LUMII BLACK² with 2 Ballasts and 2 x 1.8m Kettle Plug Extensions
The LUMII BLACK² 720 LED KIT includes 2 x Lumii Black 600w Electronic Ballasts with the LUMII BLACK² Fixture, for a maximum PPF output of 2596 µmol/s when powered at 960 W (by two ballasts each drawing 480 W).
By using only one of the two Ballasts, the user can operate this grow light at at 720 W, where the PPF is 1870 µmol/s.
The fixture is made up of two interlocking halves, each having its own power input socket, and it can be hung either as a single interlocked 6-bar fixture or as 2 separate 3-bar fixtures. Two sets of 2 x Rope Ratchets are included with this fixture. Should you require an additional 2 sets of 2 Rope Ratchets - CLICK HERE. ( Fixture has 8 hanging eyelets, if split into 2 sections, one on each corner )
The 6-bar fixture is ideally suited to cover a growing area of 1.5 m x 1.5 m, whereas 2 separate 3-bar fixtures can cover a growing area up to 25 % larger.
Whether hung separately or interlocked, the 2 half-fixtures can be powered by a single LUMii BLACK 600 W Electronic Ballast using the splitter lead provided.
Alternatively, each half fixture can be powered by its own LUMii BLACK 600 W Electronic Ballast. Using 2 ballasts allows the maximum light output of the fixture/s to be increased by at least 25 %.
A single ballast can be mounted on the 6-bar fixture, using brackets provided, but if the fixture is hung as 3-bar fixtures, or if 2 ballasts are used, they must be positioned remotely. The open construction of the fixture/s and the very low heat output assist airflow and heat management. Producing full spectrum light ideal for both growth and bloom, the LUMii BLACK² 720/960 LED will give impressive results.

FAQs:
Q: Why should I choose LED lighting rather than HID lighting?
A: The advantages of LED are clear. There is little heat output from LED lights, and so heat management is much simpler. Also, the power consumed relative to the light output is far less with an LED fixture than with a HID lamp. With some types of LED light, the spectrum is adjustable to suit either grow or bloom, which is never the case with HID lamps. Other types of LED, such as the LUMii BLACK² 720/960 LED, give full spectrum light suited to both grow and bloom stages, which is not always the case with HID lamps. An LED Fixture gives a much more even spread of light across the canopy, whereas HID lighting must be reflected from a narrow central source the lamp.
Q: Should I hang my LUMii BLACK² 720/960 LED as a 6-bar fixture, or as two 3-bar fixtures? Which is best?
A: This depends upon your grow operation. If you're growing in a 1.5m x 1.5m tent, then it would be best to hang it as a 6-bar fixture. If you have a large grow room, it would be better to set up an array of 3-bar fixtures hung no more than 50cm apart, to achieve maximum coverage. We recommend that you make a sketch plan of your growing area, and then find the most economical way to hang LUMii BLACK² 720/960 LEDs to light it.
Q: Is it better to use one or two ballasts? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
A: This also depends upon your grow, and how you wish to manage it.
If you use two ballasts, obviously you get mor...
