TriPlane

REDEFINING LED GROW LIGHTING

As the first luminaire in the ParFXTM product family, the TriPlaneTM leverages the best of both LED and HID technologies—high light output, controlled distribution, optimized efficiencies and exceptional thermal management. Engineered to deliver multiple distribution angles and a light output of 2100 μmol/s*, the TriPlane sets a new standard for LED horticultural lighting as a true 1-for-1 replacement of the 1000W HID luminaire.

Product Details

Designed for maximum flexibility, the TriPlane’s LED modules can be adjusted independently in precise increments in either direction—allowing for highly customized light distribution, depending on the application.

The TriPlane is thermally and mechanically engineered for optimal thermal management—maximizing the lifetime of the luminaire, reducing heat stress on the plants and lowering HVAC loads.

The integrated fins on the top of the aluminum LED modules are engineered to dissipate heat through conduction for optimal passive thermal management. The integrated driver is housed in an aluminum enclosure that is separated from the two LED modules to allow for maximum airflow around the electronics compartment, further allowing for passive cooling.

A standard horticultural power connector, integrated driver and intuitive mounting brackets allow for a true plug-and-play retrofit of existing HID lighting installations in hybrid or standalone LED applications. The TriPlane can also be daisy-chained together, thus reducing electrical engineering costs.

*The TriPlane is designed as a 0-10V sourcing supply, and is compatible with most major environmental control systems that use 0-10V sinking protocols—including: Hoogendoorn, Priva, Argus Control Systems and Wadsworth Control Systems.

**Scientifically extrapolated calculation for Par Maintenance of light is L90B5 at 50,000hrs (this means that expected lifespan of LEDs is defined as ≤5% of luminaires can depreciate below the expected 90% PAR maintenance within 50,000 hours).

Warranty

Limited warranty for a period of five (5) years from date of invoice. Refer to relevant luminaire specification data sheet for expected LED lifetime data.

In the event that you are experiencing problems with your luminaire, please contact our customer service team to arrange for additional technical support or service repairs as required.

 

SpectrAL Options  

Designed to deliver optimum colour efficiencies, the TriPlane is available in multiple spectral recipes which can be used in standalone LED applications, or in combination with HID luminaires for hybrid applications:

 

LIGHT OUTPUT  

The TriPLight Output Imagelane is available in high light output (HO) or low light output (LO) models—depending on the light levels required for your application. For retrofit applications, the HO model would typically serve as a replacement for a 1000W HID luminaire and the LO model as a replacement for a 400W or 600W HID luminaire.
