Purpose-built for the unique needs of greenhouse cultivation, the MegaDrive® Linear Series — including the Linear 400, Dual 400, and 600 models — delivers powerful, low-profile supplemental lighting that minimizes shadowing while maximizing efficiency and scalability. These advanced LED fixtures feature centralized power distribution and cutting-edge digital spectrum control, achieving industry-leading efficacy of up to 3.93 µmol/J. With the ability to chain up to 27 fixtures per power drop, the Linear Series represents a new standard in performance lighting for modern greenhouse operations.
The MegaDrive® Linear 400 (MDL400) is engineered to provide powerful, energy-efficient supplemental lighting in a slim, waterproof design. Its low profile minimizes canopy shadowing, making it ideal for integration into dense crop arrangements or high-value greenhouse installations. At the heart of the MDL400 is its dual-channel digital spectrum control, which enables full 0–100% dimming and tailored light recipes to meet the needs of every growth phase. The fixture is optimized for flowering, with a strong emphasis on deep red output that promotes photosynthetic activity and bloom development.
Delivering 1,050 μmol/s with up to 3.5 µmol/J efficacy, the MDL400 ensures high light output with minimal power consumption. Its passive thermal management system produces just 1365 BTU, reducing HVAC load and enabling more sustainable operations. The fixture is UL 8750 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.250.13 compliant, rated for over 100,000 hours (L90), and backed by a five-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Installation is streamlined with MegaDrive’s centralized power design—eliminating onboard drivers and complex wiring above the canopy. This enables daisy-chaining of up to 27 fixtures per drop, which not only cuts installation costs by up to 80%, but also reduces fixture costs by as much as 30%. This innovative infrastructure model simplifies maintenance and lowers capital expenditures while maximizing coverage and crop performance.
The MegaDrive® Linear Dual 400 (MDL Dual 400) expands on the capabilities of the standard 400 model, doubling the output to 2,100 μmol/s while maintaining the same digital spectrum control and compact form factor. Ideal for large-scale greenhouses and indoor facilities, the Dual 400 supports 6 to 12 fixtures per power supply and up to 27 units per power drop, making it exceptionally scalable. Like its counterpart, it emphasizes deep red wavelengths, making it a powerful tool for boosting flowering crops and overall plant biomass.
Thanks to a maximum efficacy of 3.5 µmol/J, the MDL Dual 400 enables significant energy savings without compromising on output. It is also passively cooled, generating just 1365 BTU, which reduces dependence on environmental cooling systems and contributes to a more stable grow environment. Compliant with the same high safety and quality standards, it also boasts a 100,000-hour lifespan and five-year warranty, making it a future-proof choice for commercial growers.
Both models are ideal replacements for traditional HPS lighting, offering precision spectrum control that static-spectrum fixtures cannot. Their ability to adjust spectral intensity over time—combined with options like sunrise/sunset simulation and seasonal spectrum tuning—results in healthier crops, less stress, better cannabinoid and terpene development, and ultimately, higher yields.
In conclusion, the MegaDrive® Linear Series delivers a game-changing combination of efficiency, precision, durability, and scalability for serious greenhouse and indoor cultivators. Whether you're upgrading from legacy lighting or seeking to expand your grow with the latest in LED technology, the Linear 400 and Dual 400 offer unmatched performance and long-term value, all while significantly reducing infrastructure and energy costs.
