INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
The dimmer supports 10-100% independent and group dimming (up to 50 units).
-
For an independent device, ensure that the switch is in the MASTER mode.
-
For the group dimming, ensure that the main device is in the MASTER mode,
and the rest of the devices are in the SLAVE mode.
The device in any position in the same group can be set as the MASTER,just make sure that the other connected devices are in SLAVE mode
-
For to connect the centralized controller, ensure the controller has the RJ14 port and the luminaires in slave mode.
PLANTING TIPS
- Except for the light, the temperature, humidity, and airflow will also influence photosynthesis and transpiration.
- 68-75’F (20-24•c) ambient temperature, 40%-60% humidity, sufficient airflow, and a suitable PH value (6-6.5) are favorable for most plants’ growth. Adequate Calcium and Magnesium are also helpful.

Hanging Height, Brightness, ON/OFF time Suggestions 
The above suggestions are for reference only, to optimize your hanging height, please adjust according to the following conditions:
- The PPFD requirement of the plants.
- The growing area (e.g. 2′ x 2′) needs to be illuminated.
- Measure the temperature of the plant canopy not to exceed the ambient temperature.
How much light to maximize the yield
The net photosynthesis of plants will reach the light saturation points and
the value varies for different plants. When the PPFD levels exceed the light
saturation point, it may inhibit plant growth or require extra CO2, meantime
waste energy and generate more heat by the fixture.
The PPFD levels @500-1000 µmol/m2/s are suitable for most plants, but still recommended you understanding the light saturation point of your plants in advance, then try to make your plants obtain the required PPFD level to optimize your yield, low PPFD levels will reduce your yield.
MAINTENANCE
- The Series MECH is almost no maintenance required, appropriate clean of the heatsink and LED surface will ensure its performance of cooling and light output. Please ensure to turn off the luminaire and unplug the power cord before clean. Do not use water, the luminaire is IP20 rated. Use a small power air blower to clean the illumination surface to avoid damage or scratch the conformal coating.
- The LED attenuation and the luminaire’s lifetime are affected by heat directly. Please always ensure that the luminaire obtains adequate airflow in its working environment to avoid heat accumulation.
- Leave at least 2″ (5 cm) clearance to the luminaire and control the ambient temperature below 95°F (35°C) could effectively maintain its performance and service time.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read this manual carefully before installation and save it for future reference.
The Series MECH working under 100-277V AC, 50/60Hz. The improper voltage will damage the luminaire. 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. (We suggest using the plug adapter) Series MECH is built with l 00-277V AC 1 0A, S0/60Hz AC OUTPUT Socket, please do not touch or plug /unplug when the power Is on. Always unplug the power cord before installation or servicing. Do not change the structure or any components to ensure safety. The luminaire is IP20 rated (not waterproof). The Series MECH is built with high efficient passive cooling heatsink, please keep the airflow around the luminaire freely. Do not cover the luminaire or restrict the airflow across the heatsink under any circumstances to avoid heat accumulation.
Do not cover the illumination surface when the luminaire is working, the light intensity and heat radiation may damage the luminaire or object surface and/or cause a fire. Do not put upsidedown on any surface when the luminaire is working, it will affect the heat dissipation from the heatsink may damage the luminaire or the object’s surface and/or cause a fire. Do not touch the luminaire during operation, wait 30 minutes to let it cool down. Do not stare at the illumination surface during the luminaire is working to avoid harm to your eyes
QA SUPPORT
Q: Why does the switch only control the lamp itself and not the entire daisy chain?
A: To shut down the entire daisy chain, we can use an additional timer or cut off the power supply of the primary luminaire. But with our design, only need to keep the power supply of the primary lamp, it can flexibly control the on/off of any device in this daisy chain, because sometimes we may need to keep certain lamps or devices on.
Q: Why using high-power red LED instead of a mid-power version, and how to distinguish?
A: The high-power version is more efficient to raise the red wavelength than mid-power, that is why we can see some luminaires using many mid-power red LEDs but still low red wavelength. The High-power version is usually with a ball head, but the mid-power version does not. The price of the high-power version is several times that mid-power version.
