PhytoMAX-2 LED Grow Lights

The patent-pending PhytoMAX-2 series of LED grow lights from Black Dog LED builds on our more than 6 years experience with LED grow lights, incorporating numerous technological and engineering advancements to deliver unprecedented PAR levels and efficiency to maximize growth. A team of engineers and plant scientists spent months of design, testing, and refinement to create PhytoMAX-2 — once again Black Dog LED has set the highest standard in grow light technology with the PhytoMAX-2 series of LED indoor grow lights:

All Highest-Quality, High-Efficiency 5-watt LEDs
- Every top-bin LED is selected from the industry leader for its particular wavelength, including Cree, Osram, etc.
- Glass primary lenses ensure durability and cleanability while maximizing efficiency
- High light intensity and energetic spectrum, crucial for canopy penetration to nourish lower leaves and flowers
- Even, edge-to-edge coverage eliminates leaf burn and hot spots
Commercial Grade
- ETL certified to UL safety standards
- The best active heat management in the industry, crucial to maximizing LED life, efficiency and spectrum stability
- Largest heat sink among LED grow lights for superior cooling and increased LED life
- Ultra efficient, long-life fans: 70,000+ hour rated lifespan
Made in the U.S.A
- Designed and built in Colorado
Phyto-Genesis Spectrum®
- The most efficient spectrum for growing plants based on over 6 years of research and testing, outperforming HPS, MH, CMH, Induction and Fluorescent in equal wattage tests
- One ideal spectrum for both Veg and Flowering stages
  - Does not stall plant growth like switching from MH to HPS does
  - Eliminates the need for separate vegetative and flowering lights
- Decreases internodal spacing to encourage flower and leaf growth, rather than stems
Beyond PAR™ – UV and IR LEDs
- UV light maximizes trichome production and makes plants more resistant to pests and diseases
- Our UV LEDs are laboratory proven to produce higher potency/active compounds (terpenes, antioxidants/vitamins and flavonoids)
- IR light increases photosynthetic efficiency and enhances Flowering due to Phytochrome activation
Industry-Leading 5 Year Warranty
Water-Shedding Housing can be Mounted Flush to the Ceiling
Largest Lighting Footprints in the Industry!
- Maintaining even coverage across the entire footprint (no hot spots)
True 1025 Watts / 1602 μMol/s total photon flux!
- The PhytoMAX-2 1000 is the most powerful grow light on the market

The above footprint calculations were created for photoperiod-sensitive plants in a square area \ H.H. = Hanging Height

* Average PPFD measurements are over the entire footprint, edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner, based on reflective surroundings or adjacent lights.
** When growing in an area smaller than the Medium Recommended Flower Footprint, CO₂ supplementation is generally required to make full use of the additional light.

LED Grow Lights Designed for Commercial, Greenhouse, Research and Indoor Growing

Since 2010 Black Dog LED has been the market leader of innovative high power, high yield and truly full-spectrum LED grow lights. With our new PhytoMAX-2 series we are continuing our tradition of quality including all the latest advancements in LED technology! The PhytoMAX-2 combines all-new, high-power and high-efficiency 5 Watt LEDs from leading companies like Cree and Osram to create our updated, proprietary Phyto-Genesis Spectrum™. With 7 years of proven results as the growers’ choice for the highest-rated indoor grow lighting we are proud to deliver high yields, quality and efficiency unmatched in the indoor garden industry.

As one of the oldest LED grow light manufacturers, Black Dog LED is responsible for many of the innovations that have made LEDs truly viable for replacing traditional grow lights. In 2010 we created the first LED plant light incorporating a full spectrum from UV to NIR, originally with 3W LEDs but now exclusively with high power 5W diodes, producing the most-powerful and high-yielding full-spectrum commercial grow lights.

Our new PhytoMAX-2 lights have been re-engineered to improve intensity, efficiency and quality. Built on our 7 years’ experience of LED test grows and field use, PhytoMAX-2 redefines expectations for grow lights, LED or otherwise. PhytoMAX-2 increases flexibility, efficiency, longevity and yield by providing full, even coverage of the entire lighting footprint with unprecedented PAR levels in a spectrum that takes your garden Beyond PAR™ to maximize plant quality and yield.

Our mission is to deliver the best indoor grow lights utilizing the best available current technology and innovations, backed by test grows, and without any gimmicks. Black Dog LED’s high-power LED grow lights are superior in radiant efficiency to all other grow lights including HID, HPS, MH, CMH (LEC), induction, plasma, fluorescent, “white” and other LEDs.

We are a 100% research-based company, ensuring every commercial grow light we create meets or exceeds your expectations and outperforms the competition. We back all our claims with research, spectrometer measurements, white papers, and grow tests to ensure you receive the high quality yields our customers have come to expect. We are committed to never exaggerating our claims, including our coverage footprints. Black Dog LED has over 80 years’ combined indoor growing experience; our lights are designed by growers, for growers!

With PhytoMAX-2 you can be confident you will achieve the same vibrant growth and flowering results as seen throughout this site, multiple indoor grow journals, and online reviews. The best way to see just how well PhytoMAX-2 grows is to try one yourself!
