Présentation du produit
Discover the ideal LED horticultural lighting system for your indoor cultivation, growth and flowering. You will benefit from a powerful, efficient and durable LED lamp.
The SANlight EVO have been developed to be ultra-efficient. They have an efficiency of more than 3µmol/J at the module level. The yield per zone has also been boosted as well as the spectrum. This extends considerably, even beyond the usual PAR range. Thanks to the deep red LEDs, you will obtain abundant harvests with excellent quality.
Improved homogeneity and technology
On the EVO models, you will find OSRAM High Power LEDs for the deep red LEDs, but also WICOP white LEDs from Seoul Semiconductor.
The SANlight EVO have been improved compared to previous models. The optics have been resized, which allows for more homogeneous lighting, and with better light intensity. The secondary optics also prevent too much loss of photons for your plants, but also protect the LEDs from the growing environment.
The products are dimmable. You will be able to vary the intensity of the panel according to the life phase of your plants, in order to avoid consuming too much (for nothing) during the germination/growth phases. Please note, the SANlight magnetic dimmer is sold separately.

Product questions
Your questions about this product
- Is the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W LED lamp compatible with the SANlight magnetic dimmer sold separately, and if so, what potential impact is there on energy consumption?Of course, the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W LED lamp is perfectly compatible with the separate SANlight magnetic dimmer. Together, they can concretely reduce your energy consumption. Indeed, the dimmer offers the possibility to adjust the luminous flux of your lamp according to four power levels. So you adjust the lighting according to the precise needs of your plants, thus avoiding unnecessary energy consumption. Moreover, each reduction in light intensity results in a proportional reduction in energy consumption. A real asset for the electricity bill and for the planet! Remember: a dimmer is necessary for each lamp that you wish to control individually. Each dimmer is resistant to moisture, optimized for growing environments. Enjoy the flexibility of this system to adapt lighting to each growth phase of your plants. It's a beautiful project to regulate your own growing environment, well done to you!
- Is the SANlight dimmer sold separately compatible with automatic management via a home automation system to adjust the intensity according to the growth phase?The SANlight dimmer for the EVO 4-100 series is indeed "ready-to-dim" and compatible with control systems used in greenhouses, offering precise intensity adjustment. Dimming options include a magnetic model (simple, with 20% increments) and a Bluetooth model (more suitable for large installations with app-based management).However, for automatic management via an external home automation system, there is no announced standard direct integration. This might require specific compatibility or custom integration with SANlight dimmers.
- What is the best dimmer configuration to optimize electric consumption and light spectrum during the growth and flowering phases with the SANlight EVO 4 100 255W?To make the most of the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W, using a magnetic or Bluetooth dimmer is ideal. During the growth phase, set the intensity between 50% and 70% to ensure moderate light that promotes healthy leaf and stem development. During flowering, increase the intensity between 80% and 100%, especially if CO₂ supplementation is planned, to maximize flower production while keeping electric consumption in check.This flexibility, combined with the advanced technology of the SANlight EVO 4, allows for precise adjustment of the light spectrum and power according to the specific needs of each phase, ensuring optimal and efficient growth.
- Is the passive cooling system of the SANlight EVO 4-100 sufficient to avoid overheating in a 120x120 cm growing space during the flowering phase at 255W?
The SANlight EVO 4-100 uses a passive cooling system designed to prevent overheating, even at full power of 255W. For a growing space of 120x120 cm during the flowering phase, this cooling is generally sufficient as long as the ambient temperature is well controlled and ventilation is effective. Good air exchange is essential to prevent heat buildup and ensure a stable and healthy environment for your plants.
- Is the EVO 4-100 model recommended for a 120x120 cultivation in a complete cycle, or is it better to combine it with a second panel to optimize lights and yields?
The SANlight EVO 4-100, with its 255W and 696 µmol/s, is perfectly calibrated for an area of about 1 m² (100×100 cm). On a 120×120 cm surface, a single panel might not provide optimal light coverage or sufficient uniformity, which could limit the yield.
To maximize light and achieve uniform intensity over 1.44 m², it is advisable to combine two EVO 4-100 panels. This setup allows for very efficient lighting across the entire surface, especially if you have CO₂ supplementation and dimmers to adjust intensity during different growth phases.
In summary: a single EVO 4-100 can function, but to optimize your results on 120×120 cm, two panels will be more suitable.
- What notable difference in terms of growth and yield will you note between a SANlight EVO 4-100 255W LED lighting and an equivalent power CMH model?
The SANlight EVO 4-100 255W and an equivalent power CMH lighting differ mainly in their spectrum and energy management. The CMH offers a broad spectrum including UV and IR, similar to natural sunlight, which can be beneficial for the overall quality of the plant.
In contrast, the SANlight provides a customized spectrum optimized for growth and yield, with better energy efficiency. It consumes less, generates less heat, facilitating climate control indoors and reducing ventilation or air conditioning needs.
Ultimately, the SANlight can potentially provide a higher yield due to its spectral precision and lower heat production, while the CMH remains interesting for reproducing a complete natural spectrum. The choice will also depend on your setup and your priorities in terms of thermal management and consumption.
- How do you manage thermal dissipation and the tilt of the secondary optics to optimize the uniformity of lighting over a surface of 120x120cm with the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W?
The SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W is perfectly suited for a surface of 120x120 cm, thanks to two key points:
1. Thermal dissipation: Its aluminum body promotes efficient thermal conduction, complemented by an IP65 protection that allows its use in humid environments without overheating. To optimize dissipation, it is important to maintain active ventilation and an ambient temperature between 5 and 35 °C, thus ensuring the stability and longevity of the LEDs.
2. Tilt of the secondary optics: The optics are adjustable up to 11°, allowing precise direction of the light beam. By orienting these optics, you avoid overly concentrated or shaded areas, thus ensuring an even distribution of light over the entire cultivation area.
This thermal management and optical flexibility combined ensure perfectly distributed and stable light for the harmonious growth of your plants.
- What is the real interest of tilting the secondary optics on the SANlight EVO 4 to optimize uniformity and efficiency over an area of 120x120cm?Tilting the secondary optics on the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W allows for optimal light distribution over an area of 120x120 cm by maximizing uniformity. This tilt adjusts the direction of photons to avoid overly bright or shadowed areas, ensuring balanced plant growth.
Moreover, this tilt improves energy efficiency by reducing losses of absorbed or unnecessarily dispersed light, directly benefiting the health and development of crops.
Finally, the secondary optics also protect the LEDs from external damages, enhancing the durability of the equipment.
In short, this technical adjustment ensures optimal luminous efficiency, essential for getting the most out of your indoor setup.
- What is the best way to install this EVO 4 model to optimize a surface of 120x120 without excessive heat?
To optimize the installation of the SANlight EVO 4-100 (255W) on a surface of 120×120 cm, it is possible to use a single unit, but the lighting will be less uniform at the edges. To avoid excess heat, it is essential to ensure effective ventilation with a suitable extractor and to mount the lamp close to the ceiling, which facilitates air circulation in the tent.
For greater uniformity and light intensity, the ideal solution is to install two EVO 4-100, but this requires enhanced ventilation to control the generated heat.
Finally, closely monitor the temperature and humidity with a thermometer/hygrometer, and prioritize good fresh air flow at the entrance with quick removal of hot air.
- Easy compatibility with Sanlight dimmer sold separately? Is it possible to install it yourself without specific tools? How long to see a difference in growing plants?
Dimmer compatibility: The SANlight EVO 4-100 works perfectly with the Sanlight dimmer sold separately, allowing for easy adjustment of light intensity based on your plants' needs.
Installation: Installation can be done without specific tools. Sanlight products are generally designed for simple setup, but it's essential to follow the provided instructions to ensure safe and optimal installation.
Growth results: Depending on the growing conditions (plant, photoperiod, environment), you can start to notice a significant improvement in growth within a few weeks. This timeframe is typical for a high-performance LED light like the SANlight EVO 4-100.
- What is the average lifespan of the LEDs on this model and how does it evolve with intensive indoor use?The average lifespan of the LEDs in the SANlight EVO 4-100 255W is generally over 5 years, similar to other models in the EVO series, known for their longevity and stable performance. To preserve this lifespan, it is important to ensure effective ventilation and good air renewal to avoid overheating. The integrated passive cooling system in the SANlight EVO 4-100 helps maintain the optimal temperature even with intensive indoor use, thereby ensuring good durability of the LEDs over time.
- What are the concrete advantages of tilting the secondary optics on the SANlight EVO 4 lamp to optimize lighting in a cultivation area of 120x120cm?
Tilting the secondary optics of the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W over a cultivation area of 120x120 cm concretely optimizes the lighting by allowing a precise orientation of the light beam, thus avoiding shadowed or over-concentrated areas.
This tilt promotes an optimal homogeneity of light thanks to a better distribution of photons, which is essential for a uniform growth of all plants in the area.
Moreover, the optics protect the LEDs from environmental agents while remaining easy to clean, ensuring a stable light output over time.
Finally, this flexibility allows for the optimization of the PPFD received by the plants, thus maximizing energy efficiency and growth, all without increasing power consumption.
- Can a 1x1 m Scrog be optimized on the SANlight EVO 4 by adjusting the tilt of the secondary optics for better light penetration under the leaves?
Yes, it is entirely possible to optimize a 1x1 m Scrog with the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W by adjusting the tilt of the secondary optics. These adjustable 3D lenses capture more than 95% of the photons and allow for precise light direction, thus improving penetration under the leaves in dense foliage areas.
By tilting these optics, you promote uniform light distribution and better growth in all layers of the plant, which is essential for a well-filled Scrog. For a 1 m² square, we recommend using two EVO 4-100 units to achieve optimal uniformity and light intensity, especially during the flowering phase with CO₂ supplementation.
- Does the dimmable capability of the SANlight EVO 4 really allow for optimizing electricity consumption between germination and flowering if the dimmer must be purchased separately?
The SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W is indeed equipped with a dimmable capability, allowing for adjustment of light intensity according to the growth phases, particularly to reduce electricity consumption during germination and increase it during flowering.
However, the dimmer is not included with the lamp: it must be purchased separately. Once equipped, you can precisely modulate the power, which truly optimizes energy consumption and adapts the lighting to the specific needs of your plants according to their growth stage.
Without this controller, the lamp will always operate at full power (255W), with no possibility for dimming. Therefore, the dimmer is essential to fully benefit from this feature and achieve electricity savings while ensuring optimal lighting.
- What difference does it really make to have a spectrum that exceeds the usual range compared to a standard LED in growth and flowering?
The SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W offers an expanded and precisely calibrated light spectrum that exceeds the standard ranges of classic LEDs. It integrates high-quality red, far-red, and white LEDs, optimizing photosynthesis and plant growth.
This complementary range of wavelengths, particularly the far-red, promotes a more harmonious flowering and improved vegetative development. Furthermore, its high efficiency (over 3 µmol/J) limits energy consumption while providing optimal light intensity.
Its advanced thermal design reduces heat output, preserving an ideal climate for cultivation, and its adjustable optics allow for uniform light distribution, essential for homogeneous growth.
In summary, this expanded and optimized spectrum enables faster results, better plant vigor, and superior yields while consuming less energy and generating less heat than a standard LED.
- What is the actual electricity consumption on a complete cycle (growth and flowering) for 120x120 cm with SANlight EVO 4 at 255W and what yield in umol per joule can I expect under optimal conditions?For an indoor cultivation area of 120x120 cm with SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W, the actual electricity consumption over a complete cycle (growth + flowering) is about 230 W on average per panel. Indeed, the dimmable power allows adjusting the intensity, for example to 70% during growth and 100% during flowering.
Regarding light efficiency, this panel delivers approximately 2.7 µmol/J under optimal conditions (good ventilation, controlled temperature, well-tuned installation). This corresponds to a light output of 696 µmol/s for 255 W consumed.
For a 120x120 cm area, a single panel provides acceptable lighting but two panels EVO 4-100 are recommended for even coverage and better overall yield, which naturally doubles the consumption to about 510 W on average.
This configuration guarantees you highly efficient LED lighting for optimal plant development.
- Is integration possible with a voice assistant to adjust the intensity of the SANlight EVO 4 100 255W or is it necessary to use a separate physical dimmer?
The SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W does not allow you to adjust the light intensity directly via a voice assistant like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. To modulate the power, it is necessary to use a separate physical dimmer, for example, the Sanlight M-Dimmer.
Voice integration is technically possible but only via a complex home automation setup, using a third-party controller and a system like Home Assistant. This solution requires advanced skills and additional hardware.
In summary: voice control requires an external dimmer associated with a home automation platform to act as the interface.
- Possible integration with home automation systems like Home Assistant or Jeedom to control the intensity and schedule of the lamp via smartphone or voice assistant?
The SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W is indeed dimmable via separate sold magnetic dimmers or Bluetooth, allowing precise control of light intensity.
However, there is no standard native home automation integration with systems like Home Assistant or Jeedom. To manage the intensity and schedules from a smartphone or via voice assistant, a custom solution will be necessary.
This solution involves using a microcontroller like ESP8266 or ESP32 with ESPHome, which can then integrate into Home Assistant. This way, you can control the lamp remotely and via voice command through Google Assistant or Alexa.
In summary, home automation integration is feasible but requires a technical setup with an additional controller and appropriate configuration.
- What is the exact difference in yield between this EVO 4 model and a lower EVO model for a 120x120 crop in terms of µmol per second?
For a cultivation area of 120 x 120 cm (1.44 m²), the SANlight EVO 4 - 100 - 255W and a lower EVO model like the EVO 4-80 practically produce a very close total photon flux, provided that the recommended number of panels is used (two units in both cases). Each panel delivers approximately 696 µmol/s, which is 1392 µmol/s for two panels, with no significant difference in luminous yield.
The real difference lies rather in the adaptation to the area: the EVO 4-100 covers about 1 m² per panel, while the EVO 4-80 is designed for about 0.64 m². Over 1.44 m², the light distribution can therefore be slightly more homogeneous with the panels adapted to the area, but in net terms of light production (µmol/s), the yield is equivalent.
