Lumatek Apollo 2.8 µmol/J 550W - LED grow light for 120x120 cm

Lumatek Apollo 550W – Full Spectrum LED Light, 2.8 µmol/J

The Lumatek Apollo 550W is a high-performance Full Spectrum LED lamp designed for indoor cultivation. With a power consumption of 550 W, it achieves an efficiency of 2.8 µmol/J and a PPF of 1540 µmol/s. The model is primarily designed for a 120 × 120 cm area during the flowering stage, providing strong and even lighting without the need for an additional light source.

The Apollo 550W utilizes a full spectrum based on white LEDs and deep red, allowing a single lamp to be used throughout the entire growing cycle—from the vegetative stage through flowering. During the growth phase, the recommended coverage area can be as large as 150 × 150 cm.

The lamp also offers power adjustment in the range of 20–100% via 0–10 V control, a passive cooling system, and an IP65 rating. This makes it suitable for long-term operation in conditions typical of grow rooms.

Efficiency of 2.8 µmol/J and PPF of 1,540 µmol/s

The Lumatek Apollo 550W achieves an efficiency of 2.8 µmol/J. At an input power of 550 W (±5%) @ 230 V AC, it generates a photon flux (PPF) of 1540 µmol/s.

The combination of high efficiency and appropriately matched power makes the Apollo 550W ideal primarily for medium-sized growing areas, where it is important to achieve high light intensity while maintaining reasonable energy consumption.

Full Spectrum – One Lamp for the Entire Growing Cycle

The Lumatek Apollo 550W emits a full spectrum of light, including white light and deep red. This characteristic allows the lamp to be used during various stages of plant development.

The lighting can be used during both the vegetative growth and flowering stages. Therefore, there is no need to replace the lamp between successive stages of the cycle.

The ideal LED lamp for a 120 × 120 cm grow box

During the flowering stage , the recommended coverage area for the Apollo 550W is 1.2 × 1.2 m, or 120 × 120 cm. With a power output of 550 W and a PPF of 1,540 µmol/s, the lamp can serve as the primary light source for this area.

During the growth phase, when plants require less light intensity, the recommended coverage area can be up to 1.5 × 1.5 m (150 × 150 cm).

Power adjustment: 20–100%

The Apollo 550W supports light intensity adjustment in the range of 20–100% via 0–10 V control. This allows you to adjust the lamp’s power to the plant’s stage of development and current growing requirements.

Lower settings can be used during periods when the full 550 W output is not needed, while the output can be gradually increased during periods of intensive growth or flowering.

Passive cooling—quiet operation without fans

The Lumatek Apollo 550W uses passive cooling. The lamp does not require fans to dissipate heat, so it does not generate additional noise from an active cooling system during operation.

The absence of moving parts in the cooling system also reduces the number of mechanical components susceptible to wear during long operating cycles.

IP65 Protection Rating

The fixture has an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for the conditions found in plant-growing environments. Its design provides protection against dust and increased resistance to water contact.

This is particularly important in grow boxes and grow rooms, where humidity levels are elevated during operation.

LED lifespan: 50,000 hours (L90)

The declared lifespan of the LEDs used is 50,000 hours (L90). The L90 rating indicates the lumen maintenance parameter during long-term operation.

As a result, the Apollo 550W is designed for regular, extended operation—typical of lighting systems used in indoor cultivation.
