4. Operating Instructions
The Barrina T5 Grow Lights are designed for efficient and flexible operation to support your plants' growth cycles.
Full Spectrum Lighting:
These lights provide a full spectrum of light, which is crucial for all growing stages. The spectrum includes blue light to promote root and leaf development, green light to assist in photosynthesis and regulate growth, red light to promote flowering and fruiting, and far-red light to stimulate cell elongation and regulate flowering.

High PPFD and Energy Efficiency:
Consuming only 40W with 200 LEDs in total, these lights replace 250W general plant lights, offering high Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD). This makes them an excellent choice for plants in seedling, vegetative, and flowering cycles.

Separately Controllable:
Each grow light fixture features an individual ON/OFF switch on its housing. This allows you to control lights separately or together, adjusting the PPFD according to your plants' specific needs.

Recommended Hanging Distances:
- Germination / Seedling: 11.8 - 13.8 inches
- Vegetative / Growing: 11.8 - 13.8 inches
- Flowering / Fruiting: 7.9 - 11.8 inches
