All Q-Series Gen2 models are ready-to dimm. This means that you can equip the lights subsequently with a dimmer. This is simply plugged into the slot provided on the lamp.
M-Dimm
The simplest dimmer variant is the M-Dim. You connect the dimmer module to your light and can then dim each individual light via a magnetic switch. In addition, you can activate a sunrise simulation.
No communication via a network, simple to use, cost-effective and reliable.
Bluetooth Dimmer
The Bluetooth dimmer is also simply plugged into the light. You connect to your illumination system through your smart device (mobile phone, tablet, etc.). All lights can be addressed together(cluster) or each light separately. Functions such as simple dimming, daytime-dependent dimming, etc. can be set via the app. Easy to use and inexpensive installation for large systems.
ECO Setup
In the design of these setups, we have taken care to achieve the same yield as with corresponding sodium vapour lamps while minimising power consumption. An average 600W sodium vapour lamp emits about 840μmol/s. An area of e.g. 1.44m² is thus exposed to 580μmol/m²/s.
A SANlight Q4WL Gen2 emits 416μmol/s. If 2 units are used on the same area (1.44 m²), this system achieves an illumination density of 580 μmol/m²/s. The same yields with better quality can be expected
and you save about 50% on energy costs. In terms of handling, these systems are forgiving and easy, because the plants are not driven to their limits.
Eco Setup Overview
- Minimum power consumption, with similar yield to a high pressure sodium lamp
- Low acquisition costs
- Forgiving
- No dimmer needed
Expert Setup
The focus here is clearly on maximising harvest. While with a 600W sodium vapour lamp 840μmol/s photons illuminate your plants, with 2 Q5W units, a photon flux of 1025μmol/s is generated. This means that the illumination density is 25% higher. Nevertheless, even with the Expert setup, you can calculate an energy saving of about 35%. With appropriate gardening skills, the yields will be better both qualitatively and quantitatively. The intense light drives the plants to their limits and requires proper handling by the gardener. We recommend using this system with dimming, and only applying the
full performance of your system in the last few weeks.Expert Setup Overview
- Maximise your harvest in quality and quantity
- Higher acquisition costs
- Photosynthesis at the limit
- Dimmer recommended
