Lush Herbal Vador (2x and Regular) Detailed Description
Coverage
The coverage area is the same for both the regular version and the 2x version (it is the hanging height that will differ - see below).
- Efficiently covers a 3’ x 3’ area for vegetation
- Efficiently covers a 4’ x 4’ area for cloning
Power
When it comes to output, there is a considerable difference between the regular Herbal Vador and the Herbal Vador 2x.
What's the difference between the Herbal Vador and the Herbal Vador 2x?
The 2x uses two optical lenses, while the regular Herbal Vador uses only one. Single lens LEDs spread light out horizontally and blend colors faster. You get lower PAR values, but the ability to hang the light closer to your plants. This makes them ideal for tents or where distance from light to canopy may be an issue.
The two optical lenses in the 2x double the lux intensity by concentrating light down on your plants. A higher intensity will provide more light further away from the fixture. You get higher PAR values, but the 2x version requires more distance from the canopy for intensity to decrease to natural levels before reaching your plants.
The following tables shows the output you can expect at different hanging heights, in both lumen and umoles (PAR).

The Lush Lighting Herbal Vador is designed specifically for cloning and vegetating green leaf plants
It is a smaller version of the Vegetator. Each 180 watt fixture produces 500% more overall light and 10% more energetic light than a 450 watt, 8 lamp T5 HO fluorescent fixture.
The Herbal Vador's unique blend of light spectra is designed to speed up the growth rate of plants in the vegetative stage. The power and penetrating ability of the energized photons from this light will spring new life into your plants and the increase in strength and vigor under the Herbal Vador occurs immediately.
Lush Lighting have enhanced the available photons for phycoerythrin and phycocyanin so that they can collect and pass more light energy to the center of the chlorophyll pair. You will see an increase in the speed and quality of young plants under this light.


Lush Lighting will always give you healthier crops over HPS. From cloning through growing and all the way to the end of flowering, this light has what your plants need!
Near UV light is used to stimulate resin production while helping boost plants’ natural immune system. Infrared light is used to penetrate deep into the plant and boost chlorophyll fluorescence so that no light is wasted.
Plants have had millions of years to adapt to their environment, so providing your garden with the exact energy it needs will reward you with a bigger, healthier and more nutritious crop!
Not only does the Herbal Vador give you better crops, and thus more profit, it also costs far less to operate. Electricity costs are lower and heat output is much lower.

Lush Lighting products have a low heat signature, high efficiency rating and are built to last a decade. They build some of the best agricultural grow lights on the market. LED is safer and the results will literally pay for themselves.
