Safety
Please read this manual thoroughly before assembling and installing the MIGRO grow lights system Please retain this manual for reference for the lifetime for the product
To minimise risk please switch the power off while installing and adjusting the MIGRO system. If the mains plug needs to be changed to suit your power socket only a qualified person should carry out this work, in accordance with your local codes.
The MIGRO system will operate on a supply voltage ranging from 100V to 277V AC
and from 50 to 60Hz frequency. Any other supply voltage will damage the
lighting system.
The grow light and the power cable are IP54 rated and cannot be used in a wet
area. The mains power plug is not IP rated for a wet area and should be
located in a dry area outside of the grow room. If the cable insulation or
glands are damaged switch off the system immediately and return to us for
repair.
Do not cover the grow light and restrict the airflow across the fixture under any circumstances. This will result in heat build up which may damage the grow light and/or cause a fire.
Do not put the grow light down on any surface when the light is on. The UV
radiation and radiated heat may damage the surface.
The UVB radiation from the light fixture can damage eyes and skin. Switch off
the UVB grow light when in the grow room. Any object within 90cm or 3ft of the
fixture in the direction of the radiation may be damaged over time (bleaching
them for example).
Damage during shipping
There is a chance of damage to the bulb during shipping but can you please double check some things before contacting us:
- Test the power is on in the socket you are using.
- Check the power lead is pushed firmly into the light fixture.
- With the power off please twist the fluorescent tube a little until it is about 90 Degrees to the angle it was pushed in.
- Power on and test.
- If it does not power up in a few seconds please power off, twist the tube a little and try again
If it still does not start up contact us and we will send a replacement tube as it was likely damaged during shipping
The fluorescent tube will ’rattle’
The fluorescent tube will make a rattling noise. This is due to a small amount
of metals in the tube.
These metals evaporate when powered up and emit the UV photons
The light output may be wavey on initial startup
The mercury ball may lodge in the filament at the end of the tube. If there is
waviness please wait for the fixture to warm up after a few minutes and tilt
the fixture from side to side to move the metals around the tube for even
illumination.
Installation instructions
Insert the T8 Fluorescent tube into the Light fixture and twist until secure
Attach the hanging clips to the light fixture, one on each end
Hang the fixture
Position the light fixture between 45cm and 60cm (18 – 24 inches) above the plant canopy
When to use it
- The aim is to stimulate the production of essential oils and increase potency. This is best achieved in the last 3 weeks of flowering.
- Set the control timer to switch the UVB light on for 1.5hours (45cm hanging height) to 2 hours (60cm hanging height) per light cycle
- If there is no noticeable plant damage (browning on leaf tips) then increase in 0.5 hour increments and check for damage again.
- Keep increasing to maximise the dosage until some browning or bleaching on the tips is observed than reduce the time by 0.5 hours
