1. Product Details

0 - 180 degree foldable

OSRAM top bin diodes

Daisy-chain connectors UL listed and IP65 rating

Ratchet ropes with metal rollers

Built-in ultra efficient drivers using Japan core components

2. Spectrum and Efficacy

  • 3200K CCT
  •  660W real power
  • 2.4 μmol/J efficacy
  • 1742 μmol/J PPF

The specially deployed full spectrum fills the negligence of the main photoreceptors and pigments outside the 660nm and 450nm range, and it is suitable for reproduction to aging in indoor environments. The overall color temperature of FSM’s full spectrum is controlled at 3200K, which increases the radiant energy of red light at 660nm wavelength in white light. It provides a beautiful working environment and a more realistic color reproduction degree at a CRI level of 85.

4. Dimming Total Control

Option 1: 0-10V dimming cords, it can work with any 0-10V dimming controller.

Compatible with most lighting controllers, including Grower’s Choice Master Lighting Controller.

Option 2: Your controller needs a M19 connector cord and it works with the light directly.

Alternatively if your master controller uses a RJ12/RJ14 interface, we can provide a
M16xRJ14 adapter cord.

  1. Leave at least one inch of space between the fixture and the mounting area for optimum performance and life span.
  2. Wear protective eyewear when looking directly at the diodes to prevent eye damage.
  3. Only handle, clean, or move fixture when it’s unplugged or cool.
  4. Keep the light structure free of dust, debris, or buildup to ensure optimum performance and life span.
  5. The diodes are easily damaged so do not touch or apply force.
  6. Don’t use cloth or chemicals to clean the diodes so they don’t scratch or break. Use low-pressure air or water to remove dust and debris.

8. Installation

1 . Pendant

1.1. Install the steel cables on the beam (picture 1)

1.2. Use the steel cables to adjust the mounting height of the fixture (picture 2)

2. Open the folded light (if applicable)

open the folder light

3. Fix the steel cable in the triangle hook on the light

fix the steel cable

9. Daisy Chaining & Breaker Load Planning

To save space and use only one outlet to run several lamps you can “daisy chain” to minimize the number of cords in your space. If you plan to use a controller, connect the connections from the controller to the fixture and then connect the Daisy Chain Controller Cable from fixture to fixture.

– up to 2 VB8 fixtures may be connected in a series at 120V AC
– up to 5 VB8 fixtures may be connected in a series at 277V AC

277V

70% Max Load for Circuit Breakers, Limit is due to Inrush Current in High End Commercial LED fixtures

10. VB8 Limited Warranty

This limited warranty does not cover improper installation or removal, or damage resulting from an improper installation or removal that was not performed by a licensed electrician, deterioration or malfunction resulting from any alteration, modification, unauthorized attempted repair, improper or unreasonable use or maintenance, misuse, accident or neglect. Customers are responsible for proper circuit breakers and proper wiring for their own protection.
