The VIPARSPECTRA XS Series LED grow lights are high-efficiency horticultural lighting solutions designed for indoor plant cultivation. This series includes the XS1500, XS2000, and XS4000 models, each tailored to different grow space requirements and power outputs.
Function Description:
These LED grow lights are designed to provide optimal light spectrum and intensity for all stages of plant growth, from seedlings to flowering. They serve as a powerful and energy-efficient alternative to traditional HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting systems. The lights feature a dimmable function, allowing users to adjust the brightness from 5% to 100% to suit the specific needs of their plants at various growth phases. The inclusion of IR (Infrared) LEDs, which appear dim, is intentional and not a fault, as infrared light plays a crucial role in plant development. The lights are intended for indoor use only and are not waterproof, emphasizing the need for protection from dampness, dust, and water.

Usage Features:
- Installation: The lights are designed for easy installation using spring hooks and carabiners to hang them from a stable bracket. The power cord connects directly to the light, and the dimmer knob is used to adjust brightness.
- Dimmable Knob: A key feature is the dimmer knob, which allows for precise control of light intensity from 5% to 100%. This enables growers to customize the light output for different growth stages and plant types. Note that the dimmer switch cannot turn the light completely off; a minimum of 5% brightness is maintained.
- Recommended Usage Schedule: The manual provides detailed suggestions for light height (above plants' canopy), using hours, and brightness settings for different growth stages:
- 3-5 Days Acclimation Period: 24"-38" height, 10 on / 14 off hours, 40% brightness.
- Seedlings/Young Vegetative: 20"-34" height (XS1500: 20"-24", XS2000: 26"-30", XS4000: 30"-34"), 12 on / 12 off hours, 60% brightness.
- Vegetative Stage: 16"-30" height (XS1500: 16"-20", XS2000: 22"-26", XS4000: 26"-30"), 18 on / 6 off hours, 100% brightness.
- Flowering Stage: 12"-26" height (XS1500: 12"-16", XS2000: 18"-22", XS4000: 22"-26"), 12 on / 12 off hours, 100% brightness.
- Safety Information:
- Avoid direct eye contact with LED bulbs when the light is operating due to potentially hazardous optical radiation.
- Maintain minimum distances: 4 inches (10cm) between adjacent lighting equipment and 40 inches (100cm) between lighting equipment and combustible materials (walls, ceilings, etc.) to prevent overheating.
- Ensure the ambient temperature of the installed environment does not exceed 104°F (40°C) to ensure safe operation. Mechanical ventilation or a cooling system may be required.
- Cords must be routed safely: not concealed, not above suspended ceilings, not permanently affixed, protected from physical damage, visible over their length, and used within their rated ampacity.
- Installation should be performed by qualified personnel, especially for horticultural lighting structures, and subject to approval by the authority having jurisdiction.
- Ensure adequate air circulation and avoid pushing objects into ventilation openings.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: To clean the light and its components, first shut off the light and unplug the power cord. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the light, avoiding moisture in any openings.
