Bloomstar ePAR Meter – Precise Light Measurement for Growers from 400–750 nm
The Bloomstar ePAR Meter is a high-precision handheld measuring device for anyone who wants to professionally control their grow lighting in a plant-optimized way. Unlike simple lux or PAR meters, this device not only measures the PAR range (400–700 nm) but also the far-red light up to 750 nm, which is crucial for many plants. This makes it the first choice for demanding indoor growers who work with modern LED grow lights and want to keep optimal track of their PPFD and DLI values.
🌿 Why an ePAR meter?
Studies show that wavelengths in the 700–750 nm range contribute significantly to photosynthesis. The ePAR sensor captures this extended range, allowing for a realistic evaluation of your grow lighting. Additionally, the Daily Light Integral (DLI) value is displayed – essential to avoid over or under-supply.
📊 Technical Highlights
PPFD measuring range: 0–4000 µmol/m²/s
Spectral range: 400–750 nm including far-red
Simultaneous display of PPFD & DLI
DLI individually adjustable (e.g., 12, 16, or 18 hours)
Helpful for CO₂ adjustment and electricity cost optimization
Ideal for LED grows, greenhouses, vertical farming & indoor projects
🛠️ Application & Practical Tips
Select the DLI time according to your lighting phase (e.g., 18 h veg, 12 h bloom)
Place the sensor at plant level for accurate PPFD measurement
Research DLI target values for your plant species (e.g., “Basil DLI”)
Avoid excessively high light intensity – saves electricity and promotes healthy growth

❓ Frequently Asked Questions about the ePAR Meter
Why isn't a normal lux meter sufficient? Lux meters evaluate light for the human eye. However, the photosynthetically active spectrum (ePAR) is crucial for plants.
What does the DLI value do for me? The DLI value provides information about the daily amount of light – so you can see if you are under or over-supplying your plants.
Is the device suitable for LED grow lights? Yes – it is specifically designed for modern LED systems that also contain far-red components in their spectrum.
How often should I measure? Optimally: regularly when changing lamps, adjusting height, or during plant growth – for reliable optimization of your lighting strategy.
Ich erhielt nachdem ich einen Defekt mit dem Plastikdichtungsring bei Vetter-Grow gemeldet hatte, innerhalb von 10 Minuten eine Antwort und mir wurde Ersatz angeboten. Das nenne ich Service. Vielen Dank
