LED Fyto-Panels

The LED Fyto-Panels are supplied in two sizes with external dimensions of 27 x 81 cm or 27 x 41 cm. The panels are delivered with a mechanical frame and a power supply placed on the top of the panel. Fyto-Panels LEDs can be mounted inside the growth chamber or in a user-designed building system.

An optional LED driver (link) is available for panel operation. In addition, the panels have connections that allow computer control. If the optional controller is not purchased, a PC is required for panel operation. Basic ON / OFF control and intensity adjustments are made by a PC program that is included in the price of the Fyto-Panel LED.

For enhanced control, LED Fyto-Panels can be supplied with the light controller or Light Studio software, which allow precise control of light mode, time, and intensity through user-defined protocols. In addition, special protocols can be provided for simulating daylight or cloudy skies. More information on the Light Controller and Light Studio software is available below and in the list of optional features and accessories on the left side of this page.

The panels are manufactured in three basic versions (A, B, C) and three "medium" versions (labeled 1/2) that differ in power input and maximum achievable intensity (For more information, click Versions in the menu on the left of this page).

Standard LED Fyto-Panels are available with Cool White and Far Red LEDs, and with optional Deep Red LEDs on some versions. In addition, a multi-color version of a Fyto-Panel LED is available that can be equipped with up to 7 different colors, each of which can be controlled separately in intensity. The standard multi-color option covers the entire spectrum for plant growth, including blue, green, red, dark red, white, far red, and infrared wavelengths. Other colors are available as options.

Light Studio software (for use with Fyto-Panels)
Light Studio software is a PC solution for precise control of light mode, intensity and time (from seconds to hours). You can control an unlimited number of logical light channels, consisting of up to 254 physical light devices: Fyto-Panels. Each logical channel can be configured independently. Light modulation is fully programmable, built from user-defined segments (continuous light and ramp). The software offers flexibility regarding the composition and timing of the protocol. There are only two predefined elements: constant element and ramp element. Then the protocol is built from these two. A user can also add light channels to multiple groups and control them as one item / with a protocol.

LC 200 light controller
LC 200 is a hardware independent solution for precise control of light characteristics and day / night simulation on LED Fyto-Panels. Provides precise control over light mode, intensity and time (from seconds to days). It can control up to 8 logical light channels, made up of up to 254 physical light devices - Fyto-Panels. Each logical light channel can be configured and controlled independently. The light controller supports modulation of light according to a predefined function (continuous, pulse, sine, triangle), user-programmed function (optional), or daylight simulation (optional). A PC is not required for the operation of this device.

User defined custom protocol
LC 200 Light Controller Optional Feature - When loaded into the light controller, this protocol can support up to 224 light phase intervals, each defined by light intensity and duration.

Daylight protocol
LC 200 Light Controller Optional Feature: When loaded into the light controller, the daylight protocol serves for simulations of cloudy skies - various adjustable parameters. It also includes an additional program for "cloud viewing" on a PC.

Additional protective goggles
Radiation safety glasses that protect against excessive LED radiation, equipped with side cover and protective filters. One pair of glasses is provided with the device free of charge.
