At Hydrofarm, we leverage our 40+ years experience to bring you into the future. Our latest high-performance LED fixtures from Phantom Photobio are leading the way with its high-tech manufacturing process and high-integrity quality control measures. Maybe you already know that Photobio delivers consistently reliable, high-performance LED fixtures. Ever wonder how they get built? This video takes you through the manufacturing process and shows how we carefully ensure each fixtures performance and functionality. It’s how we deliver the most reliable LED fixture to you.

At Hydrofarm, we value third party testing on our high performance horticultural light fixtures. The performance of our Phantom Photobio LED fixture line has been verified and validated by the leader in independent testing, Independent Testing Laboratories, Inc. (ITL). ITL is truly an independent test lab. It does not have ties to lighting manufacturers or specifying bodies. ITL has a reputation of producing test reports of the highest quality and accuracy. We think it’s important to give our customers independently confirmed performance data.

Extraordinary performance. Extreme efficiency. Exacting design.

The PHOTOBIO•MX changes everything. We took a step back, evaluated all the fixtures on the market, and then set out to do things entirely different. The result is a 680W fixture delivering 15% more light to your canopy, using 35% less power than a 1000W DE fixture. Increase yields while driving down operational cost. The spectrums were developed in a private research laboratory to drive flower yield and elicit market desirable traits in short day resin producing crops.

PHOTOBIO•MX abandons the bar style concept in favor of a more efficient contiguous circuit board to deliver unparalleled PPFD uniformity to the canopy. Extensive thermal modeling and testing was conducted to ensure diodes remain well below operating temperature to maintain consistent light output and yields. 0-10V PHOTO•LOC Light Output Control allows you to precisely regulate the amount of light delivered to your plant canopy when paired with the available Autopilot PX Series controller.

PHOTOBIO•MX’s design is multilayer rack centric, providing the ability to double or triple your canopy square footage within your existing structures footprint. The driver is mounted below the fixture to maximize vertical grow space and has the ability to be remotely mounted.

PHOTOBIO•MX is designed for the serious horticultural professional looking to increase business sustainability by reducing power consumption while simultaneously improving crop performance and yield.

Get a jump start on the growing season with the Hot House with Seedling Heat Mat.

The Sunburst CMh system combines two of our most popular products—the Sunburst and Phantom CMh—into a single unit that brings the benefits of ceramic metal halide lighting to all applications, small and large, in the Sunburst’s compact, all-in-one format.

The Sunburst CMh has a built-in digital ballast designed specifically to run the 315W ceramic metal halide lamp, which in this system operates in the horizontal position. The reflector’s interior is 95% European hammertone aluminum and offers excellent uniformity and diffusion.

Choose between lamp color temperature options of 3100K and 4200K

Features:

Compact, all-in-one design
3100K or 4200K CMh Lamps available
Runs 315W ceramic metal halide lamp
95% European hammertone aluminum reflector interior

Hydrofarm Infinity Trays and Rolling Benches

The Active Air Heavy Duty Floor and Pedestal Fans provides superior air circulation with excellent durability. Each unit has been manufactured to ensure safety, reliability, and ease of use. Its motors are redesigned for stronger performance and are built for years of continuous use. They come equipped with industrial strength aluminum fan blades and operates at three speeds (Pedestal fans feature a smooth side-to-side oscillation). The heavy duty pedestal fans are adjustable in height and utilizes a strong heavy base for stability. The floor fans feature whisper-quiet operation and heavy-duty aluminum blades, they are ideal for recirculating lower-lying CO2 in the grow room up through the entire plant canopy or to nurture younger plants during the vegetative stage. Both styles are tough and will easily handle even the harshest grow room environments.

Hydrofarm's new Phantom CMh System combines our Phantom CMh reflector with the multi-voltage Phantom ceramic halide-specific digital ballast and the Philips double-jacketed Master Power CDM Elite Agro 315W T12 ceramic metal halide lamp.

Ceramic metal halide technology represents a major advancement in HID evolution. These lamps provide high-quality growth spectrum, amazing PAR per watt performance, and extra energy in the ultraviolet range—which all contribute to increased crop quality. Excellent maintenance of PAR/PPF over long lamp life means great value and far longer re-lamping intervals.

High efficiency along with high intensity and cutting-edge performance make the Phantom CMh System a smart choice.

• Excellent PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux)—1.95 µmol/s
• Longevity—90% PAR output at 8,000 hours and 20,000-hour average life
• Horticulturally-optimized spectrum and increased UV promote enhanced plant quality
• 3100K lamp included
• Double jacketed lamp does not require reflector safety lens
• Digital ballast features low frequency, square wave technology
• Multi-voltage: 120/208/240V
• Ideal for low ceilings/tents/vertical gardens
• 95% reflective European hammertone aluminum specular
• Optional cooling kit (PHR3150CKT) available (includes a lens system and two 6" flanges)
