Operating Instructions
The Northpoint Smart LED Plant Lamp features intuitive touch controls on its base.
- Power On/Off: Touch the power button on the base to turn the LED light on or off.
- Timer Function: The lamp is equipped with an integrated timer that provides optimal light cycles for plant growth, typically 16 hours on and 8 hours off. This cycle is pre-set to mimic natural daylight patterns.
- Brightness Adjustment: Touch the brightness control button to cycle through different light intensity levels. Adjust as needed for your plants' specific growth stage.
- Water Management: Regularly check the water level indicator. Refill the reservoir when the water level is low to ensure continuous hydration for your plants. Use the funnel for easy refilling.
- Height Adjustment: As your plants grow, adjust the height of the LED lamp panel to maintain an optimal distance from the plant canopy. This ensures even light distribution and prevents burning.

- Substrate Replacement: Replace the Smart-Soil growing substrate pods after each growth cycle or when they show signs of degradation to ensure optimal plant health.
