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).

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.

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.

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 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.
