Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED Bar 470mm (18.5") 22w. The Arcadia Reptile Jungle Dawn LED BAR is sleek, bold, powerful, and able to deliver the energy that is needed to allow plants to grow by increasing visible light levels within terraria. This clever system uses the very latest 'High Output' LED diodes to create an almighty 130+ lumens per watt. Use a bar on top of a mesh or fit a bar inside of a vivarium. LED configuration: The configuration of an LEDs within a lamp is just as important as its spectrum and output in terms of potential plant growth and illuminated area. As with all life, plants are reliant on the quantity and quality of energy that is available to them via a light source. The greater the quantity of light, and over a wide enough area equates to better potential results. A light source of any type can only produce a certain number of photons (parcels/packages of energy) as 'total light output'. As light travels forwards, it starts to spread out to cover a greater area. The further away a lamp is placed, the greater the area is that will be covered with light. This is a sharing or spreading of energy over a target, therefore the measured energy within light becomes weaker the further away a lamp is from the target. To ensure that we have the maximum amount of light possible entering an enclosure we must use enough diodes, placed at the correct distance from each other and with a suitable spectrum, colour and lumen output. A reduction in the number of diodes, regardless of rated wattage can equate to 'zoning', areas that are very bright and areas that are darker. We must ensure that all light sources project a 'flood', this provides better results and reduces any risk of ocular damage associated with point source lamps. Specifications: Lamp 22w, length 470mm, number of LED's 108, Lumens 3447lm. Light output: distance 100mm kilolux 38.26, PAR 660, 150mm kilolux 26.54, PAR 448, 300mm kilolux 10.1, PAR 155, 375mm kilolux 7.6, PAR 108, 450mm kilolux 5.58, PAR 62. (Diagnostic meters PUR 68% CRI 85. Spectra; Everfine (HAAS-1200). Light meter used, Iso-Tech ILM 1335. PAR meter used, Apogee MQ-200. Measurements taken with a power supply at 244.6v 49.9HTZ.) Connectivity: Easily link with other LED BARs or with ProT5 UV-B system, reducing the number of wall sockets required per enclosure. Each Unit arrives with a power cable with integrated switch, fittings kit and a 'Link' cable. LED BAR and ProT5 are perfect partners, both working hard to fill the UV and visible spectrum. With quality and safety at its core. Suitable for vivariums 450mm in length.
