What we measured
The three artifacts a lighting plan is actually drawn from. Every figure below comes off our own spec sheet; where we do not have a measurement, the page says so instead of estimating.
Coverage & PPFD
Rated flowering footprint, 4 × 7 ft. Both readings are µmol/m²/s measured 1 ft from canopy (mounting range 6-24 in). The shading illustrates centre-to-edge falloff; it is not a measured grid. A full PPFD map at your mounting height comes with the quote.
2-channel spectrum
Full spectrum white (Samsung LM281B) + 450nm blue + 660nm deep red + 730nm far-red + 395nm UV. Each channel dims on its own — at the fixture or over group control.

The highest-output flexible-arm fixture: 4,200 µmol/s over a 4ft × 7ft flowering bench, delivering 1,225 µmol/m²/s average at canopy. Two channels rather than three — UV and far-red move together against the white/blue base — which is the right simplification for production rooms running a fixed recipe at high intensity. 2,250W HPS replacement.
What you get
- 4,200 µmol/s, 1,500W at 277VAC.
- 1,225 µmol/m²/s average PPFD at 12 inches, peaking at 1,613 under the fixture — the highest canopy average in the flexible-arm family.
- Two-channel control: UV and far-red on one dimmer, white and blue on the other, both 0-100%.
- 4ft × 7ft flowering, 5ft × 8ft vegetative coverage from a 59.1"-long flexible-arm frame.
- Deep-red-weighted vegetative spectrum — the DR spectral distribution carries a markedly stronger 660nm peak than the TF and TR fixtures.
- 120-277VAC or 277-480VAC, 5.42A at 277V, power factor above 0.95.
- Passive cooling to 40°C ambient; IP65, flicker-free, damp-location rated.
- Five-year standard warranty, L90 beyond 50,000 hours.

Before you spec it
What do I give up moving from three channels to two?
Independent UV dosing. On the DR, UV and far-red share a dimmer, so you cannot ramp far-red into late flower while holding UV flat. If that is part of your protocol, take the TF 1600W PRO or TR 1000W PRO instead. If UV and far-red always move together in your recipe, the two-channel fixture is one fewer thing to get wrong at scale.
DR 1500W PLUS or TF 1600W PRO?
Close in output — 4,200 against 4,480 µmol/s — but different benches: 4ft × 7ft here, 4ft × 8ft for the TF. Then frame (flexible arm vs folding panel) and channels (two vs three). Match the footprint to your bench pitch first; the rest follows.
Can I run it alongside the smaller DR?
Yes. The DR 1060W PLUS is the same frame and two-channel scheme at 2,968 µmol/s over 4ft × 6ft — a common pairing where a room mixes 4ft × 7ft and 4ft × 6ft benches. Both group-control from one GC001.
How much current does a room of these draw?
5.42A per fixture at 277V, 12.5A at 120V, power factor above 0.95. At 1,500W each, connected load rather than circuit current is usually the planning constraint — worth modelling before you fix the fixture count.
