What’s the Difference Between the Emerald Hammer and the Emerald hammer KIT?

Can’t decide what light is right for your grow? Here are the facts to help you decide.

Arden Lighting Tech offers two versions of its cutting-edge LED grow light, the Emerald Hammer. 

 

The standard version, the EH500, comes ready-to-grow straight out of the box. Just plug and plant. We’ve also recently launched a new light, the customizable EH500K. This version comes in a kit with print and video instructions that you use to assemble yourself. With a little electrical skill and about an hour of labor, you can save some money to reinvest elsewhere in your grow.  

Both Emerald Hammer fixtures use eight LM301H Samsung high-output LED boards. A full-spectrum horticulture-specific light spectrum, with additional deep red 660nm light output that works for veg and flower grow cycles. They’re also both painted with antimicrobial, highly-reflective paint and boast 85+ CRI (Color Rendering Index) to keep your grow space top-notch.

Power Supply

EH500

The original Emerald Hammer EH500 includes a 500w Meanwell LED power supply. This power supply comes mounted directly to the heat sink housing with ventilation slits to allow for air-flow and heat distribution.

EH500 KIT

This customizable kit gives you the option of either a 500w Meanwell LED power supply or a 450w Electronics LED power supply. The main difference between these drivers, besides the obvious wattage, is how they are dimmed. 

 

Either option attaches to the back of the heatsink housing with 1-inch standoffs to allow air-flow for heat distribution.

 

Moving the heat sink off of the housing allows the product to be smaller for tight spaces and an easy assembly process. 

Dimming the Emerald Hammer

EH500

EH500 KIT

The Emerald Hammer EH500K features an optional dimmer hand knob or . This knob is quick to install and provides easy control. 

With the 450w Electronics LED power supply dimming leads are easily accessed and can be controlled with a variety of lighting control networks.
