Coverage Areas and How to Hang Our Grow Lights

Spectrum King LED makes top quality grow lights for the modern power conscious gardener. All of our 400 Series lights are made to cover your typical 4’x4′ trays that are commonly used in indoor gardens. Our 300 Series are meant for 3’x3′ areas. Please note that they actually put out a round light footprint but the quality light is concentrated on your standard 4’x4′ tray for the 400 Series and 3’x3′ tray for the 300 Series.

The logic behind our lights was quite simple: the sun works best so why don’t we just model our light after the sun? It can be shocking to many gardeners who are firmly entrenched in the, “you need a metal halide for veg and high pressure sodium for flower” schools of thought. We know that may be shocking to some but do you have to change the sun when you grow plants outdoors? Is there a blue spectrum sun and then you can switch for a red spectrum sun? Obviously the answer to both of those questions is a resounding NO!

Plants have evolved with full spectrum light for millions if not billions of years (there are other opinions on this but I’m sticking with the majority view) and it comes down to seasons, location (longitude, latitude, altitude, climate etc) and available water, rainfall and nutrients. Well we know that indoor gardeners have full control over all of those variables and now have a better more energy efficient full spectrum lighting option with Spectrum King LED lights. Give your plants full spectrum intense light and they’ll pay you back. Now with that being said let’s get back to coverages and how to hang our lights!

How to hang our lights

Your standard rope ratchet rated at 40lbs will easily hold our lights which weigh from 21 to 26lbs depending upon the model and options chosen with an “S” hook is all you need. Please note that most rope ratchets have carabiners too small to fit our lights and that is why we recommend an “S” hook as it makes it so much easier to hang the light. You can use the additional bracket to hang the light at the angle of your choice from a fixed position or just use the center ring to hang the light and be able to adjust the lights height when needed.
