ADJUSTING THE LIGHT OUTPUT
The Highland power supply was designed to be adjustable from 24 watts to
30 watts. By default, the Highland is set on the most powerful setting. While
we highly recommend keeping the setting at the maximum, there are many
situations where lowering the amount of power is necessary. Below are the
steps on how to adjust the power output on the Highland.
1. Remove the Highland from the track rail.
2. Locate and remove the two screens on the power supply cover.
3. Remove the power supply cover by pressing in on the flap.
4. Locate the DIP switches. By default, both will be up or ON.
5. Turn off the switches to lower the power. A DIP switch table is
provided on the fixture.
6. Replace the cover and screws; reinstall the Highland.
DETERMINING THE DISTANCE AND COVERAGE
Finding the perfect distance between the Highland and your plant can be a
challenge. The following pages will give you information on how far the
Highland should be from your plants. This information is assuming the
Highland is set at the maximum power.
Highlands are made with either a 30- or 60-degree reflector. This determines
how far the light can travel. A 30-degree reflector provides a beam angle that
is narrow and more focused. You can use Highlands with a 30-degree reflector
up to 6 foot away, providing you with a circle of light approximately 33 inches
in diameter. A 60-degree reflector provides a beam angle that is wider, less
focused light. You can use Highlands with a 60-degree reflector up to 4 ½ feet
away, providing you with a circle of light approximately 54 inches in
diameter.
Need more light? Not a problem! When you point two Highlands in the same
place, the amount of light doubles. For example, a Highland with a 30-degree
reflector located 4 feet away would provide a circle of light approximately 22
inches in diameter and provide moderate light. Using 2 Highlands pointed at
the same spot would increase the light from moderate to high light.
