Gavita Pro 1700e LED
A high‑intensity commercial‑grade full‑spectrum LED grow light delivering 1700 µmol/s output at 645 W input (≈2.6 µmol/J), with passive cooling, IP66 rating, and dimmable via external controller—ideal for both growth and flowering.
This fixture features eight full‑spectrum LED bars populated with Samsung white and Osram deep red diodes, driven by Philips Advance drivers. Rated at 645 W and delivering 1700 µmol/s, it achieves around 2.6 µmol per watt—matching a 1000 W HPS in output while using significantly less power and heat. Passive cooling eliminates moving parts, increasing reliability. It operates at up to 40 °C ambient, IP66 wet-rated and UL8800 compliant for harsh environments. Dimming (50–100%) is available when paired with Gavita’s E‑Series LED Adapter and EL Master Controller, enabling large-scale control and scheduling.
