Ensuring Safety and Compliance
Power Source Requirements
Before beginning the installation, verify that your power source meets the electrical requirements of the FloraFlex 700W LED Grow Light. This step is crucial to prevent electrical hazards and ensure the longevity of your equipment. The light operates on 120-277V AC, 50/60Hz, and consumes 700W of power.
Adhering to Local Codes
Check your local code restrictions to ensure your installation is compliant. Local regulations may have additional safety measures that you must follow to secure a safe and legal setup.
Reading and Understanding Instructions
Thoroughly read all instructions before proceeding with the installation. This guide provides detailed steps to help you install and use your grow light correctly. If you have any doubts or lack experience, seek professional assistance from a qualified, trained, and licensed electrician. Incorrect installation will void your warranty and could lead to dangerous situations.
Avoiding Hazardous Locations
Do not install the grow light in potentially hazardous locations, including areas prone to flammable, explosive, or chemical-laden atmospheres. Wet environments are also unsuitable for this equipment.
Safe Handling of Power Cords
Ensure that power cords are not covered by rugs or other fabric materials. This can lead to overheating and pose a fire risk. Always keep cords visible and unobstructed.
Maintaining Safety Precautions
Exercise caution during the installation, operation, and maintenance of your FloraFlex LED Grow Light. Do not block or tamper with the equipment while it is in operation, as this can cause electric shocks, fire, or damage to the product.
Step-by-Step Light Assembly
Positioning the Diode Bars
- Locate the four end piece diode bars, each featuring four screws on the back. These bars should be placed in slots #1, #2, #7, and #8.
- Place the remaining four diode bars, each with two screws, into slots #3, #4, #5, and #6.
Aligning and Securing the Structure Bars
- Align the two structure bars with the diode bars, ensuring each screw fits through the corresponding hole on the structure bar.
- Use the wing nuts provided in the hardware bag to securely tighten the bars. This step ensures a stable and secure light fixture.
Driver Installation for Power Efficiency
Standard Driver Installation
- Flip the driver upside down and attach one bracket to it.
- Slide the bracket into the openings on the structure bar and lock it into place with the second bracket.
- Slightly lift the light to screw the driver to the bracket, ensuring it is securely fastened with the second bracket screw.
- For added security, use the bracket screws to fasten the driver while the light is suspended.
Connecting the Quick Connect Diode Bar Cable
- Connect the Quick Connect Diode bar cable to the diode bars and driver.
- Ensure all connections are secure before powering the device to prevent any electrical issues.
Alternative Unistrut Driver Installation
- Insert the spring nuts into the unistrut and flip the driver upside down.
- Align the screw holes on the driver with the spring nut holes and secure with plastic knob screws.
- Double-check all connections for security before powering the device.
Optimizing Light Distribution and Coverage
The FloraFlex 700W LED Grow Light features an 8-bar design that ensures optimal light distribution across your grow space. Here’s how to maximize its effectiveness:
Veg and Bloom Coverage
- Vegetative Coverage: The light covers a 5' x 5' area, providing ample illumination for the vegetative stage of your plants.
- Bloom Coverage: For the flowering stage, the light efficiently covers a 4' x 4' area, delivering the necessary intensity for blooming plants.
Mounting Height and Light Distribution
- Mounting Height: Install the light at a height of 12" to 24" above the canopy. This range ensures the best light penetration and distribution.
