PHOTOBIO

PHOTOBIO LED Grow Lights for Commercial Horticulture

PHOTOBIO is a commercial horticultural lighting brand produced by Sunlight Supply, one of the largest horticultural product distributors in North America. Their TX and MX LED bar array series are designed for commercial greenhouse and indoor production, providing verified photometric data, 0-10V dimming compatibility, and the component quality (Samsung or equivalent diodes, commercial-grade drivers) that commercial operations require. PHOTOBIO occupies the competitive commercial LED tier alongside Growers Choice and Iluminar -- delivering commercial-grade performance at competitive price points with the backing of Sunlight Supply's distribution and service infrastructure.

PHOTOBIO TX Series

The PHOTOBIO TX series are multi-bar LED arrays for primary canopy lighting, covering 4x4 to 5x5 ft flowering footprints at 2.7-3.0+ umol/joule efficiency. TX fixtures use Samsung LM301H diodes and are dimmable via 0-10V analog input for TrolMaster and compatible controller integration. Published PPFD maps are available for each TX model -- use these with our PPFD & Light Coverage Calculator to confirm coverage for your specific canopy dimensions.

PHOTOBIO MX Series

The PHOTOBIO MX series is designed for controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and greenhouse supplemental lighting applications, with specifications suited to overhead mounting in higher-clearance commercial facilities. For operations comparing PHOTOBIO against Gavita, Growers Choice, and Iluminar, PHOTOBIO's distribution through Sunlight Supply provides broad dealer availability and service access across North America. Commercial accounts available.

PHOTOBIO FAQ

How does PHOTOBIO compare to Gavita and Growers Choice?

All three are commercial-tier LED brands using Samsung LM301H or equivalent diodes at 2.7-3.0+ umol/joule efficiency. Gavita has the most established commercial track record, EL2 Master Controller ecosystem for large-facility management, and the widest service network globally. Growers Choice has strong pricing and the most grower community documentation. PHOTOBIO's primary advantage is its distribution through Sunlight Supply, the largest horticultural distributor in North America -- broad dealer availability and service access. For most commercial operations evaluating all three, photometric performance is comparable; the differentiators are price, controller ecosystem compatibility, and distributor/service infrastructure priorities.

What canopy size does a PHOTOBIO TX cover?

The PHOTOBIO TX series covers 4x4 to 5x5 ft flowering footprints depending on the specific model wattage. Published PPFD maps are available for each TX fixture at multiple hanging heights -- use these with our PPFD Calculator to confirm coverage for your exact canopy dimensions and target intensity (typically 900-1,100+ umol/m2/s for peak flowering). For commercial facility design with multiple PHOTOBIO fixtures, our commercial team can assist with layout planning -- call 888-815-9763.

Are PHOTOBIO lights compatible with TrolMaster?

Yes -- PHOTOBIO TX fixtures accept 0-10V analog dimming input, which is compatible with TrolMaster Hydro-X Pro's 0-10V analog output. This enables automated dimming schedules, temperature-triggered light reduction, and remote intensity adjustment via the TrolMaster app. Connect the 0-10V dimming cable from each PHOTOBIO fixture to the Hydro-X's analog output channels for coordinated multi-fixture dimming control.

What warranty does PHOTOBIO offer?

PHOTOBIO TX and MX series fixtures carry a 5-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and LED failure. Warranty service is provided through Sunlight Supply's dealer network. For commercial installations where warranty service turnaround time affects production continuity, confirm replacement fixture availability through your local Sunlight Supply dealer before committing to a large installation. Our commercial team at Hydrobuilder can assist with warranty questions for PHOTOBIO fixtures purchased through us.

Is PHOTOBIO available for commercial volume orders?

Yes -- PHOTOBIO fixtures are available for commercial volume orders through Hydrobuilder's commercial accounts program. Commercial accounts provide dedicated pricing, priority order processing, and commercial support for facility builds and expansions. Contact our commercial team at 888-815-9763 or set up a commercial account online to access commercial pricing for PHOTOBIO and other qualified LED brands. Commercial accounts available.

Im a home grower

These are the absolute BEST filters ive ever used. ive been buying them for the last 15 years now. Ill never buy another brand.
This is the ONLY brand ive ever found that I can run for 4 solid years without stinking up the hood. My wife hates that. let me say... that i swap them out before they fail and turn them into air scrubbers for drying flower. to be honest the ones ive swapped out after 4 years have NEVER failed. They still make work perfectly as air scrubbers. buying the other brands made me paranoid. the other brands fail before the first run is out! my wife doesnt like it when the neighbors are phoning about the odor.

Im a home grower with 45 years experience. yeah, really. I live in a nice neighborhood with lots of people walking their dogs by my house. I grow some fantastic living soil cannabis.
Many of the strains i choose absolutely reek.

I buy the 8x40 can lites.. they fit perfectly in the top of a 5x9 gorilla tent with cam/max fans. It doesnt get any better. I look for the stinkiest strains because they taste the best. Ive probably replaced them 3 times in the last 15 years? theyve never failed. You cant go wrong here. These are the ones youve always hoped for. ive had so many fail over the years i wouldnt have believed what im saying now. im going to buy some more next run.
Id give them 10 stars if i could.

The lights are high quality

The lights are high quality. The kit contains all the hardware needed to install the light in different ways. The controller (included) is nice, but a central controller is available that can integrate numerous lights.

Great sweetener for sweeter fruit & soil health.

Love the BioNova line and this sweetner is amazing. Super concentrated and great results. Used in high flowering & fruiting plats. Also works well on things like strawberries & peppers! I bought the 1L but either seems out of stock & hopefully HydroBuilder will still carry that size.

Best PK booster on the market

Best PK booster on the market: It has everything to make things go. it contains aminos, low ballast PK 13/14 boost - and at MOST you will use is 2ml/gallon. Best product on the market. Have used in many plants: peppers, strawberries & other HIGH fruiting/flowering plants. Amazing results. If in soil, use this with the soil supermix.

BioNova is the best

I love this product in my Hydroponics garden. This would also be a great primary A/B for your garden as well. SUPER concentrated, and the highest quality inputs i've used in the hydroponics space. 10/10
