Faven – Controlador Chroma CX2

Light Strategy Applied to Yield

Modern horticultural lighting goes far beyond simple on/off control. The CX2 allows growers to structure a lighting strategy based on:

• Progressive PPFD management by phenological stage
• Controlled transitions between vegetative growth and flowering
• Spectral manipulation to modulate plant architecture
• Scheduled far-red activation to influence morphogenic responses
• Daily photoperiod stability without fluctuations

In commercial cultivation, uniformity and repeatability are critical. The CX2 creates a stable and reproducible lighting environment, eliminating variations caused by imprecise manual adjustments.

Independent 2-Channel Control

The system incorporates two fully independent control lines, allowing:

✔ Precise intensity regulation (true dimming)
✔ Spectral balance adjustment according to growth stage
✔ Dedicated programming of the far-red channel
✔ Direct manual control or scheduled programming
✔ Scalable management by rows of luminaires

This approach allows growers to adapt light density without compromising uniformity or energy efficiency.

Scalability for Commercial Installations

Each control line can manage up to 100 luminaires (depending on electrical configuration), enabling setups such as:

• Multi-row cultivation rooms
• Continuous production benches
• Progressive system expansion
• Modular installation layouts

The standalone design eliminates dependence on networks, apps, or external systems—an important advantage in environments where operational stability is prioritized over remote connectivity.

Technical Benefits

✔ Strategic PPFD control
✔ Spectral adjustment aligned with plant response
✔ Dedicated far-red programming
✔ Electrical and operational stability
✔ Repeatable lighting cycles
✔ Line-based scalability
✔ No WiFi or cloud dependency
✔ Ideal for compact and mid-size commercial grow rooms

Professional Luminaire Calculation (Metric System)

To properly size your installation:

1️⃣ Divide the length of the bench by 1.17 meters
2️⃣ Round down to maintain uniformity

📌 Example

Bench length: 4.20 m

4.20 ÷ 1.17 = 3.58

➡ 3 luminaires per row

If you have 2 rows between plant lines:

3 × 2 = 6 total luminaires

This ensures uniform coverage without excessive overlap or low-intensity zones.

Electrical Management and Daisy-Chain Connection

Each bench requires at least one power cable.

Recommended limits by voltage:

⚡ 120V → up to 10 luminaires
⚡ 240V → up to 17 luminaires
⚡ 277V → up to 20 luminaires

If these limits are exceeded, splitting the lines is recommended to maintain electrical stability and safety.
