An under-powered light leaves the edges of the canopy stretching towards the centre, while a single hot lamp cooks the middle and drives humidity down. The Elite Split deals with both. Joined, its eight bars lay \u003cstrong\u003e2900 µmol\/s\u003c\/strong\u003e evenly over a large canopy for uniform growth, less excessive stretch and consistent flowering from edge to centre. Split, it becomes two 500W lights so a vegetative area and a flowering area run at the same time. LED bars also put far less radiant heat onto the leaves than a 1000W HPS lamp, which makes temperature and humidity easier to hold in a grow tent or grow room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs one 1000W light:\u003c\/strong\u003e hang the joined fixture level and central over a canopy of around \u003cstrong\u003e1.5m x 1.5m\u003c\/strong\u003e, or up to \u003cstrong\u003e1.8m x 1.8m\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs two 500W lights:\u003c\/strong\u003e separate the halves and hang one over each space; each runs from its own integrated driver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart dimmed\u003c\/strong\u003e over seedlings and cuttings, then raise output through vegetative growth towards \u003cstrong\u003e100%\u003c\/strong\u003e for flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatch the top leaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e raise or dim the light if leaf tips bleach or curl upwards, and lower it if plants stretch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch it from a \u003cstrong\u003etimer\u003c\/strong\u003e, or connect a compatible external lighting controller to the \u003cstrong\u003eRJ port\u003c\/strong\u003e.\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\u003ePower draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1000W joined, or 2 x 500W when split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePPF:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2900 µmol\/s (joined)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficacy:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.9 µmol\/J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elite Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Split LED 500W\/1000W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpectrum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full spectrum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 1.5m x 1.5m, up to 1.8m x 1.8m (joined)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eight LED bars in two four-bar halves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated, one per half; no external ballast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimming:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25–100%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl:\u003c\/strong\u003e RJ port for compatible external lighting controllers; linkable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passive, fanless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #e6e6e6;border-radius:8px;padding:12px 16px;margin:0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;\"\u003eCan I run the two halves in separate tents?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 0;\"\u003eYes.
