Lumatek 50W Far-Red LED Bar - individual LED strip with red light, 100 cm

Lumatek 50W Far Red LED Bar 730 nm – an additional LED bar for Lumatek Zeus lamps

The Lumatek 50W Far Red LED Bar is a specialized LED bar that emits 730 nm far-red light, designed to supplement the main lighting in professional indoor cultivation setups. It is compatible with Lumatek Zeus series lamps, extending their standard spectrum to include the far-red range.

The bar draws 50 W, achieves a PPF of 110 µmol/s, and has an efficiency of 2.2 µmol/J. Far-red light can be used for more advanced photoperiod management, to support flowering processes, and to simulate the spectral changes that occur toward the end of a natural day.

Thanks to its slim , 100-cm-long design, the bar can be easily integrated into the main lighting system. Its IP65 rating allows it to be used in conditions typical of grow rooms.

Far Red 730 nm – A Complement to the Basic LED Spectrum

The most important feature of the Lumatek Far Red LED Bar is its emission of light at a wavelength of 730 nm. This falls within the far-red (Far Red) range, which is used to supplement the basic lighting employed during plant cultivation.

Far Red light affects the plant’s phytochrome system, which plays a role in photoperiod-related reactions, among other things. As a result, the 730 nm wavelength can be used in more advanced lighting strategies during the flowering phase.

The light bar is not intended to replace the main LED lamp—its primary purpose is to expand the available spectrum to include Far Red.

Simulation of light changes during sunset

Under natural conditions, the proportions of individual wavelengths change as the sun sets. The 730 nm Far Red light can be used as part of a lighting system designed to simulate the final part of the natural light cycle.

This allows for more precise management of the light–dark cycle than with a standard system that operates solely by instantly turning the main lamp on and off.

Far Red as Support During the Flowering Phase

The Lumatek 50W Far Red LED Bar was designed primarily for more advanced lighting configurations during the flowering phase. The 730 nm wavelength can influence plants’ photomorphogenic responses related to light and darkness perception.

When combined with a properly selected main spectrum, red and Far Red light can be used to influence plants’ photosynthetic and photomorphogenic responses. However, the effects depend on the species, stage of development, intensity, and the method and duration of supplemental light application.

Complement to Lumatek Zeus Lamps

The light bar is designed for use as an additional light source in systems utilizing Lumatek Zeus lamps. It can supplement the primary spectrum of large LED fixtures and expand the configuration options for the lighting system.

This solution is particularly well-suited for users who already own a high-performance Full Spectrum lamp and, rather than replacing the entire lighting system, wish to add dedicated 730 nm Far Red light to it.

50 W power, PPF 110 µmol/s, and efficiency of 2.2 µmol/J

The Lumatek Far Red LED Bar draws 50 W and generates a PPF of 110 µmol/s. The bar’s efficiency is 2.2 µmol/J.

These specifications were chosen with the intention of using the device as a supplementary light source that works in conjunction with the main LED system.

Compact design, 100 cm long

The bar measures 1000 × 35 × 38 mm, allowing it to be placed next to the main lighting system without taking up much additional space.

Weighing approximately 1 kg, it is easy to install in grow boxes and larger grow rooms. The light bar can operate in both horizontal and vertical orientations, allowing its position to be adjusted to a specific lighting configuration.

IP65 Protection Rating

The Lumatek 50W Far Red LED Bar has an IP65 protection rating. The design is therefore protected against dust and increased exposure to water, making it suitable for the conditions found in plant cultivation rooms.

The permissible operating temperature range is 0–40°C.

Long service life and a 3-year warranty

The Lumatek Far Red LED Bar has a declared service life of over 60,000 hours. The manufacturer provides a 3-year warranty on the device.

The bar is also CE and RoHS certified.

Technical Specifications for the Lumatek 50W Far Red LED Bar

FAQ – Lumatek 50W Far Red LED Bar

What is the Lumatek Far Red LED Bar used for?

The bar serves as an additional source of 730 nm Far Red light. It can supplement the main LED lighting during the flowering stage and be used for more advanced management of the plants’ light cycle.

What wavelength does the Lumatek Far Red bar emit?

The bar emits far-red light with a wavelength of 730 nm.

Does the Lumatek Far Red 50W replace the main LED light?

That is not its primary purpose. The Far Red LED Bar is designed primarily as supplemental lighting to extend the spectrum of the main lamp to include the 730 nm range.

Is the bar compatible with Lumatek Zeus lights?

Yes. The Lumatek Far Red LED Bar can be used as an additional light source in setups that utilize LED lights from the Lumatek Zeus series.

Can the Far Red 730 nm be used during the flowering stage?

Yes. Far-red light is used in advanced lighting systems during the flowering phase and to control photoperiod-related plant responses.

Can 730 nm light be used to simulate sunset?

Yes. Far Red can be part of a lighting program designed to simulate the spectral changes that occur at the end of a natural day.

Is 730 nm Far Red the same as the Emerson effect?

These are not the same concepts. The Emerson effect refers to the increased photosynthetic response observed when specific ranges of red and far-red light are used simultaneously. The 730 nm light itself is referred to as Far Red.

What is the power of the Lumatek Far Red LED Bar?

The bar has a power output of 50 W, a PPF of 110 µmol/s, and an efficiency of 2.2 µmol/J.

Is the bar moisture-resistant?

Yes. The device has an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for use in conditions typical of indoor cultivation.

What is the lifespan of the Lumatek Far Red LED Bar?
