HORTICULTURE
Let Your Plants React, Go Beyond Static Spectrum
Helux high power systems add spectrum flexibility to horticultural fixtures, allowing for the implementation of custom spectra recipes that can change over the grow cycle, for different plants or even on a daily cycle. With the design of a custom LED module optimized for the APT controllers and the desired spectra and intensities, calibrated outputs can be achieved in a simple and flexible architecture.
STADIUM LIGHTS
Simplify High Intensity Color Control
Helux high power systems have no perceivable flicker and are ideal for high intensity solutions that will be used to project light on people and surfaces on camera. Each color channel can be controlled independently from a central management system or calibrated configurations can be saved locally. With the design of a custom LED module optimized for the APT controllers, thermal issues in the fixtures can be minimized and the overall system can maximize efficiency.

FAQ
No, channels do not need to have their forward voltages matched as each channel is controlled independently. There are limits to the voltage difference between the input voltage from the constant voltage driver and the forward voltage of the LED channel that are approved. Please see the applicable Data Sheet.
Yes, Arkalumen can configure the controllers before shipping. If you provide your desired configuration settings, Arkalumen will provide a unique internal code that is part of the part number that can be ordered.
Yes, the Helux controllers can be configured using the APT Programmer. Please see the APT Programmer page for more details.
Yes. The APT-HX5 comes with a DMX512/RDM input as standard and Casambi BLE Mesh is an optional addition.
APT-HX5 controllers use an IP65 rated encasement, which is rated as dust tight and protected against water projected from a nozzle.
