BIOS Icarus^® Vi LED Grow Light.

The BIOS Icarus^® Vi is the agricultural industry’s only industrial grade LED fixture specifically designed for commercial vertical farming applications. Extremely thin with brackets that slide into racking systems, the Icarus Vi LED Grow Light has tempered glass covering the LEDs, allowing for easy cleaning and wet-rated protection with a guaranteed 5 year warranty.

Measuring only 1.5” high and available in both high output (HO) and low output (LO) versions, the Icarus Vi fixture reduces crop space and increases the indoor farm’s volume efficiency. Compared to the individual LED bars other manufacturers offer, the Icarus Vi significantly reduces installation time and cost and can be easily cleaned, reducing build-up on the diodes and eliminating light depreciation over time. The Vi has HID equivalent PAR levels and uniform lighting across the crop canopy. The optimized broad-light spectrum maximizes photosynthesis, plant growth, and quality; while also providing a broad, visually acceptable spectrum that allows for an accurate assessment of crop status.

Engineered for science, this unique industrial grade fixture fills the market need for a low profile, high output, energy efficient and cost competitive option that is lacking in the LED grow light market today.

Features and Benefits

Traditional off-board Class I LED driver power or optional centralized Class II digital electricity (VoltServer) to minimize installation costs and increase system efficiency
Universal rack system mounting features for improved ease of installation – ideal for 3’ or 4’ racking systems
Glass optics for spot-free cleaning and optimal light transmission in commercial crop production environments
Suitable spectrum for all phases of plant growth; scientifically engineered to maximize photosynthesis
3x more blue radiation than HPS to promote improved plant morphology and quality
40% less energy required to produce an equivalent amount of delivered PAR as 1000W HPS
Greater than 50% overall system efficiency as compared to 1000W HID
Up to 70% greater PAR photon efficacy than 1000W HPS
Passive cooling design eliminate inferior features such as fans, moving parts and noise
Sustainable and environmentally-friendly mercury-free lighting source compared to HID and fluorescent lighting systems requiring hazardous waste disposal
Specifically designed for indoor crop production, vertical farming systems, growth chambers, retro-fits of existing HID/fluorescent, or new construction grow facilities
