Dimlux Xplore Series, NIR+UV ADD-ON - 2x25W LED

EXPAND YOUR LIGHT SPECTRUM

Expand your light spectrum with our UV-A and far-red (NIR) add-on devices. They are available in 3 versions: UV-A, NIR, or UV-A+NIR, all of which can be used within a single setup. Each add-on has its own unique spectrum. UV-A and NIR add-ons can be used together with separate timers for maximum effect. For simplicity, the combined UV-A+NIR fixture is the best choice.

WHY UV?

UV wavelengths can alter the color, taste, and smell of a plant. These changes often make plants more attractive to humans but more toxic to certain insects. Plants with increased levels of these taste and aroma compounds are less likely to be eaten by insects! Additionally, UV light prevents the spread and severity of fungal spores.

FAR-RED (NIR)

Can be used as a photosynthesis booster in combination with red light. When used after sunset, it accelerates nighttime metabolism and sleep cycles. Far-red accelerates flower initiation and may shorten the night while extending the day for increased photosynthesis (higher DLI).  During the growth and early flowering phases, plants may grow taller. Conversely, plants can initially be kept very compact (far-red off) and then elongate during the transition to the flowering phase.
