SANlight EVO 3-80 1.5 (200W) – LED Grow Light for 80×80 cm with 545 µmol/s
The SANlight EVO 3-80 1.5 is a true workhorse for anyone looking for a premium LED grow light with clean illumination in a compact area. With 200 watts input power and 545 µmol/s PPF, it delivers a lot of usable light – and not just "bright in the middle," but pleasantly evenly distributed over the area thanks to its asymmetric secondary optics. This is precisely what makes it so popular for 80×80 grow tents, indoor gardens, and efficient cultivation areas without unnecessary power consumption.
What makes the EVO 3-80 1.5 special
-
Optimized for 80×80 cm – even light distribution instead of hotspots
-
545 µmol/s at 200W – strong photon output, ideal for ambitious indoor projects
-
> 3 µmol/J – very high efficiency (more light per watt)
-
Full spectrum 400–780 nm – suitable for growth & flowering (one light for the entire cycle)
-
IP65 – robust, dustproof, and well-protected in typical indoor environments
-
Protective secondary optics – easy to clean, protects LEDs from contamination
Area & Applications
Officially, the EVO 3-80 1.5 is designed for 80×80 cm. If you illuminate an 80×50 / 50×80 area, you'll have correspondingly more reserves – practical if you work more compactly or like to fine-tune with a dimmer.

Important: without power cable / power cord
The reason is simple: depending on the setup (cable length, angle, wiring), a "standard cable" doesn't always make sense – which is why the appropriate accessory is chosen separately.
Recommended accessories (makes setup much easier)
For the power connection, you can choose the appropriate cable directly:
Dimming is almost always worthwhile: On 80×80, you can control growth and flowering very precisely with a dimmer – and often save significant electricity during the vegetative phase without slowing down the plants.
Compatibility note: Dimmers are series-specific. Please only use dimmers that are explicitly compatible with the SANlight EVO / EVO 1.5.
Tips & Tricks from Practice (for better results)
-
Dim first, then increase: Especially with fresh plants/seedlings, less is often more. Start moderately and increase gradually – this usually has a positive effect on vitality and growth habit.
-
Distance + Dimmer instead of "too close": If the tips look stressed, it's better to hang it a little higher and readjust. This keeps the illumination more homogeneous over the entire area.
-
Keep optics clean: The secondary optics are designed for protection and light guidance – occasional cleaning (dry/slightly damp, without aggressive agents) keeps the light output constant.
-
Consider climate: More light can only be fully effective if air movement and temperature are right. Gentle air circulation helps to keep the leaf surface stable.

FAQ about the SANlight EVO 3-80 1.5
Which grow box is the EVO 3-80 1.5 ideal for?
It is optimized for 80×80 cm. This gives you very clean area coverage with high light intensity.
Can I use the light for growth and flowering?
Yes. The full spectrum (400–780 nm) is suitable for both phases – you don't have to switch between two lights.
Why is there no power cable included?
Because there are different options depending on the setup (cable length, 90° angle, neat cable routing). This way, you choose exactly the cable that suits your setup.
M-Dimmer or Bluetooth Dimmer – which makes more sense?
The M-Dimmer is the uncomplicated, robust solution. The Bluetooth Dimmer is ideal if you want to conveniently readjust via app – especially practical if you frequently make fine adjustments.
Is the light suitable for humid environments?
The EVO 3-80 1.5 is IP65 classified and thus well protected. Nevertheless, ensure safe mounting and proper connections.
