The Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental Light LED Bar is a specialized lighting solution developed for growers seeking to elevate the quality and characteristics of their crops through ultraviolet light supplementation. Designed for use during the flowering stage, this UV LED bar enhances flavor, aroma, and active compound levels in fruits and flowers by incorporating UV-A and UV-B radiation into the grow environment. It is an ideal addition for growers aiming to produce high-value, premium crops.
This fixture is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Lumatek Zeus full-spectrum LED grow lights. With its built-in power supply and daisy-chain connectivity, the UV bar offers flexible and scalable installation options. The 30W UV bar emits targeted wavelengths in the UV-B (280–315 nm) and UV-A (315–400 nm) spectrum ranges, scientifically supported to impact plant development positively. The fixture delivers 100 mW of UV-B and 12000 mW of UV-A, providing 2.2 kJ/day (12 hours) of UV-B and 518 kJ/day of UV-A radiation, without emitting harmful UV-C rays.
The inclusion of UV lighting serves multiple benefits: it can increase the concentration of active substances in plants by up to 30%, enhance flavor and aroma, extend shelf life, and assist in mold prevention through UV-B exposure—thus reducing reliance on chemical treatments. By emitting mild doses of UV radiation, the fixture initiates natural defense mechanisms in plants, which also improves overall crop resilience and quality.
To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to use at least two UV bars with Zeus 600W 2.6, Zeus 465W Pro 2.9, Zeus 600W Pro 2.9, and Zeus 1000W Xtreme CO₂ fixtures, each covering respective footprints of up to 1.5 x 1.5 meters. For larger setups like the Zeus 1000W Pro, three units are suggested for even UV distribution. Supplementation should begin with a 12-hour photoperiod and be adjusted based on plant response, especially during the final four weeks of flowering. If signs of plant stress occur, increasing the distance from the canopy or reducing exposure duration is advised.
The Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental Light LED Bar features a durable design with an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, passive cooling for silent operation, and a wide 140° light distribution. It includes eight UV-B and forty UV-A high-spec diodes, ensuring uniform radiation across a footprint of 1.2 x 0.6 meters. The unit operates at 30W with a power factor greater than 0.98, supports multi-layer farming, and can be used in tents or grow rooms. Thermal management is handled passively, and the unit is not dimmable or externally controllable. However, its plug-and-play design makes it highly user-friendly, and it supports daisy-chaining for streamlined setup in larger grow environments.
While highly beneficial, the fixture does emit UV radiation that may affect human health. It is essential to switch off the unit during installation or maintenance. If this is not feasible, growers must wear appropriate protective clothing, including long sleeves, gloves, and UV-blocking safety glasses. Avoid direct exposure to the light source, and do not obstruct airflow around the fixture or allow it to contact surfaces while in operation to maintain performance and longevity.
The product measures 1000 x 48 x 42 mm, weighs 1.2 kg, and has a lifetime rating of over 8,500 hours (L90). It emits 102 BTUs per hour and is CE certified. The package includes one 30W UV LED bar and two stainless steel hooks. Power and daisy chain cables are sold separately. Recommended accessories include the 4-meter power cable (LUMM0032) and the 1.5-meter daisy chain cable (LUMM0033). With its high output and professional-grade design, the Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental Light LED Bar is a powerful tool for growers committed to crop excellence and differentiation.
