SSK-1560-730-560-Kit: Optimize Plant Growth with Far Red Light

Introducing the SSK-1730-560-Kit, a specialized 6-board LED grow light kit designed to harness the power of Cree XPE-2 730nm LEDs. Tailored for those seeking to exploit the Emerson Effect during the “end of day” light cycle, or to encourage stretch in shorter strains during early vegetation, this kit is your go-to solution for targeted light spectrum enhancement.

Kit Contents

• 6 x SSK-3560 Boards: Each board measures 560mm x 24mm and comes pre-equipped with Molex Solderless connectors, enabling quick, solder-free setup. The boards emit light at 730nm, ideal for Far Red spectrum supplementation.
• 1 x ERP SLM160W-1.05-160-ZA Driver: A 160-watt, 0-10V dimmable power supply that ensures your setup is both energy-efficient and adaptable.
• Dimming Control: Included 0-10V dimmer allows for precise light intensity adjustments, catering to the specific needs of your plants.
  • Option, why not add a Wireless Shelly 0-10V controller, WIFI or Bluetooth. No hub required! Easy control through the Shelly Smart Control app, most platforms and protocols, as well as voice assistants. Use it with Alexa, Home Assistant, or your preferred automation platform.

• Installation Accessories: Comes complete with
  • 6 Wago 221-412 connectors,
  • 6 Cutter 560mm double-sided thermal adhesive tapes for easy mounting.
  • 8ft of black and red 18 AWG wire for interconnections.

Features

• Effective Coverage: Ideal for 5×5 or 6×6 areas, providing ample Far Red light to leverage the Emerson Effect for enhanced plant development.
• Energy Efficiency: At 2.9 umoles/j, this kit is designed to deliver high-intensity light with minimal energy expenditure.
• Easy Assembly: The boards are already mounted with thermal adhesive tape for immediate installation, offering an optional preference upon request.

Assembly Notes

The SSK-1560-730-560-Kit features Metal Core PCBs (aluminium) for excellent thermal management. For optimal durability and ease of installation, it is recommended to mount the boards onto an aluminium plate. This setup not only strengthens the assembly but also facilitates easy hanging. Integrate these boards amidst white strip lights to provide the additional 660nm spectrum needed for flowering or plant structuring.

Understanding Light Spectrum Impact

Incorporating Far Red light into your indoor garden can significantly influence plant growth and morphology. While red light alone may lead to elongated, stretched plants, combining it with a small percentage of blue light creates a balanced spectrum that supports compact, robust growth. This kit’s Far Red LEDs can be strategically used to achieve desired growth patterns, making it an essential tool for indoor horticulture enthusiasts seeking to maximize yield and plant health.

Embrace the full potential of your indoor garden with the SSK-1730-560-Kit. Whether you’re looking to enhance flowering, improve plant structure, or simply optimize your garden’s light environment, this kit provides the targeted spectrum support your plants need to thrive.
