Commercial 1600 watt spectrum controllable LED grow light features 4 independent channels from 1,800K to 18,000K, delivering 4,336 PPF across 5x5 footprint with 60 preset spectrums and waterproof design.

4 independently controllable channels spanning 1,800K to 18,000K, giving you precise spectrum manipulation throughout the entire lifecycle.

The Tarantula Borg EVO 1600 offers  4 independent channels spanning 1,800K to 18,000K, giving you complete control over your spectral output. This is a commercial-grade fixture built for growers who understand that spectrum manipulation drives quality, yield, and finishing time.

The 10 bar design delivers uniform intensity across 4' x 4' or 5' x 5' canopies, the IP66 waterproof rating protects your investment in high humidity flower rooms, and the 60 preset spectrums let you dial in proven recipes for everything from seedlings to late flower without guesswork.

When you need spectrum precision for commercial production, vertical racks, or medical gardens where cannabinoid profiles matter, this is the grow light that gives you control.

Is the Tarantula Borg EVO 1600 Energy Efficient?

Yes. The verified 2.71 µmol/J system efficacy when running all 4 channels at 100% puts this fixture in the top tier of commercial grow lights, and the individual channel efficiencies tell an even better story.

The red channel achieves 3.21 µmol/J, cool white delivers 3.0 µmol/J, and warm white runs at 2.62 µmol/J. Standard 1000W DE HPS fixtures deliver 1.7 µmol/J, which means you get 59% more usable plant light per watt with the Tarantula Borg EVO 1600 at full power. 

The real efficiency advantage comes from channel control: during veg, you can run primarily cool white at 3.0 µmol/J efficiency while keeping other channels off, significantly reducing power consumption compared to full-spectrum fixtures running all wavelengths.

FAQs

How many watts do I need for my grow space?

The wattage depends on the size of your grow tent or room. A general guideline is 30-50 watts per square foot for high-light plants like cannabis. For example, a 2x2 ft area may need 100-200W, while a 4x4 ft area may require 400-600W for optimal coverage.

What is the difference between full-spectrum and red/blue LED grow lights?

Full-spectrum LED lights mimic natural sunlight, providing a balanced mix of blue (for vegetative growth) and red (for flowering and fruiting) light. Red/blue LED lights focus on specific wavelengths but may not support plants as effectively as full-spectrum lights.
