Light Sensor for Hydro-X (MBS-PAR)

The full-spectrum sensor (MBS-PAR) is an essential tool for accurately measuring photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from the various light sources used in plant cultivation. Its advanced design covers a wide spectral range of 389 to 692 nm, providing accurate measurements even for LED lighting.

Features of the Hydro-x Photodiode Cell (MBS-PAR):

The Hydro-x Photodiode Cell (MBS-PAR) is a vital tool for growing enthusiasts, providing accurate measurements of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from the light sources used in the plant growing process. This full-spectrum quantum sensor covers a spectral range of 389 to 692 nm ± 5 nm, ensuring an accurate response even in environments where LED lights are used.

The MBS-PAR stands out for its ability to integrate seamlessly with the Hydro-X (HCS-1), Hydro-X (HCS-2) or Hydro-X (HCS-3) controller, allowing automatic adjustment of the output level of supplementary lighting systems. This ensures that the lighting level in terms of PPF (photosynthetically active photons) remains constant at the value selected by the user. This automation helps to optimise the growing environment and maximise lighting efficiency.
