Built
Spider farmer claims to use Samsung’s mid-power LED diodes LM301B which has a power rating of 0.2 W/3 V. The luminous flux of these diodes is 38.8 lm @ 65 mA with luminous efficacy of 220 lm/W. Samsung is one of the leaders in the horticultural grow light market and manufactures superior LEDs products that emit a full spectrum including infrared light for optimal plant growth. The updated and newer models of these grow lights also feature a dimmer knob and daisy chain capability. The first generation did not feature a daisy chain, and the dimmer needed to be adjusted from underneath the driver. The whole board of light is a water/moisture-proof aluminum sink that prevents over-heating.

Spider Farmer Garden Light Series
