The ALL-NEW Covert LED-X Series Grow Lights Now Available From Hydrobuilder.com!

Note: Minimal assembly required. The Covert LED-X 500 Watt Grow Lights need to be assembled out of the box.

With only 500 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 500 watt Covert LED-X is designed to cover a vegetative footprint of 5' x 5' - 6' x 6' and a 4' x 4' - 5' x 5' footprint in flower. These low profile, lightweight fixtures are perfect for grows of any size! For a smaller coverage, check out the little sister of the 500W LED-X, the Covert 250 Watt LED-X Grow Light. All Covert LED-X Series lights are controllable with the optional Covert Advanced Master Lighting Controller (sold separately).

Covert LED-X Spectrum

Now dimmable without the use of an external controller

The Covert LED-X 500 now has a built-in knob for dimming the fixture between a range of 200 - 500 Watts. Set the perfect amount of power for your plant's needs without plugging in another piece of hardware. There is a setting on the knob to turn to EXT for external for those who wish to plug their controllers into the light.


Covert LED-X Kit

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.

Looking to grow full-cycle from the comfort of your own home? Our LED-X grow lights require no maintenence, no bulb changes, and no worrying. Check out our pre-set LED-X Grow Tent Kits here to start growing your own top-shelf product.


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.

Covert LED-X PAR Distribution

Covert LED-X Output

Output and Efficiency

Operating at only 500 watts with an output of 1050 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 Lighting Controller 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.

Great customer service and great light

I ordered the one of these after a friend recommended it and when I received it one of the plugs on the driver didn’t work, but the light bar did. So they asked me to send a short video of it not working which I did and they sent an entire new light. Driver, light bars, cords, everything! I’m sure the solder probably just broke during shipping and it can easily be fixed but very pleased with how fast and easy they made it to get my fully functional light ASAP. The light is very nice and well built and the plants love it. I used to use a 1000w hps and my electric bill is the only thing that has gone down with the switch to this led. Yield is pretty much the same and so is quality. I used both the led and hps for a couple yields because I was apprehensive about fully trusting the led but once I shut off hps the plants didn’t seem to notice. Very good light

I found it to be overall a great product!!

It is a very well built, solid bar style led grow light . I noticed a huge difference in my garden, my plants seem to love the spectrum. I have tight internode spacing heavy trichome production and fat colas all day ! It also doesn't get very hot at all and I keep it 12 inches above my canopy with no issues.its a super bright light for only 500 watts at the wall ! I highly recommend it and i am in No way affiliated with hydro builder this is a honest review from my personal experience using the covert x 500

Amazing light for the price

Amazing light for the price. I have had other fixtures in the price range and this has been far better without a doubt. I have had great cycles with great results with it and will keep it going without a doubt. I considered higher priced fixtures before ultimately landing on this one and I can’t see how they can be much better, if any for a higher price. The fixture temp give off is pretty coexistent with household AC and Heat demands, little warm in winter but nothing opening the tent some doesn’t fix. Power consumption isn’t bad by any means either. I also had a 4” strip of lights go out on me and warranty shipped me a brand new fixture with no return of old one. Amazing customer service. Amazing performance. Definitely recommend for growers of all levels.

Great beginner light paired with controller.

Currently in my third cycle of gals with this fixture and I will say it produces great results for the customization restrictions the controller entails. I currently have this in a 4x4 tent and haven't been able to turn this thing to maximum intensity. 80% is highest its been before burn, and it is able to go up to 115% with the controller. The spectrum customization are preset channels for seed, veg, bloom - favoring certain colors for each phase, which are spot on.. but not customizable. I own other fixtures for cheaper prices that allow more customizable spectrum options than this fixture, without a controller. I do HVAC for a living, so I own fancier temp and RH sensors than the ones included with this one and these are way off. Temperature isn't bad but RH is terribly off. Reading 100% RH when my other sensors read much much less, not to mention those levels would cause drastic problems with the girls and that is never the case. Timer is spot on, assembly is simple, height changes are easy because there essentially is never a change due to intensity. Heat is fine. Generally everything is perfect you could say besides the previously stated things, and they are no where near complaints; Just characteristics I personally just believe to make this fixture a perfect beginner light. Set the spectrum, time, height and let her rip.

5 Star beginner light, well done Hydro.

Great Light

I needed a light for a second tent. I intended on purchasing a different light, but it was out of stock so bought the LED-X 500 for my 4x4 tent. GREAT Choice! I have a HLG 650 in a 5x5 tent and I'll say that the LED-X-500 seems to do just as good a job or better squeezed into my 4x4 tent! My plants LOVE it!
