Dec 19, 2017

The Fluence SPYDR Series delivers a broad spectrum with industry-leading photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) averaging up to 1030 µmol/m2/s over 4-by-4-foot canopies. With a slim form-factor just 4.6-inches thin, and a recommended mounting height just six inches above canopy, the Fluence SPYDR Series is optimized for full-cycle, ultra-dense vertical farming cannabis cultivation. Compared to traditional 1,000W DE HPS lighting, the SPYDR Series is proven to increase yield, total active cannabinoids and energy efficiency.
