Key Features
Light Engine Features:
The light engine consists of 27 individually controlled sets of LEDs with different peak wavelengths. A special optical lens system ensures perfect color mixing for each spot on the solar cell. Built-in spectrometer and intensity sensor in combination with calibration routine make re-calibration very simple.
| Light source |
Multiple individually controlled sets of LEDs with different peak wavelengths |
