SANlight EVO 5-100 1.5 (340W) – High-Power LED Grow Light with 915 µmol/s for Maximum Intensity
If you're looking for an LED grow light that isn't just "bright," but also delivers real power even at a greater distance, the SANlight EVO 5-100 1.5 is in its element. With a power consumption of 340 watts and a solid 915 µmol/s PPF, it provides an enormous amount of usable plant light (PAR) – ideal for setups where you need high intensities or more distance to the plant canopy.
The key lies in the combination of a highly efficient light engine (> 3 µmol/J) and the asymmetrical secondary optics. This gives you strong penetration, practical illumination, and at the same time a real everyday advantage: the optics protect the LEDs and are easy to clean – ensuring long-term stable performance.
Highlights at a Glance
-
915 µmol/s at 340W – very high photon output for intense illumination
-
> 3 µmol/J efficiency – more light per watt, less unnecessary energy loss
-
Full spectrum 400–780 nm – suitable for growth & bloom
-
Asymmetrical secondary optics – good homogeneity & strong penetration
-
IP65 – dust-tight & splash-proof (perfect for indoor climates)
-
Passive cooling – no fan, no noise, low maintenance
Which Area is the EVO 5-100 1.5 Suitable For?
The EVO 5-100 1.5 is a high-intensity plant lamp. It is often used when a lot of light is required even at a greater distance (e.g., open spaces, high ceilings, large-volume setups). In classic grow tent applications, the power is so high that dimming is almost always useful in practice – depending on target values (PPFD/DLI), plant stage, and climate.

-
Note: without power connection cable / power cord (sold separately)
Recommended Accessories (for a clean, stress-free setup)
Since no power cable is included, simply choose the variant that suits your cable management:
Dimming is particularly worthwhile here: The EVO 5-100 is so powerful that you can manage plant stages and climate much more easily via the dimmer.
Important: Please only use dimmers that are explicitly compatible with SANlight EVO / EVO 1.5. Series-specific magnetic dimmers from other ranges are not compatible.
Practical Tips & Tricks
-
Work with reserves: Start with less power during veg (dimmer) and gradually increase. This often leads to calmer, more compact growth.
-
Cleverly use distance: This lamp can deliver high PPFD even at a greater distance – helpful if you want to avoid hot spots and illuminate more evenly.
-
Keep an eye on PPFD/DLI: If you illuminate very intensely, nutrient supply, temperature, and humidity must match. More light also means more "throughput."
-
Keep optics clean: Dust costs photons. Occasionally wipe the secondary optics dry or slightly damp (no aggressive cleaners).
-
Climate is the multiplier: Strong air circulation + stable temperatures will give you more than "another 10% more watts."
FAQ for SANlight EVO 5-100 1.5
Is the EVO 5-100 1.5 suitable for a grow tent?
Yes – but it is a very powerful light. In tent setups, dimming (and a clean climate setup) is practically mandatory to match intensity and plant stage.
Can I cover growth and bloom with one lamp?
Yes. The full spectrum (400–780 nm) is suitable for both phases. You adjust the intensity via dimmer and distance.
Why is no power connection cable included?
Because setups vary (cable length, angle, cable routing, combination of multiple lights). This way, you only buy what you really need.
M-Dimmer or Bluetooth Dimmer – which is better?
The M-Dimmer is simple and robust. The Bluetooth Dimmer is worthwhile if you frequently make fine adjustments or want convenient control via app.
Is the lamp suitable for high humidity?
Yes. Due to IP65, the light is well protected against dust and splash water – ideal for typical indoor environments. Nevertheless, ensure secure plug connections and stable mounting.
