixed spectrum on your plants at short distances. The far-red LED's help encourage stem growth, blooming/flowering and bud production.
The perfect full-spectrum light output is a great match for grow tent growing. This LED is super easy to use in a grow tent kit, all you have to do is set the on and off times (16/8 for veg & 12/12 for flower) and lets your plant fluorish. No changing bulbs, no maintenence, no worries. Want a ready-to-grow tent kit with the 250 watt Covert LED-X? View our selection of Covert LED-X tent kits here.
Even Coverage & PAR Distribution
The unique 4-bar configuration gives you the ability to mount this LED in rooms with low ceilings, on vertical growing racks, over grow benches and especially in grow tents. For the ideal uniformity, hang the fixture about 12" inches from the crop.
This new multi-bar LED fixture type is quickly becoming the new standard, due to the even light spread over the canopy, while easily dispersing heat from the open style bar fixture.


Output and Efficiency
Operating at only 250 watts with an output of 525 µmol s-1, this LED achieves an efficiency of 2.1 µmol s-1 per watt. Four passively cooled LED bars provide great light coverage with no fans or moving parts, reducing the chance of failure compared to other LED fixtures with built-in fans.
The high fixture efficiency of 2.1 μmol s-1 per Watt enables you to finally leap ahead in reducing your HVAC requirements compared to HPS/MH lighting. The high efficiency but low powered LED configuration with 4 LED bars spread out reduces the temperature of the LEDs, increasing the output and improving their light maintenance.
Optional Controller
When using the optional Covert Advanced Master Lighting Controller with Touchscreen you will bring your indoor garden to the next level with new-age automation, all at an affordable price for home, hobby and professional growers.
When the Covert LED-X series is paired with the Covert Advanced Master Lighting Controller you will be able to control up to 100 fixtures with the same controller. The Covert controller also features on/off times, high temp shut-off, dimming, and controls up to 2 separate zones or rooms. Controller sold separately.
