HydroExchange acknowledges the significant challenge of frequent power interruptions in South Africa and the adverse effects they have on horticultural goals. To address this issue, we have developed an affordable solution aimed at mitigating the impact of such interruptions, providing a valuable preventative measure against potential problems stemming from unreliable power sources.
Our innovative system operates on battery power, delivering 20 to 80 watts of full-spectrum light emitted from highly effective and efficient Samsung 301B diodes, housed in separate 20W fixtures. These fixtures can be connected to a car or other battery using a charger (charger/battery not included), enabling the operation of 1 to 4 lights via a local Wi-Fi network controlled by a smart device.
During load-shedding events, our HE-104 lights remain operational according to the pre-set schedule, ensuring uninterrupted growth for your plants. Each light fixture, equipped with newly designed proprietary supercool heat sinks, measures 315mm x 110mm x 35mm and provides 20 watts of power at 3500K, facilitating versatile placement with hanging hooks.
