Description
Introducing the Lightpanel 500 V2. Our FGI patented LED made in the USA.
The perfect solution for serious growers who demand very high light levels. With an input power of only 450 watts, this LED panel is one of the most efficient on the market, producing up to 1500 umols/ms at 15” from canopy.
If you're looking for an LED panel that can produce serious crop yields, the Lightpanel 500 is the one for you. It's perfect for growers who demand the highest level of performance from their plants, and with its 4' width, it's perfect for long rows over grow trays.
Build
How did we do it? Most lights spread the LED diodes over a large area to maximize uniformity and many were designed to top out at 1000 umols of PPFD at about 12" from canopy.
The FGI Lightpanel 500 V2 takes a radically different approach.
This unit was designed with three side by side panels set with 2835 individual warm/neutral white LED diodes spaced in close proximity across each board.

You can also create custom on/off schedules and scenarios, such as sunrise/sunset, to further customize your lighting. Plus, the controller's Cloud Intelligence feature allows you to check in on your lights from anywhere.
Take your garden to the next level with more natural lighting using FGI's weatherEFX.
Learn about Cloud Intelligence and our Wifi Controller on our YouTube Channel here:
The WeatherEFX concept in science is based on the idea that changes in weather can have a significant impact on plant growth and development. The term was first coined by botanists studying the effect of leaf shading and competitive growth responses in subalpine herbs. They found that a reduction in sunlight due to clouds results in increased water status and CO2 uptake throughout the day. This allows plants to benefit from the periodic reduction of evaporative demand that results from natural periods of intermittent shade.
WeatherEFX has since been applied to other areas of research, including agriculture, where it is used to study how changes in precipitation and temperature can affect crop yields. It is also being used to investigate how extreme weather events, such as heat waves and drought.
The Flex is a top-quality grow light that won't break the bank? Check out the FGI Uniformity Pro grow light with IOT Control. This lightweight (just 30 lbs) and slim (3" deep) grow light is perfect for 4x4 spaces, and its cool design means it won't add too much heat to your grow room. The four push button dimming settings allow you to customize the light intensity to suit your plants' needs, while the red booster spectrum helps you grow larger, denser flowers. Super bright full spectrum 4000K diodes operate at an efficent 2.3umols/j plus 660nm red energy.
