At above 3.0 µmol\/J efficacy, it produces more usable light per watt than any equivalent HPS fixture, runs completely silent with passive cooling, and is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty with a rated lifespan exceeding 90,000 hours. For Australian growers running a quality 80x80cm tent, this is the light that matches the space correctly rather than being oversized or undersized for the footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the EVO 3-80 Is Designed Specifically for 80x80cm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80x80cm footprint is where many LED grow lights underperform. Fixtures designed for 60x60cm are pushed beyond their optimal coverage area, producing intensity drop-off at the edges and uneven plant development. Fixtures designed for 120x120cm distribute their output too broadly across the smaller space, wasting photons and running higher wattage than the canopy requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO 3-80 is built for 80x80cm specifically, with asymmetric secondary optics at 90 to 112 degrees that distribute 725 µmol\/s PPF evenly across the full 0.64m2 canopy from centre to edge. The result is consistent plant development, reduced stretching at the canopy perimeter, and uniform flowering quality across every part of the growing area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Advantages for Australian Growers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe efficiency advantage of the EVO 3-80 over HPS is particularly relevant in Australia. At current electricity rates averaging 30 to 35 cents per kWh across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, a 200W LED producing the same photon output as a 400W HPS saves approximately $10 to $12 per week in electricity on that light alone. Over a 10-week flowering cycle that is $100 to $120 per cycle per light, before factoring in the reduced cooling load from less radiant heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAustralian summers present a specific challenge for LED growers. The EVO 3-80 produces minimal radiant heat compared to HPS, which reduces the heat management burden during heatwaves. The passive fanless aluminium heatsink has no moving parts to fail and generates no noise, which is relevant for growers running tents in shared living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the EVO 3-80 Pairs With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVO 3-80 is matched precisely to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/homebox-ambient-q80-plus-grow-tent\"\u003eHOMEbox Ambient Q80+\u003c\/a\u003e with its PAR+ reflective lining, which redirects photons that would otherwise hit the tent walls back into the canopy. Running an EVO 3-80 in a Q80+ captures a measurably higher proportion of the fixture's output compared to standard mylar tents.

At 725 µmol\/s PPF across an 80x80cm footprint, the EVO 3-80 delivers 600 to 700+ µmol\/m2\/s at canopy level, which is within the target range for most flowering crops at standard atmospheric CO2. For growers running CO2 supplementation above 1000 ppm, the EVO 5-120 provides additional intensity headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the SANlight EVO 3-80 compare to HPS?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 200W EVO 3-80 produces equivalent or greater photon output to a 400W HPS while consuming half the electricity, generating significantly less radiant heat, and requiring no bulb replacements. The full spectrum including Far-Red also improves canopy penetration compared to the yellow-weighted output of HPS.

LED components are sourced from Osram (Germany) and Seoul Semiconductor (South Korea).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the EVO 3-80 need a separate driver or ballast?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The driver is integrated into the fixture. Plug into a standard Australian 240V power point and hang at the recommended height above your canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hanging height should I use for the EVO 3-80?\u003c\/strong\u003e SANlight recommends 20 to 40cm above the canopy for most growing applications. Raise the fixture during early vegetative growth and lower it as the canopy develops. The passive fanless design means heat emission is minimal so closer hanging distances are safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SANlight (Austria)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e EVO 3-80 Series 1.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200W true draw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePPF:\u003c\/strong\u003e 725 µmol\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficacy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Above 3.0 µmol\/J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpectrum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full spectrum 400 to 780nm including Far-Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80x80cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeam angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asymmetric 90 to 112 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passive fanless aluminium heatsink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Above 90,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SANlight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43241530490943,"sku":"SL-380","price":799.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/6898\/8479\/files\/EVO_3-100_1250px.jpg?v=1778384315","url":"https:\/\/apexgrow.com.au\/products\/sanlight-evo-3-80-250w-led-grow-light","provider":"Apex Grow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
