The purpose of a grow light is to turn electricity into electromagnetic radiation in the form of light needed for plant growth efficiently as possible. Common lighting devices (including other LED lights) emit a wide range of radiation, including heat, often not needed for the intended purpose, illumination; and this energy is often pulsed at a high rate so it appears to be consistently on to the human eye but causing a drop in needed luminance at a specific wavelength and over a finite amount of time and space in relation to power consumption. Furthermore the heat generated is often removed by a fan or other method leading to more power use and heat generation.

WARNING PLEASE READ
Use at own risk.
Even though all the light emitted from CEL is safe do not stare directly into the light.

QUICKSTART GUIDE

1. Remove all packing materials and visually inspect the CEL for any damage such as broken or frayed wires, dents, or any shipping damage. If the unit is damaged call tech support immediately.



2. Check that the supplied electricity matches the fixture rating , power up the CEL and check that all the LEDs are lit.



3. Position the CEL no more than five (5) feet away from what you want to grow. If the CEL is too close to the plant the LEDs will bleach spots on the plant. Experiment to find what works best for your particular situation. CEL will work in any orientation.



4. Maintain air temperature between 60 and 80 degrees for optimal growth. CEL reaches peak performance during this temperature range.



5. A timer is recommended to limit light exposure to 18 hours a day for vegetative growth cycle and 12 hours a day to simulate fall for blooming to take place in plants that are sensitive to a photo period.




WARRANTY

1 year parts and 10 year labor.
Guaranteed to grow if used properly.


INSTRUCTIONS

After you decide on the layout of your space and the positioning of your CEL you will need to devote most of your attention to the immediate growing environment. CEL is designed to capitalize on the natural relationship between humans and plants. If you are comfortable in the growing environment then your plants will be comfortable in the environment given the right amount of light. Pay attention to the directions on the products you use in your grow. Keep in mind plants need light, water, food, and air to grow. The purest ph balanced water available should be used in your grow. Fans are not necessary to cool the lights but they do help strengthen the stems and ruffle the leaves allowing light to penetrate deeper into the foliage. Try to keep the grow environment as natural as possible. Do not enclose your space unless it is necessary. The more space a plant has to grow the more it will flourish. Simpler is better, especially if it is your first attempt to grow under artificial light. Always design your grow for the end result. Count on your plants growing into the environment rather than filling up your space immediately.


Design and Concept


Cool and efficient light providing consistent, constant, controlled, wavelength specific and directional illumination. The cool efficient light (CEL for short) emits the wanted wavelengths of light directionally while dissipating the heat through the reflector. The light output can be smooth and not pulsed leading to a higher ratio of light over time. Choosing the right emitters for the intended use it is possible to emit wanted wavelengths of light in the wanted place with minimal extra radiation such as heat or UV rays.
