Be smart about your choice! Meet the foldable Smart 8 that is designed specifically for high PPFD cultivation practices in growing.
Smart 8 760 watt is built using high quality Sosen drivers and top bin LEDs from Osram generating a full-spectrum light source ideal for veg and flowering cycles. It covers each phase of growth from vegetative to flowering and casts an area up to 5x5 in flower. Producing outstanding PPF of 2136 μmol/s and a photon efficacy of 2.8 μmol/J, it can also deliver the entire spectrum of light evenly to your plants, giving them exactly what they want to grow big and fast.
The onboard easy-to-read LCD display allows you quickly and easily to check your timing settings, power, dimming, spectrum, PPF and more. There are two built-in knobs above the screen. The right one allows you to easily dim the light from 100% down to 80%, 60% and 40% intensity without the need for any external controllers, while the other is to schedule time for your plants at 6/12/14/16/18 hours. The Bloom button sits between the two knobs, giving you the convenience of switching the spectrum from vegetative (V1) to flowering (F1).
For commercial growers, the Smart 8 can be externally daisy chained with a medic grow lighting controller featuring light timing, dimming (1% increments), temperature control for up to 75 fixtures. Each light has a general life expectancy of 50,000 hrs and a 5-year long warranty period, thus, you will get full assurance from us about the durability of the lights.

15. Can you tell me the light distance and light intensity for all: 1) seedling stage, 2) veg stage and 3) flowering stage?
It really depends on which species that you are planning to plant. Each of your plant’s phases of growth would have different spectrum and light intensity needs. Generally speaking, we recommend an 18w fluorescent lamp hang around 6' for the seedling stage, our light at 30' for veg, and at 12' for the flowering stage. You can adjust the height of the light or by using the dimmer so that you can tune the photon intensity to fit in various growth stages..

Maintenance Tips
-
Routine Cleaning: Always unplug the light before cleaning. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe off dust and debris from the LED surface. For a more thorough cleaning, dampen the cloth lightly (avoid excess water), and gently clean the fixture. Never allow moisture to seep into the light’s electrical components.
-
Inspect Cooling System: Ensure that the internal cooling system (fans or heat sinks) is free from dust and debris. Dust buildup can cause the system to overheat, reducing the light’s efficiency. Clean the fans and heat sinks regularly to maintain optimal cooling.
-
Check Wiring and Connections: Inspect the power cables, plugs, and connectors for any visible signs of damage or wear. Replace any faulty cables immediately to avoid electrical malfunctions.
-
Lens and Reflector Cleaning: Clean the lenses and reflective surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth or lens cleaning solution to ensure optimal light intensity. Dirt or debris can block light output and reduce overall performance.
-
Dimming and Timer Functions: Regularly check the dimming, built-in timer, and sunrise/sunset settings to ensure they are working as intended. These features help control light cycles and intensity, which is crucial for plant health.
-
Verify Spectrum Control: Make sure the tunable spectrum is adjusted according to the growth phase of your plants. The Smart-8 light allows you to modify the spectrum for optimal vegetative or flowering stages. Periodically check and adjust the settings for the best results.
-
UV and IR Channel Check: If the light includes UV and IR channels, monitor their operation as these can degrade over time. Make sure they are functioning properly and replace any damaged components when needed.
-
Proper Placement: Ensure the light is placed in an area where it won’t be exposed to excessive heat or moisture. High humidity or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and lifespan of the LEDs and electronics.
-
Daisy-Chaining Safety: If connecting multiple lights using the daisy chain function, ensure you’re not overloading the circuit. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended limits for the number of units to prevent electrical issues.
-
Power Surge Protection: Use a surge protector to shield the light from power spikes, which can damage sensitive electronics. This will extend the life of the fixture and maintain stable performance.
-
Monitor Light Output: Regularly check the light output intensity to ensure the LEDs are still functioning optimally. Dimming the light when not needed will help preserve its lifespan.
-
Store Properly When Not in Use: If the light is not being used for a period, store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and dust. Proper storage ensures that it remains in good working condition.
-
Replace Damaged LEDs: Over time, some LEDs may burn out or become less efficient. If you notice reduced light intensity or color changes, replace any malfunctioning LEDs promptly.
