How Much Light is Too Much?
When you manufacture the most powerful grow light in the world, this is a question we often get. The short answer is your plants will tell you. The deeper answer is, well, it depends on what other factors in your environment are limiting your crop from fully utilizing all available light – watering schedule? Leaf surface temperature? Ambient CO2? Genetics?
For our cannabis clients, the question is actually ‘How much light can cannabis take?’ The answer to that question is, we really don’t know (click the link to listen to Dr. Bruce Bugbee’s thoughts on the matter).
On of our clients in Michigan is really pushing their genetics to find out, and after setting back-to-back, record-breaking harvests all throughout 2020, they still haven’t found the top! Follow this link for a brief summary of their results over 40 harvests.
The Infrared Spike
Ever notice how most spectral charts for grow lights stop around the far-red region? That’s because extending the chart into the infrared region would show one of the biggest problems with plasma-burning light sources… an enormous spike of radiative heat!
Savings Add Up (and so do yields)
Every year the wholesale price for flower and biomass is dropping. What’s more, the global cannabis market is consolidating even before widespread legalization has occured. Top that off with energy restrictions popping up in various markets aroud the world. With this in mind, it’s obvious that any licensed cultivator needs every edge they can get.
We know the biggest barrier to entry with an LED grow light system is the upfront cost. When you break down the operating cost figures as compared to an HPS system, reality sets in – can you afford not to go LED? See for yourself.

Accomplish More With Less
Because of its unprecedented power output and industry-leading coverage area, an Scorpio system will always require less fixtures to produce similar (or better) light levels as an HPS system or LED system of similar size. Depending on your goals you can opt to use less fixtures to produce the light levels you’re accustomed to, or you can ‘fill the grid’ with Scorpio luminaires and join the growing movement of pioneers setting harvest records under high-intensity lighting environments.
Unrivaled Intracanopy Illumination
One of the most significant problems facing every other LED model on the market is low output coupled with poor canopy penetration. The Scorpio is the most powerful AND efficient grow light in its class. Swiveling light bars achieve maximum canopy penetration via cross illumination to neighboring plots.

Precision Light Planning
If there’s one thing we’ve learned touring close to a thousand cultivation facilities around the world, it’s that every environment is unique with its own special requirements. When you work with Fohse, our partnership kicks off with a thourough review of your grow room plans and your goals. Our light planning team heads into our simulation software to develop a 100% custom configuration tailor-fit to the unique needs of your operation. We can even take it a step further and predict your cost of cooling, cost of electricity, and how much you’ll save owing an Scorpio system over time.

Bulbs Die Suddenly. LEDs slowly fade.
Our L90 and L70 figures come straight from the data sheets and stress-testing provided by our diode manufacturers. To put the L70 of the Scorpio into perspective, after switching to Fohse LED. Buy right, buy once. 110,000 hours of use the fixture’s output will have diminished to 1,960 μmol/s, which is still 17% MORE POWERFUL than a fresh-out-the-box 1000W DE HPS bulb. And just how long is 110,000 hours? If you run 12/12 cycles every day that’s 9,166 days … 1,309 weeks … 301 months … 25.1 years of runtime and your system will still outperform an HPS system.

Make a Friend Out of Heat
Unlike obsolete plasma grow lights the Scorpio has no massive ‘infrared spike’ hidden on the far ends of its spectrum, meaning drastically less heat radiating down on your canopy.

More Light, or Smaller Bills?
When you equip your facility with the most powerful AND efficient LED grow light available you have two paths forward available. First, you can configure your Scorpio system to maintain the light levels you’re used to, and thanks to the Scorpio’s top-rated efficacy you’ll produce that light at rockbottom prices. Second, you can configure your Scorpio system to maintain the electrical expenditures you’re used to, and with the Scorpio’s sky high efficacy that means you’ll produce far more light per watt than you’ve ever seen. Just wait and see what’s possible win a high-intensity light environment. Click here for a glimpse.

Heat Transfer
How does the Scorpio generate so much power yet remain relatively cool to the touch? The secret is in the engineering advantage harnessing the principles of conductive and convective heat transfer. We’ve packed over 7,000-in2 of surface area into the Scorpio’s custom heat sinks. This effectively dilutes and dissipates any heat across all that surface area via conductive heat transfer. This makes it much easier for the normal ambient airflow to wick that heat away from the fixture via convective heat transfer where it can be easily shuttled out of your grow environment.
Dustproof. Watertight.

Ingress Protection
Ingress Protection testing really puts our fixtures through the ringer : sandblasting, water spray, pressure washing, submersion, etc. Rest assured your Scorpio is well-protected from the hazards of your grow environment.
