Austin, Texas – August 28, 2018 – PRESS RELEASE – Fluence Bioengineering Inc. has announced three new horticulture LED lighting solutions redesigned to enable efficient and productive vertical controlled environments. With an updated and slimmer form factor streamlined for quick and easy deployment,
the new Fluence SPYDR Series represents high-intensity lighting solutions for the vegetative and
flowering stages of cannabis crops.
“The new SPYDR Series has been redesigned for quick and easy deployment in commercial environments,” said Randy Johnson, chief technical officer, Fluence Bioengineering. “By optimizing the profile for vertical growing applications, the second-generation SPYDR Series minimizes the total system’s footprint enabling cultivators to deploy in any commercial-scale environment.”
The new SPYDR Series effectively converts energy into photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), reaching new
levels of lighting efficacy of up to 2.7 micromoles/Joule (μmols/J). Designed to induce the ideal
photobiologic response in plants via broad-spectrum lighting, each new solution encourages consistent,
high-quality plant growth. The reengineered ultra-low profile (1.4 inches thin) delivers high-levels of PPF
to increase space utilization and efficiency for vertical growing applications. Purpose-built for controlled
environments, each LED lighting system is foldable and easily positioned to deliver uniform levels of
photosynthetic photon flux density to each plant and produce higher crop yields per square foot of plant
canopy.
The new SPYDR Series includes three lighting systems: the SPYDR 2x, SPYDR 2p and SPYDR 2i. The new SPYDR Series is ideal for vertically grown cannabis, which require high-intensity lighting.
Key features of each SPYDR LED lighting solution include:
- SPYDR 2x – Successor to SPYDRx, for vegetation and early bloom growth stages of cannabis,
SPYDR 2x offers PPF of up to 875 μmols-per-second, with a lighting efficacy of 2.6 μmols/J. - SPYDR 2p – Well-suited for the bloom growth stage of cannabis, the flagship SPYDR 2p replaces
the first-generation SPYDRx PLUS and offers up to 1580 μmols/s at 2.5 μmols/J. - SPYDR 2i – A limit pushing LED solution for cultivators which wish to stretch cultivation best
practices with the highest levels of light intensity and efficacy, hitting a peak of 1700 μmols/s at
2.7 μmols/J. - The entire SPYDR Series is certified with the ETL Mark and IP66 Rating to withstand watering and
nutrient dispersal in the harshest cultivation environments. - Every SPYDR LED lighting solution is designed and built in Austin, Texas, with an anodized and
extruded aluminum alloy chassis with an integrated passive heatsink to manage thermal heat,
with no moving parts.
The new SPYDR Series will begin shipping in mid-September 2018.
