LED fixtures do not emit the infrared radiation that the vast majority of HPS fixtures do, and that infrared is what lifted plant temperature above the air around it. Carry an HPS air temperature into an LED room and the leaf runs cold, the \u003cstrong\u003eRuBisCo enzyme\u003c\/strong\u003e works poorly and CO2 assimilation is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasures real plant temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than the air the plant happens to sit in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect integration with the Dimlux Xtreme LED\u003c\/strong\u003e for closed-loop control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting bracket supplied\u003c\/strong\u003e for correct aiming from the fixture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAverages over a large leaf area\u003c\/strong\u003e instead of a single hot spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnderpins proper VPD management\u003c\/strong\u003e, since leaf temperature drives it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Is Your LED Room Growing Slowly at the Right Temperature?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing at air temperature is a no-go under LED. Without infrared from the fixture, plant temperature sits below where you assume it is, and you get slow growth, poor nutrient uptake and low yields in a room whose wall thermometer looks textbook. Plant temperature should be leading, with air temperature used indirectly to control it. It also depends on spectrum, intensity and VPD – green light heats the plant more than other colours – so there is no single ideal air temperature to aim for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount it on the fixture\u003c\/strong\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003ethe same angle as the lighting\u003c\/strong\u003e for the most accurate reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAim it at the most-lit foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the assimilation lighting lands and photosynthesis is actually happening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover as large a leaf area as possible\u003c\/strong\u003e for a true average\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith a high penetration lens\u003c\/strong\u003e, aim so it sees the most foliage and least of anything else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjust air temperature to hit your plant temperature target\u003c\/strong\u003e, then fine-tune on VPD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital plant (leaf) temperature camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dimlux Xtreme LED only - not the older analogue system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounting bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 m as standard; 10 metre version also offered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the fixture, angled to match the lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant temperature-led climate and VPD control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dimlux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53445721620746,"sku":null,"price":252.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/meters-sensors-dimlux-digital-plant-temperature-camera-for-xtreme-led-38066049450199.jpg?v=1785325052","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/dimlux-digital-plant-temperature-camera-for-xtreme-led","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
