PhytoMAX-4 8S Grow Light

At 500 watts, the PhytoMAX-4 8S light delivers 1063 μmol/s of light, perfect for medium-size coverage areas.

 

PhytoMAX-4 Features

Unparalleled Yield and Quality

PhytoMAX-4 lights are designed to grow the highest-quality and highest-quantity harvests. Rather than striving for the highest-possible photons per watt, PhytoMAX-4 is designed to give the highest yield per watt while maximizing terpenes, pigments and cannabinoid production.

Experience

Black Dog has been perfecting grow lights and supporting our customers since 2010- we're among the oldest LED grow light manufacturers still in existence.

Customer Support

We've grown thousands of different kinds of plants with our lights ourselves, and our customer support is second-to-none, ranging from lighting questions to garden issues. If you're growing 4 plants or 40,000 we've got the experience to help.

Dimmable

Dimmable from 15% - 100% with industry-standard 0-10V dimming controllers.

Active Cooling

PhytoMAX-4 increases efficiency and maximizes lifespan by actively cooling the LEDs. Cooler LEDs run more efficiently and have a longer lifespan, especially for the specialty UV and violet LEDs we use. While fans are a moving part, we've never had one fail in tens of thousands of lights over the past 13 years, plus our patented design includes multiple redundant fans. Even if one were to fail, your light will keep running just fine..

Designed and Assembled in Colorado

We utilize only the highest-quality parts and have been perfecting the PhytoMAX design for over 8 years- these lights are built to last!

 

The Phyto-Genesis Spectrum

Don’t be fooled by the imitations with their limitations.

The Phyto-Genesis Spectrum has been finely-tuned to not just grow plants, but to grow more-compact, more productive and higher-quality flowers, fruit and leaves. Unlike most LED grow lights that use white or white and red LEDs, we incorporate 8 different LED colors to target specific responses from the plants, known as photomorphogenesis.

Our spectrum triggers plants' hormonal response to different colors of light and the ratio of these colors to minimize stem growth while maximizing flower and fruit production. Compact, bushier plants are not only easier to work with but also maximize yield per square foot.


Ultraviolet

3% ultraviolet light (<400nm) mimics the sun's natural UV light, keeping plants bushier and more compact, more resistant to pathogens and insects, and producing more terpenes and pigments.

Unlike supplemental UV light bars, PhytoMAX-4 evenly distributes UV light across the entire growing area, and at a concentration that gives your plants the benefits of ultraviolet throughout the entire growing cycle, not just restricted to the last couple weeks of flower.

Infrared / Far Red

Infrared / far red light (700-750nm) increases photosynthetic efficiency through the Emerson Effect. Too much can cause stem elongation but when paired with the right ratio of red and blue light as in the Phyto-Genesis Spectrum, it increases yields.

Violet

Violet light (400-450nm) better penetrates dense plant canopies to nourish lower leaves, allowing high-quality flowers and fruit to grow lower on the plant.

Blue

Blue light (450-480nm) triggers chlorophyll B photosynthesis more efficiently than green or yellow light, and helps keep leaves more compact for better canopy penetration.

Red

Red light (600-700nm) drives photosynthesis, but can also cause plants to elongate their stems if not matched with an appropriate amount of blue light.

As soon as you place the order, an order confirmation will be emailed to you. This means we have received your order and payment. Payment is captured as soon as the order is placed. In rare cases, if the product is on backorder or unavailable, we will contact you and ask if you would like to wait for the product to become available, switch your product, or have your payment refunded. If the item is available for shipment we will submit the order for processing and arrange shipment. Please see current estimated lead times on the product page for each product. 

***We cannot change the shipping address after the order is placed.***

Order Shipment

Most products ship within 2 to 3 business days from the date of your order (unless indicated on the product page). Some items take a bit longer to ship since they are built to order (i.e. ChilLED Tech, Trimmers, etc). We will send you tracking information as soon as it is available. If a week has gone by and you do not have tracking information yet, please reach out to us.

U.S. Shipping

We are based in Portland, Oregon with warehouses nationwide. We offer FREE shipping in the lower 48 states (sometimes to HI and AK, too) via FedEx, UPS, USPS or other major couriers (product/brand dependent). Expedited shipping is usually available for an extra cost. Contact us before your purchase if you prefer an expedited shipping method and we will get you a quote.

After the order is processed, allow 2 to 7 business days for the product(s) to reach you if shipped to a U.S. address. We can ship to PO boxes in some cases. We recommend using a street/residential address instead.

International Orders

Nearly all of our brands can be shipped internationally using FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL or other couriers. Most quotes can be obtained at checkout.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel your order, we recommend reaching out to us ASAP. We charge a 2.9% (credit card), 3.5% (PayPal/Venmo), 4.0% (PayPal International), 4.1% (American Express), or 6.5% (Shop Pay Installments or Sezzle) order cancellation fee after the order was received. We can accommodate most requests, but due to the different time zones and schedules that our warehouses ship from, sometimes the cancellation request may not reach the warehouse in time before the product ships. Once the item has been arranged to ship or has shipped, the package will be treated like a 'return' and is subject to ship-back fees and restocking fees. If you purchased 'Route Package Protection', this can not be refunded after the order has shipped. 

All EZTrim orders are final and non-refundable or returnable.

Returns

A 5-25% restocking fee (brand dependent) may apply for returns within the dates of the return policy. Reach out to us for exact return instructions and restocking fees for the item(s) that you purchased since these vary by brand. 'Route Package Protection' cannot be refunded if an item is returned en route or after you receive it.
