Safety
Please read this manual thoroughly before assembling and installing the MIGRO grow light
system

Please retain this manual for reference for the lifetime for the product


The MIGRO system limits the voltage in the grow room to 102 Vdc and has
built in protection for overcurrent, shorts or overheating. However, to
minimise any remaining risk please switch the power off while installing and
adjusting the MIGRO system.
If the mains plug needs to be changed to suit your power socket only a
qualified person should carry out this work, in accordance with your local
codes.
The MIGRO system will operate on a supply voltage ranging from 90V to 305V AC and from
47 to 63Hz frequency. Any other supply voltage will damage the lighting system.

The grow light and the cabling from the LED driver to the grow light is IP67 rated and can be
used in a wet area. The mains power plug is not IP rated for a wet area and should be located
in a dry area outside of the grow room. If the cable insulation or glands are damaged switch
off the system immediately and return to us for repair.


The MIGRO grow light has a highly efficient and passive cooling heatsink.
In order to function correctly air must be able to flow freely across the fins
of the heatsink. Do not cover the grow light and restrict the airflow across
the heatsink under any circumstances. This will result in heat build up which
may damage the grow light and/or cause a fire.
Do not put the grow light down on any surface when the light is on. The light intensity and
radiated heat may damage the surface.


The light intensity from each MIGRO grow light is very high. If you look
directly at the light source from less than 9” away the intensity is
equivalent to the sun. To protect your eyes do not look directly at the
light source when less than 60cm or 2 feet away.

How much light plants need for maximum yield
To optimise your grow it is recommended that your plants receive 500-1,000 µmols
of PAR light for every m² (PPFD). Less than this and growth rates and yield will be
low.

Growth rates at higher PPFD levels do not justify the extra energy cost and heat
output and the plants require additional CO₂ to utilise the high PAR intensity.

System hardware overview
MIGRO grow light and mounting bracket
Electrical rating: 51V DC, 2000mA & consumes 107 Watts
LED: Luminus COB
Single grow light PPFD (PAR output): 233 µmols
Lumen output: 18,800 lm
Max operating temperature: 35 ° C or 95 ° F.
(Operating the MIGRO at higher ambient temperatures will
reduce the performance and operating life)
Grow light can be tilted 180 ° and fixed in position.


Electrical connection cable
The 2.5 metre long connecting cables between the LED driver and the grow light are high
temperature rated cables and have an ingress protection (IP) rating of IP67 which means
they can be located in a wet area.



Where two grow lights are paired to one LED driver the wiring is in series. This means both
grow lights need to be connected for the lights to come on. If necessary one grow light can
be connected directly to the output of an LED driver for two grow lights. This will not
damage the grow light or driver.

Please ensure the connectors are connected correctly and glands screwed tight by hand
prior to switching on.

Lens
The Lens is an 90 degree lens with diffused pattern to
spread a wide illumination so that you can grow close to the
light. The lens material is borosilicate glass for ultra high
efficiency

Breather
At the opposite end to the cable entry there is a breather
vent. This allows the air to expand and contract inside the
lamp so that no condensation builds up. It also reduces
stress on the seals, prolonging their life. The vent allows
gases through its filter but not liquid.



LED driver
The LED driver is highly efficient and reliable constant current transformer and has inbuilt
protection from:
●Output over voltage
●Over temperature
●Short circuits
In the event of any of the above the driver will shut down. The driver will automatically
restart if the conditions return to normal.

The driver and the mains plug connection should be located outside of the grow area in a
dry and safe position with adequate ventilation. The life of the LED driver is related to its
operating temperature. Keeping it as cool as possible will extend its life.

The driver is dimmer controlled and has an inbuilt dial for
adjusting the output from 10% to 100%.

Assembly instructions
MIGRO grow light
Each grow light is mounted in a stainless
steel bracket & fixed with two M5 stainless
steel thumbscrews. To adjust the tilt of the
lamp loosen the thumbscrews, tilt the grow
light, and re-tighten the thumbscrews by
hand.
Do not over tighten the thumbscrews or
the threads in the heat sink may be
damaged.

The grow light can be fitted to a MIGRO hanger or customer specified frame using either the
M5 stainless steel thumb screws provided or with any suitable fixings adequate to take the
hanging load of the grow light.

When fixing the stainless steel bracket to a wall, beam or anything else it is easiest to
unscrew the bracket from the grow light first. You can then comfortably align the bracket in
position, drill the necessary holes, fix the bracket and refix the lamp in the bracket. Be
careful to retain and reinstall the nylon washers between the grow light heatsink and the
mounting bracket when reassembling. When fixing the bracket to a surface that is not
horizontal at least two 6mm fixings should be used to account for the cantilever forces on
the fixings in this arrangement.

Airflow and ventilation
Whatever position the grow light is fixed always ensure there is adequate room for airflow
around the fins of the heatsink to prevent heat buildup. The clearance above the heatsink
when fixed in the stainless steel bracket is adequate provided the ventilation system in the
growing space is drawing air from above the top level of the heatsink. There should be at
least 15cm or 6” clearance adjacent on at least three sides of each grow light to facilitate
adequate airflow.

Driver and Lamp operating temperature
The light heatsink and driver both operate at about 20 deg. C or 70 F above ambient
temperature. So at 25 degrees C or 77 F room temp the driver and heatsink will be about 45
deg. C or 115 F. This is perfectly normal and is totally safe. To minimise the temperature locate
the driver down low at the air intake and have the outtake moving air across the heatsink.
If the driver case temperature gets to 90 DegC or 195 F the output current will be reduced. If
the temperature does not reduce then it powers off until temperatures have reduced.

Maintenance
The MIGRO grow light system requires almost no maintenance. In ordinary use the only
maintenance required is to keep the fins in the heatsink and the lens surface clean. This will
ensure the cooling performance and light output are maintained, respectively.

To clean all of the components switch off the power and use warm water and soap with a
damp cloth. Do not under any circumstances use a solvent, acid based or an abrasive cleaner
on any of the components. Doing so may damage the finish of the product and the electrical
and lens seals.
