VertiMax Maximum space and yield efficiency

The VertiMax is a high-output LED horticultural luminaire that delivers optimal performance in single- and multi-tier applications. With 1800 µmol/s of PAR and a system efficacy of 2.8 µmol/J from a 640W panel, it lights the full width and length of a grow rack for maximum crop quality and yield in sole-source applications.

Why VertiMax

High output in an ultra-low-profile panel

The VertiMax lights an entire grow rack uniformly in a fixture just 3.07 inches deep, so vertical growers get sole-source performance without giving up tier height.

Built for multi-tier racks

A large, square panel lights the full width and length of a grow shelf for single- and multi-tier vertical farming.

High output, high efficiency

1800 µmol/s of PAR at 2.8 µmol/J from a 640W luminaire, for strong performance and real energy savings.

Low profile, low heat

At just 3.07 inches deep and with low radiant heat output, the VertiMax fits tight tier spacing and sits close to the crop without adding heat load.

Full spectrum and dimmable

Optimal full-spectrum output with 1-10V remote dimming that works with most major climate control systems.

Uniform light across the rack

The VertiMax is designed to deliver light uniformly across the entire width and length of the grow rack, so every plant on the shelf gets the same PAR. That even coverage is what enables maximum crop quality and yield in sole-source lighting applications where the fixture is the only light source.

Full spectrum and easy to integrate

The VertiMax offers a balanced, broad spectrum ideal for all stages of crop growth, with the visual comfort growers want in sole-source rooms.

An integrated driver reduces installation time and expense, and the fixture is plug-and-play and daisy-chainable. It is designed as a 1-10V sourcing supply and is compatible with most major environmental control systems that use 0-10V sinking protocols, so you can dim and schedule it from the controller you already run.

Values accurate to plus or minus 10 percent. The VertiMax is a 1-10V sourcing supply, compatible with most major control systems that use 0-10V sinking protocols. L90B5 at 50,000 hours means no more than 5 percent of luminaires are expected to fall below 90 percent PAR maintenance within 50,000 hours.

VertiMax FAQ

VertiMax questions, answered

What is the VertiMax used for?

The VertiMax is a high-output LED panel for single- and multi-tier vertical farming. It is designed for sole-source lighting on grow racks, where it is the only light source for the crop.

Why does the low profile matter?

At just 3.07 inches deep, the VertiMax fits the tight spacing between shelves in a vertical rack, leaving more room for the crop and letting you fit more tiers into the same height.

Can the VertiMax be dimmed?

Yes. The VertiMax is a 1-10V sourcing supply and is compatible with most major environmental control systems that use 0-10V sinking protocols, so you can dim and schedule it remotely.

What spectrum does it produce?

The VertiMax produces an optimal full spectrum tuned for sole-source growing across a range of crops.
