In taller plants, the lower branches often get too little light from a fixture above. Under-canopy LED systems solve that by adding light from below or beside the canopy. This collection includes the Platinum Under Canopy LED 150W, a connection cable of 90 cm for linking units and a power cable with 0–10V for connecting to a controller. Mount the bars between or below the plants at a safe distance from the leaves, and run them on the same schedule as your main light or slightly shorter. They work alongside your main lighting, not instead of it. Find main fixtures in full spectrum LED lights, controllers in controllers and more options from Platinum.
