BE THE 1ST TO HAVE X2!

 

In an effort to continuously improve our products, Hydro Grow is making alterations to our design that will allow for significant performance enhancements over previous Extreme (X1) models. Due to our business model wherein we only offer the latest and most efficient technologies to our customers, we will no longer be offering the X1 version (red casing) of our lights for sale.


The X2 lights will use a re-designed silver casing that will be slimmer and leaner, with the same coverage as X1 models. X2 will use a new version of the Hydro Grow X-lens that is 25% more powerful than X1 (shown below), and because of our incredible thermal management we've bumped the power on all 3W "X-PRO" models an additional 15%! That's a total increase around 35% compared to X1 at no increase in cost! Get your X2 LED Grow Light today and find out what the hype is all about!

Extreme (X) Lenstm technology changing the face of led grow lights for an entire industry.

the foundation of any led grow light is the led. more important than the led
however, is the optic used to direct light from it. standard led grow lights
use a led attached to a pcb (printed circuit board), with a small lens covering
each individual chip. this design proved capable, yet despite the availability
of 60 degree, 90 degree, and 120 degree lenses to focus output, a fair
majority of the light emitted from the lens fell outside it's primary
"viewing angle". Observing this, hydro grow sought out a way to re-
focus this light and direct it back towards the plants where it can be used.

 

led's have been used in many products during the past 20 years, including flashlights, street
lights, and Stage Lights. One thing
all of these products shared is that
they utilized a second, and much larger
lens over the led to re-focus light. it was found during testing that this lens not only altered the projection properties
of light, but also amplified output. observing this, hydro grow began testing on over 20 different types of secondary lenses to pick the one with the best output characteristics for led grow lights.

intensify our patent- pending 21-led light engine confi-
guration. PAR testing co-
mparing our 126W PRO
to our 126X-PRO, showed that the x-lens
produced nearly double
the coverage at over
twice the intensity, equating to 4x the output!
our patent-pending X-lens is the
culmination of 4 years of ongoing
development at hydro grow,
designed to increase intensity
and coverage area simultane
-ously. The X-lens is a single
piece of optics grade pmma
acrylic, the same type used in
corrective eyeglasses. each
x-lens is constructed of 21 uniquely
engineered amplification optics to
while 4x the output was a tremendous achieve- ment for led grow lights, our secon- dary goal was to ensure even spread of light intensity throughout the area covered. to an ensure an even spread, the led's had to be spaced further apart compared to previous models, with light engines spread further from each other on the panel. the x-lens was also given a convex design opposed to a concave or flat design, as it gives the led more surface area and allows for a more even dispersion of light.

The final goal for the x-lens was to ensure the highest penetration possible, using the 400W, 600W, and 1000W HPS as our benchmark to beat. careful detail was put into the precise shaping of our x-lens to ensure maximum light projection. as a result our 336X-PRO emits the same amount of par light at 36", as a 1000W HPS at 48"! this means more light is delivered to the lower parts of your plants, providing deeper penetration for bigger fruits and heavier yields.

Copper Core Heatsinks. Improving Thermal Management for increased lifespan and output.

 

Junction Temperature vs. Relative Luminous Flux graph.

Much like computers, LED's are a chip-based technology and their operating temperature not only affects performance, but lifespan as well. one factor that determines temperature is how much current is passing through the led. The max current a 1W LED can handle is 350mA, and for 3W LED's it is 700mA. The higher the current passing through the led, the hotter it will become. It is therefore very important that 3W LED's have increased thermal manage-ment compared to 1W led's.


The graph above comes from Cree and shows how operating temperatures affect light output from led's. The optimal temperature for led's is between 77-90°F, where output remains between 98-100%. As temperature increases, efficiency decreases to where at only 150°F output has fallen 10%! this reduction in output efficiency also causes faster decay to the led. hydro grow has tested many led grow lights from competitors using 3W led's, and found that the majority of these lights operate between 145-170°F! LED's decay approximately 30% over 50,000 hours of use when operated between 77-122°F, but when temperatures rise above 122°F the rate of decay can increase dramatically. It is therefore very important that a led grow light operate below 122°F to ensure full lifespan.

 

copper heatsinkmaintaining led's at their optimal operating temperature requires heavy-duty heatsinking. our previous penetrator and penetrator pro lights were engineered by china, and produced with flat-plate, aluminum heatsinks like most other led grow lights from china. using this design our 345W PRO reached operating temperatures as high as 127°F, while our 345W reached 105°F. while these temperatures are tolerable, hydro grow is obsessed with having the highest efficiency possible, so we engineered our own cooling system.


three qualities of a heatsink that affect its ability to cool are the materials it is made of, the thickness of those materials, and the overall surface area of the heatsink. Thick aluminum was chosen as the primary metal for our heatsink due to its lightweight properties. We paired this aluminum with a 3mm copper insert, since copper has approximately 2x the conductivity of aluminum and helps reduce semidconductor temperatures. Copper also provides for a more even heat transfer from one surface to the next, reducing "hot spots". the heatsink was then finished with ultra-thin fins to increase surface area and dissipate heat faster.


because operating currents affect the need for cooling, hydro grow chose 3 different thickness heatsinks for our product lines. an 8mm heatsink was created for our eco and eco+ (0.5W) models, a 15 mm heatsink was created for our penetrator-x (1W) models, and a 20mm heatsink was created for our penetrator x-prO (3W) models. We then tested our 336X-PRO in a room where the ambient temperature was 78°F, and after 6 hours of use it reached operating temperatures of only 82°F! compared to the chinese engineering on our 345W PRO, our new 336X-PRO now operates a full 45°F (35%) cooler! This means 100% lifespan and 100% light output from all of our 1W and 3W models!

intelligence in modularity. Smarter Manufacturing meets consumer servicablity.
1. an approach that subdivides a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be created independently for use in multiple products.
2. composed of standardized units or sections for easy construction or flexible arrangement
3. composed of hardware modules that can be altered or replaced without affecting the remainder of the system.
 

Exclusive to hydro grow's extreme led grow lights is our patent-pending, modular manufacturing process. Rather than building a light where all led's are contained on a single pcb (printed circuit board), each of our 21-LED light engines has its own pcb to operate independent of the others. to build a module, each pcb is "sandwiched" between a heatsink and X-lens via phillips head screws. Once assembled and connected to a power supply, each module is essentially its own led grow light. our intelligent design is then finished off with clip-in electrical connectors, making assembly and dissasembly a snap.

 

The hydro grow modular design holds many advantages over competng led grow lights. For example, if a single pcb fails the rest of the light continues to operate as usual. There is no need to discontinue use of the light, and to diagnose the problem usually takes less than 15 minutes. Once diagnosed a new part is sent to you for clip-in or screw-in installation, which takes another 15-20 minutes. if dealing with the competition you may wait weeks to receive a functioning light after sending it in for repair, but thanks to our modular design there is no "down-time" in the event of a warranty issue.

 

 

The ability to upgrade parts is Another unique advantage to the hydro grow modular design. each component is made in such a way that if a new one is developed in the future (ie: a higher performance lens), you can simply purchase the upgraded part rather than buying a whole new light. each part is easily interchanged, requiring only a phillips head screwdriver for assembly.

 

it 's a fact that LED's double in efficiency every 3 years, yet have a rated lifespan of 50,000-100,000 hours. this means new led's will be available with twice the output of the ones you purchase today, long before they expire. Thanks to our Intelligent design you will be able to purchase new pcb's loaded with led's to upgrade your light. in this way our design can end up saving you thousands over the lifespan of our units compared to competing led grow lights.

336X vs Advanced Diamond Series 350W
My current grow of the beef steak tomatoes seems to be going well. The 336x is really killing the 350watt advanced led light in size and flowering. I must say I am surprised that it is not more even. They are sharing the same tent and reservoir, but your light is really out-performing the advanced led light!

Penetrator 205w PRO
I recently purchased 2x 205w Penetrator PRO lights for a setup in a small mylar tent, and the intensity and coverage is absolutely amazing! After only a few seconds of viewing the panels whilst on, I can confirm they are EXTREMELY BRIGHT! Even one of these two panels out-performs my previous 300w LED! They replace HPS lighting extremely well, and have many benefits too. They are easier to work with, and take up less room, use less power, plus they look ultra hi-tech! I would strongly recommend to anybody who is unsure of what LED to buy that these lights are the ones to get! Dont bother with inferior and cheaper knock-offs, you will only be disappointed and left wishing you bought a Penetrator. This is how an LED panel is meant to be. I will never use HPS/MH again! Long live the LED revolution!!

345w penetrator is the future!
I was extremely skeptical when first heard about LEDS, all my grow-buddies told me it was a trashy technology that didnt work very well. This is because most other LED companies, especially the UFO designs use very cheap parts from China in the wrong nanometer spectrum, and they lack intensity because of the degree lens being usually over 100. Penetrator series uses 60 degree lens that makes the light more intense and able to penetrate better, hence the name. Also, This is the only light and company that has independent grows on Youtube proving the superiority of their product. FInally, I love this product for its simplicity! NO HEAT OR VENT ISSUES WHATSOEVER. It might yield 15% less than HID, but it uses 64% less power and saves a bunch more power without needing an Air conditioner or fans! GET IT IF U CAN!!!!

Performance + Stealth = Perfect Grow Light
As someone who requires maximum performance combined with stealthy attributes, LED was the only route to go. After researching the options in summer '10, I decided on the 345W Penetrator. Despite the hefty price tag (a deterrent for some), the early adopter in me pulled the trigger in September and haven't regretted it for a single second. The light penetration is outstanding and the energy is untraceable in the power bill unlike an HPS setup. This reason alone is worth the extra money spent imo. Thanks for the great product.

Funciona a la perfección!
Hola desde españa, les agradezco su trabajo. He comprado el 345W penetrator, y por ahora estoy muy satisfecho. Las plantas crecen y florecen a buen ritmo, el espectro utilizado, parece dar buenos resultados. Lamento la mala prensa que se ha infundado en algundos foros... Yo no se exactamente a que ha sido devido, pero yo en principio, estoy vastante satisfecho con el diseño y funcionamiento de la lámpara. Un saludo!

345W Review
I decided to order 2 of these units after using 2-126W units. I was very impressed, and the plants loved it! I ordered a 3rd unit after the first 2, and I am very happy! Had a power supply burn out, and had a replacement for it very quickly. I asked very nicely, and received a backup for any future issues. Excellent customer service so far! These lights do grow very well, but......any novice growers, be aware that there is a learning curve to finding the sweet spot with these lights, or any LED's! There is a big difference to growing with HID lighting. It has taken 3 grows to fine tune things to maximize these lights! You won't be disappointed!
