SANlight EVO 4-100 1.5 (265W) – High-Intensity LED Grow Light for 100×50 cm with 725 µmol/s
The SANlight EVO 4-100 1.5 is designed for those who don't want "just any" LED in a 100×50 grow tent or on
100 cm deep surfaces, but a lamp that perfectly covers the area:
265 watts, 725 µmol/s PPF, and an asymmetric secondary optic that directs photons to where they are needed –
with excellent homogeneity instead of hotspot-center-and-edge problems.
Ultimately, this is a true Horticulture LED for ambitious indoor setups: efficient, robust (IP65),
quiet thanks to passive cooling – and powerful enough that dimmers (or even CO₂ in a professional setup for extreme intensities) make sense.
Why the EVO 4-100 1.5 works so well in 100×50
-
Optimized for 100×50 cm – rectangular coverage with very uniform illumination
-
725 µmol/s at 265W – high light output (PPF) for intense illumination
-
> 3 µmol/J – top efficiency (more usable light per watt)
-
Full spectrum 400–780 nm – one LED grow light for growth & flowering
-
IP65 – dustproof & splash-proof, ideal for indoor growing
-
Passively cooled – no fan, no annoying noise
-
Secondary optics – protects the LEDs and is easy to clean
Area & Sensible Setups
As a single luminaire, the EVO 4-100 1.5 is particularly strong for 50×100 / 100×50 cm.
For very high intensities (e.g., in a 1 m² expert setup), sometimes two luminaires per square meter are used –
then dimming (and in a professional environment, CO₂) becomes even more relevant.
Tip: If you want to take it easy, use the reserves to your advantage: hang the lamp a little higher, dim during vegetation,
gradually increase during flowering. This makes growth pattern and climate easier to control.

Scope of Delivery
- 1× SANlight EVO 4-100 1.5 (265W LED plant lighting)
-
Note: without power connection cable / power cord (selectable separately)
The absence of a power cable is often practical: depending on cable length, cable routing, and space in the tent, not every setup is the same.
You simply choose the variant that fits your needs perfectly.
Suitable Accessories (recommended)
Dimming is almost mandatory for the EVO 4-100 because the lamp can be very intense for 100×50 – depending on distance and plant stage.
Here are the suitable options:
Important: Please only use dimmers that are explicitly compatible with the SANlight EVO / EVO 1.5.
Series-specific magnetic dimmers from other ranges are not compatible.
Tips & Tricks (to ensure performance "arrives" effectively)
-
Don't overdo vegetative growth: Start with a dimmer (or more distance), then gradually increase weekly. This usually results in a better growth pattern.
-
Distance + Dimmer instead of "too close": Hanging higher and adjusting power often provides more homogeneous PPFD distribution over 100×50.
-
Climate first, then light: High light intensity only works with stable temperature, adequate air circulation, and appropriate humidity.
-
Keep optics clean: Dust costs light. Occasionally wipe the secondary optics dry/slightly damp – without aggressive cleaners.
-
Manage DLI/PPFD effectively: If you illuminate very intensely, nutrition and irrigation should match the higher photosynthetic performance.
FAQ about the SANlight EVO 4-100 1.5
For what area is the EVO 4-100 1.5 optimal?
As a single luminaire, especially for 100×50 cm (50×100). In 1 m² setups, two luminaires are sometimes used if maximum intensity is desired.
Can I cover both growth and flowering with one lamp?
Yes. The full spectrum (400–780 nm) is suitable for both phases. You control the intensity via dimmer and distance.
Why is there no power cable included?
Because setups differ (cable length, 90° angle, cable routing). This way, you only buy the cable you really need.
M-Dimmer or Bluetooth Dimmer – which is more sensible?
If you want to "set it once and forget it": M-Dimmer. If you often fine-tune or want convenient control via smartphone:
Bluetooth Dimmer.
Is the lamp suitable for high humidity?
The EVO 4-100 1.5 is IP65 classified and thus very well equipped for typical indoor environments. Nevertheless, pay attention to clean plug connections and secure mounting.
