DLI UV 150w: Revolutionize Your Grow with Advanced UV Technology
DLI UV 150w: Revolutionize Your Grow with Advanced UV Technology
It’s a rare honour that we get to introduce a product only described in superlatives. The DLI UV 150w has been called the ‘next big step in grow lighting’, ‘the next gen’ and a ‘game changer’. This superb full spectrum UV lamp from Dutch Lighting Innovations offers UVA, UVB and UVC. An incredible piece of technology for advanced growers the initial results from its application in the US have been outstanding.
Curiously, this is not a grow light. This is an additive fixture. Standalone this will not grow plants. To use this UV lamp, it is best set up in the middle of every 4 HPS or LED fixtures. It can easily cover an area of 3 meter squared and the results are astounding. Let's explore what makes this fixture so highly praised and how to best apply it for optimal results.
A Magic Dose of UV
The strength of this product lies in its potent supply of UV. It won’t take long for you to witness an impressive difference after introducing it. Plants naturally crave UV light, you’ll notice their leaves turning towards its source.
The supply of UV will aid them in building stronger cell walls and as a result you will start seeing more vigorous and health plants. Stronger plants inevitably lead to a more potent and higher-quality product.
Pest Control Marvel
Quite remarkably, for a lighting fixture, this is also a powerful pest control device. Name the intruder, name the problem and this single lamp has it covered. Botrytis, spider mites, gnats, powdery mildew – these all detest UV. Applying this lamp works as both a disease prevention and pest control fixture. It can slow pests down or remove them altogether depending on the amount in the environment.
It has been particularly effective at combating powdery mildew in its early applications in the US. This, in turn, means manual spraying or burning sulphur are not needed, saving both time and energy for growers.
Tremendous Terpene & Oil Boost
One of the most exciting outcomes this fixture grants is its ability to greatly intensify plant processes. Applying the DLI UV 150w has shown increases in both plant’s production of terpenes and the production of oil. As a result, plants are far tastier with noticeably more flavour. Tests have shown the additional DLI UV 150w fixture can increase terpene production by 15-25%. Tests have also shown that oil production can be increased by 10-15%.
This may only be the very earliest signs of potential from this brilliant supplement fixture. Research conducted at Wageningen University, Netherlands purposely bumped the DLI UV to high output. The results were a dazzling 37% terpene increase.
Residual Reduction
The fixture also shows a great capacity for breaking down residuals. Should you spray your plants with a product, the breakdown time of that product on the leaves is dependent on rain and UV when growing outdoors. Conversely, neither of these factors are available when growing indoors. Applying the DLI UV 150w means whenever your plants are sprayed during the veg or early flower, the residuals will be broken down over enough time and ensure there aren’t any in your end product.
How to Use DLI UV 150w
Application Guidelines
Add the fixture as part of your HPS & LED lighting setup.
Place in the middle of every 4 lighting fixtures.
Control the DLI UV 150w with the second channel of your controller.
Turn it on for approximately 4 hours a day.
Use during ‘solar noon’ – approximately middle of the day, when UV is naturally at its highest output. Irrespective of an 18-hour or 12-hour growing period.
General Advice
This fixture can be applied throughout the entire grow. We advise that you start by running it for 1 hour a day. Then after 2 days take it up to 2 hours a day. Then move up to four or 5 hours a day. The running time of the fixture can be experimented with, some growers have the fixture running for up to 12 hours a day. Any experimentation with running time should be entirely dependent on your grow and how your plants are responding to the UV.
Important: Do not be in the room when light is on. This is a strong light, do not look into the light. Do not work in the room for a prolonged time while it is on.
