the science of yield
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).
LIGHT OUTPUT
The Dragon XL1200 & XL600 have two distribution optical angle options. 70˚ distribution angle has eective penetration of
light into the crop and is typically used in greenhouse applications where the fixtures need to be mount 6+ feet over the canopy.
120˚ distribution angle has exceptional uniformity of the light onto the crop and is our standard option for indoor, warehouse and
greenhouse where 100% artificial light is required.
120º OPTIC 70° OPTICS
Luminous Intensity Distribution Curve Luminous Intensity Distribution Curve
OPTICAL DISTRIBUTION
The luminosity distribution curve for the 70˚ and 120˚ optics are depicted below. The 120˚ optic oers intensity (radiated energy) that is
slightly brighter on the outside of the beam. When hanging fixtures with 120˚ optic it is important to overlap the beams to achieve an even
intensity on the plant canopy. The 70˚ 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 plant contact your Scynce sales representative, we can help.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
All Scynce fixtures have built-in dynamic thermal
monitoring. The Dragon XL 1200/XL 600 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.
Never block the cooling ports on the Dragon XL1200
& XL 600. Doing so will cause the performance of the
product to reduce and may cause permanent damage.

ENERGY DISTRIBUTION
PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) is a region of the electromagnetic spectrum (400 to 700 nm) that
promotes photosynthesis.
PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux) tells us how much PAR a light-source emits. PPF does not measure PAR at a
specific location (such as your crop canopy), but it tells you how many photons within the PAR region are coming
out of the light source every second.
PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) measures the number of photons within the PAR region at a specific
location (such as your crop canopy) every second. Most PAR meters report PPFD (μmol/m2/s) measurements.
* For more detailed PAR maps, including how the fixtures work in an array, please visit: www.scynce.ag
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Always adhere to the local building and electrical codes
when installing or using the fixture.
• HIGH VOLTAGE- Switch o the main voltage before
commencing installation or maintenance work.
• Do not open or disassemble the fixture, it contains no
serviceable parts inside. Opening the fixture can be
dangerous and will void the warranty.
• Never look directly into the light source while fixture is
turned on. Doing so can cause damage to the eyes.
• The end user is responsible for ensuring correct installation
and use of the product. Incorrect installation can cause
damage to the product. The warranty shall become void if
the product and/or electronic components are damaged
due to incorrect installation.
• The performance of the fixture may be compromised
if operated outside of the recommended ambient
temperature guidelines.

a. 120 degrees is the ideal optic for indoor and vertical applications. The fixtures can be mounted between 12” (for vegetables) and
36” (for taller flowering plants) over the canopy.
b. 70 degrees - This will be ideal for greenhouses and indoor applications where the fixtures need to be mounted much higher and
further away from the canopy.

ATTENTION
INSTALLING THE FIXTURE
INSTALLATION PREP
MOUNTING THE LIGHT FIXTURE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
CONTROLING THE LIGHT
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.
The Dragon XL 1200/LX 600 is designed to hung using the mounting brackets at either end
of the fixture’s cowling. There are four mounting hole options, each of which will aim the
fixture at a dierent angle. The optional aiming angles are; 0° 15°, 30°, and 45°.
See Figure 1 for additional details.
When mounting the Dragon XL1200 or XL600 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 is between the fixture and the ceiling and 8 inches between the fixture and the
wall and other adjacent objects.
Dragon XL 1200/XL 600 is equipped with a 7ft power cord,
terminated with a standard wall pug (NEMA 5-15).
Simply plug the light in and you are ready to go.
Always ensure that fixtures are compliant with local building codes.
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.
Dragon XL 1200/XL 600 is equipped with four
independent channels of LEDs (White 2700K, White
4200K, White 6000K, and Red 600 nm). 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).
