EconoLux Industries announces new Mc Series of LED COB grow-lights with close match to McCree curve

CENTRAL, Hong Kong - June 27, 2019 - PRLog -- EconoLux Industries, a leading manufacturer of LED grow/plant lights and components, is pleased to announce the release of our new ELPL-Mc series of low-cost and modestly priced LED COB grow-light engines, with a close match to the McCree curve.

The ELPL-Mc series are designed as a "Full spectrum" and "Full cycle" LED Grow-light COBs, with a close match of 80%, 85%, 90% or 95+% to the McCree curve, for professional and presumer growing applications.

The McCree curve, was researched by Dr. Keith J. McCree, a professor at Texas A & M, and published in his ground breaking paper entitled "The action spectrum, absorptance and quantum yield of photosynthesis in crop plants".  He compared the light needs of 22 different types of crop plants so as to provide the most recent research on the spectral curve of plants showing their light needs.

The ELPL-Mc80 model offers an 80% match to the McCree curve, 100W output, 776.2 PPFD at 30.5 cm (12"), 120 degree beam-spread, and an efficiency of 3.02 µmol/J.  Built on a PCB COB holder, this low-cost COB is available with quantity discounts.

The ELPL-Mc85 model offers an 85% match to the McCree curve, 100W output, 810.2 PPFD at 30.5 cm (12"), 120 degree beam-spread, and efficiency of 3.15 µmol/J – Built on a PCB COB holder, this COB is low priced and quantity discounts are available).

The ELPL-Mc90 model offers an 90% match to the McCree curve, 100W output, 685.1 PPFD at 30.5 cm (12"), 120 degree beam-spread, and efficiency of 2.74 µmol/J – Built on a PCB COB holder, this moderate-cost COB is a modestly-priced model and quantity discounts are available.

The ELPL-Mc95+ is our premium model which offers a 95+% match to the McCree curve, 100W and/or 200W output, 966.8 PPFD at 30.5 cm (12" - for the 100W model), 120 degree beam-spread, and efficiency of 2.97 µmol/J – Built on a standard nickel coated copper & plastic COB holder, at a premium cost - quantity discounts are available.

The Mc series of plant growing COBs achieves superior crop yields compared to 'white-light' and 'blue/red' type grow-lights.  The Mc90 and Mc95+ are especially useful for growing leafy green plants (kale, parsley, lettuce, arugula, etc.), as well as Cannabis, due to the extra UV and blue light they produce - see http://www.econoluxindustries.com/cobs.html for full details, spectrum and specifications

The ELPL-Mc 100W series works with any standard 100W heat-sink, and can utilize standard 100W accessories such as reflectors and lenses. The Mc series offers a 50,000 hour lifespan and is designed for installation into a protective housing. The Mc80, Mc85 & Mc90 can also be provided in custom wattages and form factors to suit your grow-light needs.

Inventor of the Mc series of LED COB grow-light-engines, Michael Roberts, CTO of EconoLux Industries, said; "The Mc series light-engines represent a better choice, with a wider spectrum and closer match to the McCree curve and natural sunlight than any other "full spectrum" LED COB grow light on the market today. The Mc series allows the grower to select the match to the McCree curve, from 80% to 95+%, which is best suited to their crops, while providing light output from 385nm UV light to 780nm Infra-red light (depending on model). This makes the Mc series an ideal choice for all types of growing, or for incorporation by manufacturer's into their grow/plant light products".

EconoLux Industries also offers a complete line of passively cooled PRO-LED, 100W, grow-lights utilizing the New Low-cost Mc Series of PCB COBs, all PRO-LED lights use the MeanWell HBG drivers and come with CE and UL approval. The PRO-LED Grow lights are IP54 (water resistant) and IP65 (waterproof) rated, thus they ideal for use in high humidity locations such as professional greenhouses.
