LIGHT OUTPUT
The Alpha features Scynce’s newest optical technology called the Linear 70. The 70˚ distribution angle has eective penetration of
light into the crop and is typically used in high ceiling single-level indoor or greenhouse applications where the fixtures need to be
mount 3+ feet over the canopy.
LINEAR 70 OPTIC
Luminous Intensity Distribution Curve
OPTICAL DISTRIBUTION
The luminosity distribution curve for the Linear 70 is depicted below. This optic oers a higher intensity that is evenly distributed
across the 70˚ beam. By controlling the beam with optics, light energy is gathered and focused, taking full advantage of the LED
directed radiation pattern. If you need assistance with fixture layout to achieve a desired PAR level at the canopy contact your sales
representative, we can help.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
All Scynce fixtures have built-in dynamic thermal
monitoring. In addition, the Alpha fixture utilizes
an active cooling system. Should the light begin
to overheat, the fan will automatically increase
in speed. If the light continues to overheat the
onboard processor will automatically reduce output
to protect the light while still maintaining a minimal
level of output.
To ensure safe operation of the lighting equipment
it is necessary to control the temperature of
the room by mechanical ventilation or cooling
system to below the maximum ambient operating
temperature of 40°C (104°F).
Never block the cooling ports on the Dragon Fixtures.
Doing so will cause the performance of the product to
reduce and may cause permanent damage.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Alpha fixture equipped with a NEMA L7-15 plug on the cowling.
Installed the cable provided by Scynce into the plug and rotate
clockwise to lock. Make sure that the plug is fully seated prior
to rotating to lock (See Fig. 2). Slip the rubber boot over the
plug collar on the cowling, this is to insure that water does not
enter the plug. Plug the light in and you are ready to go. Always
ensure that fixture installation is compliant with local
When routing the fixture power cord ensure that;
• The cord is not concealed or extended through a
wall, floor, ceiling, or other parts of the building
structure.
• The cord is not located above a suspended ceiling
or dropped ceiling.
• The cord is not permanently axed to the
building structure.
• The cord is routed so that it is not subject to
strain and is protected from physical damage.
• The cord is visible over its entire length.
To ensure safe operation of the lighting equipment it is necessary to
control the temperature of the room by mechanical ventilation or
cooling system to below the maximum ambient operating temperature
of 40ºC (104ºF).
• THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE
INSTALLATION CODE BY A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH
THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE
PRODUCT AND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED
ATTENTION
INSTALLING THE FIXTURE
INSTALLATION PREP
1. Switch o main voltage
2. Refer to your light plan. Arrange boxed light fixtures in
specified mounting locations.
3. Remove the fixture from the packaging and
check contents.
4. Gather any additional tools and/or hardware that may
be required to mount the fixture.
MOUNTING THE LIGHT FIXTURE
The Alpha fixture is designed to be hung using the hangers at either end
of the fixture’s cowling. The hangers can be installed to the cowling by;
a. Orientate the hanger parallel to the cowling and align the ends of the hanger with
the insert tabs in the cowling.
b. Insert the hanger ends into the tabs in the cowling.
c. Rotate the hanger upward through the tabs in the cowling
The Alpha fixture hangers are equipped with three featured shapes to assist when
hanging; 1-3/8” (35 mm) square, 1-3/8” (35 mm) round, and 3/4” (19 mm) round.
When mounting the Dragon fixtures in an array, a minimum distance of 8 inches
side to side and a minimum distance of 1 inch end to end must be maintained. When
mounting next to a ceiling or wall, movable partitions, and the like, insure a minimum
distance of 1.5 inches (38 mm) is between the fixture and the ceiling and 8 inches
(203 mm) between the fixture and the wall and other surfaces.

channels of LEDs (White 3000K, White 6500K,
Red 660nm, and Red 720nm. Each channel can be
independently dimmed from 0% to 100%. Channel
dimming can be adjusted on-demand using the mobile
app (See Mobile App Instructions for details) or by
setting up an embedded schedule in the light (See
Scheduling Instructions for details).
