Standard power adapters included with each bar are AC input 100-240V-, 1.1A, 50-60 HZ and output 24V DC. These will plug into any standard wall
socket. Bars are shipped with country specific power supplies. The bars have a DC power connector on each end that allows power to flow through the
bar for connection to another bar. The limit on this "chaining" is 4 bars in a series. There are a wide variety of power supplies available for use in
chaining. For simple setups, you can just swap out the wall plug power supplies for a single large supply without any additional cost. For larger setups,
LED Grow Master can provide large supplies that will power many strings of 4 bars easily. Most of these power supplies will work on both 120vac and
240vac. When operated on 240vac, the cost of operation drops about 40% over the same setup running on 120vac.
LED Grow Master supplies commercial power supplies for larger setups. Our best value unit is 960 watts, which is about 100 LGM550 bars. It's light
weight and electronic. Power supplies are available in either shelf mount or DIN mount. Keep in mind that when powering bars for commercial use, it is
recommended that a maximum of 4 bars be used per power drop. The use of automotive or high-voltage cable type 00 is recommended also. We do not
supply this cable because it is always less expensive for the grower to purchase it locally from an electrical supply house. The "Aluminum Multi Conductor
Parallel & Tee Tap Connectors" pictured below are recommended for tapping into the buss cables. (positive or negative).
Commercial growers "should" use 3-phase power. The commercial power supplies we feature are 92% efficient, compared to only 80% for
single-phase type units. Efficiency relates to how much energy is lost during the convert from AC to DC, something which most commercial growers are
sensitive to. Ideally, one should run our products on photovoltaic or wind power, as our products are the only plant growing option for operating off the
grid. More options are available if you would like to run "off the grid" using solar/battery setups.
For larger commercial setups requiring 1000 or more bars you have the option of special bar to bar cables as well as engineering drawings needed
to show bar mounting and power drops.

| Solar Power The numbers per bar are: 400 mA if powered by 24 vdc direct or 9.6 watts. When working with photovoltaic/ battery setups, it is infinitely desirable to not use a power converter. Typical PV/Batt setups are for homes which need 120 vac power. They design the setup to have a PV panel(s), batteries, and a power inverter to change the 24 vdc panel voltage to 120 vac house voltage. The inverter however has at best 60-70% efficiency, meaning that you lose up to 1/3 of the PV panel power. SolarOasis product runs on 24 vdc, the same as the PV panel, so only a power regulator is needed. A power regulator is needed because PV panels vary from 22 volts in the shade, up to 70 volts in noon, clear day sun. The voltage coming into the light bar must be regulated to no higher than 24.7 volts DC. If is dips lower than this, it is not a problem, but if it goes higher than this, the light bar will be compromised. |
