BalensBeam

OPTIMAL LIGHT UNIFORMITY AND DISTRIBUTION

Designed to deliver optimal light intensity and uniformity across and deep within the crop canopy, the ParFX™ BalensBeam is the ideal lighting solution for tall (high-wire) crops and/or applications where mounting heights are limited.

Product Details

The ParFX™ BalensBeam delivers optimized PAR light distribution in both the horizontal and vertical planes to ensure uniform light distribution across the surface of the crop and deep within the canopy.

The linear design of the ParFX™ BalensBeam is engineered to fit snugly beneath the track/truss for minimal shadowing on the crop. The luminaire’s robust, quality construction will ensure years of reliable operation within CEA environments.

†Accurate to ± 10%        *Digital dimming is based on RS485 standard. Compatible with with HLP protocol module enabled climate control systems. Luminaire can be dimmed to 20% of max light output
**Power Line Communication (PLC) dimming requires the purchase of P.L. Light Systems supplied transmitter system, with the gateway connecting to the customer’s climate computer via Modbus TCP/IP. Customer’s climate computer must utilize HLP.    ‡Scientifically extrapolated calculation for Par Maintenance of light is L90B5 at 36,000hrs (this means that the expected lifespan of LEDs is defined as ≤5% of luminaires can depreciate below the expected 90% PAR maintenance within 36,000 hours). Limited warranty for a period of five (5) years. from the date of invoice.

SpectrAL Options  

The ParFX™ BalensBeam offers multiple spectral recipes designed for optimal efficiencies.

A spectral graph showing flux versus wavelength with peaks in blue, green, and red regions; the highest peak is in the red spectrum near 660 nm, ideal for the BalensBeam high-wire crop LED grow light solution.

A spectral graph of the BalensBeam high-wire crop LED grow light solution displays peaks in blue (~450 nm), green-yellow (~550 nm), and a sharp peak in red (~660 nm). The y-axis is spectral flux; the x-axis is wavelength in nm.
