SANlight EVO 4-80 1.5 (265W) – Premium LED Grow Light for 80×80 cm with 725 µmol/s
The SANlight EVO 4-80 1.5 is an uncompromising LED grow light for anyone who wants maximum control over light intensity and illumination in an 80×80 grow box (or a comparable indoor area). With 265 watts of power consumption and 725 µmol/s PPF, it delivers serious power – and the asymmetric secondary optics ensure a very uniform light distribution instead of classic hotspots in the center.
In short: This is a horticulture LED for ambitious setups, where efficiency, craftsmanship, and practical benefits come together. Ideal if you're looking for a full-spectrum LED that reliably covers growth and flowering – no lamp changes, no frills.
Why this LED Grow Light is So Popular
-
Optimized for 80×80 cm – high homogeneity across the surface
-
725 µmol/s at 265W – strong photon output (PPF) for intense illumination
-
> 3 µmol/J – very efficient (more usable light per watt)
-
Full spectrum 400–780 nm – one lamp for growth & flowering
-
IP65 – robust, dustproof, and splash-proof for typical indoor environments
-
Passively cooled – no fan, no additional noise
-
Protective secondary optics – easier to clean, LEDs remain powerful long-term
Areas of Use & Surfaces
Officially, the EVO 4-80 1.5 is designed for 80×80 cm. On smaller areas like 80×50 cm, you have corresponding reserves – practical if you prefer to use a dimmer, want to hang the lamp higher, or want particularly uniform results. This also makes it interesting for compact indoor gardens and efficient cultivation areas.

Scope of Delivery
- 1× SANlight EVO 4-80 1.5 (265W LED Grow Light)
-
Note: without power connection cable / power cord (selectable separately)
The absence of a power cable is often an advantage in practice: Depending on the setup (cable length, cable routing, space in the tent), "the one" standard cable may not fit. You simply choose the variant that suits your setup.
Recommended Accessories (for Installation & Comfort)
Dimming is almost always worthwhile – especially with such a powerful lamp on 80×80: You can adjust the intensity to the plant stage, distance, and climate, instead of causing stress with "too much light."
Important: Dimmers are series/model dependent. Please only use dimmers that are explicitly compatible with the SANlight EVO / EVO 1.5. A "magnetic dimmer" from other series is not compatible.
Tips & Tricks from Practice
-
Gentle Start: For seedlings/cuttings, dim first and gradually increase. This leads to more stable growth and less stress.
-
Distance + Dimmer instead of "too close": Better to hang a bit higher and adjust the power. This visibly improves uniformity (PPFD distribution).
-
Keep an eye on PPFD/DLI: Especially with 265W on 80×80, it can quickly become "too much" if climate and nutrient uptake don't keep up.
-
Keep optics clean: Dust costs light. Occasional dry wiping of the secondary optics keeps the output stable.
-
Air circulation is a must: Good air movement stabilizes the leaf surface and makes it much easier to handle high light intensities.
FAQ about the SANlight EVO 4-80 1.5
What area is the EVO 4-80 1.5 ideal for?
Primarily for 80×80 cm. On smaller areas like 80×50, you have more reserve and can dim very comfortably.
Can I cover growth and flowering with this lamp?
Yes. The full spectrum (400–780 nm) is suitable for the entire cycle. You control the intensity via dimmer and distance.
Why is a dimmer so frequently recommended?
Because 265W and 725 µmol/s on 80×80 are very intense. With a dimmer, you can better balance plant stage, distance, and climate, and often significantly save electricity during the vegetative phase.
Is the lamp suitable for humid environments?
The EVO 4-80 1.5 is IP65 classified (dustproof and splash-proof) and therefore well-suited for typical indoor conditions. Nevertheless, ensure secure plug connections and proper installation.
Why is no power cable included?
Because setups vary greatly (cable length, 90° angle, cable routing). You simply choose the appropriate cable separately – this is usually the cleanest solution.
