5.4 Spectrum Modes
Choose from three different spectrum modes optimized for various plant growth stages:
- Mode A (Nursery/Seed Starting): Ideal for germination and early growth of low-light plants like succulents, cacti, rubber plants, and ivy. (3350K)
- Mode B (Flowering): Promotes flowering and fruiting in plants such as cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, orchids, and chrysanthemums. (Purple light)
- Mode C (Full Spectrum): Provides a balanced spectrum similar to natural sunlight, suitable for sun-loving plants like tomatoes, peppers, and kale, supporting overall growth. (2800K)

6. Plant Care Guidelines
Optimal light distance and PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) vary by plant growth stage:
| Growth Stage | Required PPFD (µmol/m²s) | Light Distance (inches) | Example Plants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germination | 100-200 | 4-6 | Low-light plants, seedlings, succulents, cacti, pothos |
| Growth | 200-400 | 4-12 | Various plants that require leaf growth |
| Flowering | 250-600 | 6-12 | Plants needing high light: vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowering plants |
The robust aluminum structure of the DOMMIA grow lights ensures excellent heat dissipation, preventing heat buildup and extending the lifespan of the LED chips. This allows for stable and efficient lighting even in humid environments.
