Even Light, Better Growth: XLamp® Horizon LEDs
Description: The XLamp® XP-E2 and XP-G3 Horizon LEDs feature horticulture-specific beam shapes designed to deliver more even light coverage across plant beds, especially at short luminaire mounting heights. Unlike standard LEDs that project light directly forward - often causing uneven illumination - Horizon70 and Horizon90 optics direct peak output 70° or 90° from center, ensuring uniform light distribution. Available in 70 CRI White, Photophyllâ„¢ Select, Royal Blue, Photo Red and Far Red, these LEDs are ideal for optimized plant growth and lighting efficiency.
