Dynamic Spectrum Guide

Telos’ precision-engineered Dynamic grow lights provide exceptional PPFD uniformity and minimum spectral degradation, ensuring consistent long-term performance. Compared to competing fixtures, Telos LEDs maintain their precise spectral output, delivering reliable, high-quality results across multiple grow cycles.

Backed by thousands of hours of scientific research, Telos developed the PWS1 spectrum, optimised for high-quality yields in dense canopies. This balanced spectrum improves secondary metabolite production and enhances flower consistency. It allows growers to increase PPFD outputs without photobleaching or light stress.

This guide explains how Telos’ high-performance PWS1 spectrum enhances plant health, maximises photosynthesis, and drives higher yields.

Dynamic Range Spectrum Guide

PWS1 Spectrum: Optimised Light Distribution

Many full-spectrum grow lights prioritise high red wavelengths, driving upper-canopy growth and limiting light penetration in lower foliage. High red light emissions cause oversaturation, photobleaching, and heat stress, impacting plant health and reducing yields.

Telos’ exclusive PWS1 spectrum enhances photosynthesis, flavonoid synthesis, and overall plant morphology. It allows plants to develop more efficiently under higher PPFD conditions.

PWS1 is precision engineered for balanced energy distribution, ensuring deeper canopy penetration and photosynthetic efficiency. PWS1’s reduced red wavelengths and enhanced blue and green light concentrations allow growers to increase light outputs without heat stress. This leads to more uniform development, denser flowers, higher flavonoid production, and greater yield efficiency.

The Role of Red Light in Optimising Flower Development (600-699nm)

Red light wavelengths promote photosynthetic efficiency at leaf level. 660nm red light optimises photon conversion in the upper canopy, resulting in rapid foliage growth. However, dense canopies impact photosynthetic efficiency as fewer photons penetrate the canopy.

Red light is essential for flowering, signalling transition from vegetative growth to bloom development. This process ensures consistent flowering under controlled lighting conditions.

Telos’ PWS1 spectrum is precision engineered for red light regulation, harnessing higher PPFD for optimised metabolic activity and flowering efficiency. This boosts yield potential per square metre and improves flower quality without photobleaching or stem elongation.

The Role of Green Light in Canopy Penetration (500-599nm)

Red and blue light are primarily absorbed in the upper canopy. Green light promotes deep canopy penetration, transmitting effectively through lower foliage and shaded regions, driving photosynthesis at all leaf layers.

PWS1 optimises green light, ensuring even energy distribution through dense canopies and promoting consistent flower development. By increasing canopy penetration, PWS1 promotes more uniform flower formation and quality, while reducing dependency on red wavelengths for energy absorption deeper in the canopy.

The Role of Blue Light in Plant Morphology & Development (435-499nm)

Blue light is critical for regulating plant morphology, influencing leaf expansion, internodal spacing, and overall canopy structure. Higher blue light concentrations promote sturdy, uniform plant growth, preventing stem elongation and weak plant development.

Blue light optimises phototropism, directing plant growth towards light sources to maximize light interception and energy absorption. Additionally, blue light enhances gas exchange and water-use efficiency in leaves. This is especially beneficial for high-intensity lighting conditions.

PWS1’s enhanced blue light levels boost flower density, increasing floral clusters and bud development. Blue light improves photosynthetic efficiency and plant structure, ensuring consistent, high-quality growth and crop uniformity.

The Role of Violet Light in Crop Quality & Defense (380-434nm)

430nm violet light activates key photoreceptors, enhancing plant metabolism, stress resilience, and microorganism activities. While blue light primarily shapes plant morphology, violet light promotes resilience, increasing antioxidant activity and biochemical protection.

These wavelengths result in high flavonoid content, boosting flavour, aroma, colour, resilience, and antioxidant production, leading to stronger sensory profiles and improved overall crop quality.

Additionally, violet light reduces surface-level bacteria, ensuring a clean growing environment.

Unlike competing spectrums, PWS1 emits significantly higher violet wavelengths, enhancing plant defences, boosting metabolic efficiency, and improving overall crop quality.
