The Oreon Monarch 3-Channel LED toplight represents a significant leap forward in dynamic horticultural lighting, combining high output, energy efficiency, and advanced spectral control. Building on the proven performance of the original Monarch, this new 3-Channel model introduces unparalleled flexibility, enabling growers to tailor the light spectrum and intensity throughout the day and across the seasons. It offers a dimmable, customer-specific spectrum that can be actively adjusted during cultivation, ensuring the right light composition is delivered at the right time for optimal plant growth.
This next-generation toplight supports dynamic lighting strategies, allowing intensity fluctuations to match sunlight availability or avoid peak electricity pricing. With the ability to shift light color and intensity—such as increasing white light or adding far-red—the Monarch 3-Channel meets the evolving needs of precision horticulture. The fixture supports one, two, or three independently dimmable channels. The main channel can utilize up to 1260 watts, while channels two and three each support up to 140 watts. Growers can define the spectral output of each channel, giving them complete control over the lighting environment.
Thanks to its water-cooled design, the Monarch 3-Channel maintains high efficiency while reducing the need for ventilation. The water-cooling system enables reuse of up to 30% of the energy produced as heat, significantly lowering energy costs and minimizing CO₂ loss. This design also allows growers to keep energy screens closed, which reduces heat loss to the outside air and can result in up to 50% savings on total energy expenditures. Despite its power, the fixture remains compact, ensuring minimal blockage of natural sunlight and extending fixture lifespan to 50,000 hours at L90 B05 levels.
Control and monitoring of the Monarch 3-Channel are managed through the Oreon LED Control Center (OLCC™), which uses the industry-standard Horti Lighting Protocol (HLP) and a Bluetooth® SIG MESH network. This enables dynamic, precise control of lighting conditions with unlimited grouping options. The system also offers real-time insights into individual fixture performance, including temperature, voltage, and power consumption, giving growers deep visibility into operational efficiency.
With a maximum light output of 4,800 μmol/s and an efficacy of up to 3.8 μmol/J, the Monarch 3-Channel offers powerful illumination for high-density cultivation environments. By combining spectral precision, power efficiency, advanced controllability, and a compact, heat-managing design, Oreon’s Monarch 3-Channel LED toplight delivers an elite solution for growers looking to push the boundaries of sustainable, high-yield production.
