hi again and welcome back to the channel today we're going to be
doing an unboxing and feature overview of the flexstar 645 watt led bar style light
the light comes nicely packaged and the cats absolutely love it
one nice thing that we noticed after pulling it out of the box is that the
light is already assembled there's no bars to install or set up there's no tools required
everything you needed is in the box and ready to go
just fold the light out and attach the driver it has built-in clips so it snaps right onto
the bars or one of the really great features that we love is the cable is long enough you can mount
the driver outside of the tent and still have enough to adjust your light height this is great
if you battle with heat issues or have issues with heat in your tent getting that driver outside of
the tent is going to keep the temps inside your tent much lower taking a look inside the box it
comes with a manual all the powers and cables that you'll need along with some hanging clips and an
option to use some hanging cables which will allow you to hang the light with only two ratchet straps
does have four pre-installed eyelets so you can hang it with four for a more stable hanging
position or you can use the two cables it'll just be a little bit less stable and a little
more prone to rotation but it works just as well inside your tent because there's not really going
to be much in there hitting it anyways other than heaven's head it features high quality snap and
lock connectors which are great you just push them in and they lock and then you rotate the housing
to remove the cable the plug included is not a standard us style plug so they also include an
adapter to allow you to plug into a us socket it also includes an rj11 cable for linking and daisy
chaining these lights and they can run connected to a zeus controller to control your lights
output settings and more it comes with the ip66 rated sosen slash inventronix
driver and it features a dimmer switch that has positions at 100 percent 80 percent 60 percent 50
and 40 percent and also in off position personally i would have liked a controller
that would give you full flexibility from zero all the way to 100 so you could dial this light
in perfectly but really these set points seem to be about the most used that you're going to get
from seedling all the way to bloom but overall out of the box this light
looks like a great performer and the build quality and attention to detail is very nice
all you have to do is pull it out of the box hang it up plug in the driver and you're ready to go
overall setup of the flexstar 645w pro was a breeze super easy and we
appreciate that everything was pre-assembled
with no assembly required other than plugging in the driver and hanging up the light
this flexstar light features six bars evenly spaced across the light this will provide even
coverage to your plants down below across the whole footprint of the tent this light features
samsung 3030 led diodes and osram 3535 at 3 000 kelvin 6500 kelvin and 616 nanometers red
this covers the main full spectrum for what's used in grow lights today
focusing on the wavelengths that are most beneficial to plant growth
yield and performance the diodes also feature a resin coating to protect them from dirt
dust debris and moisture inside your tent to ensure that this light will last you a long time
and overall this light features a total of 2226 led chips across all six bars the aluminum bars
and spacing on this light offer great airflow to help keep things cool plus the option of that
remote driver will really help keep temps down in your tent if that's an issue in your grow
taking a look at the par charts from the manufacturer you'll see that this light in a
4x4 can completely cover the entire tent i have no doubts that this could also provide great coverage
inside of a 5x5 as well the dimensions for this light are 50.13 inches wide by 43.6 inches deep
and 2.63 inches tall with the slim footprint it should fit easily into your 4x4 or 5x5 grow
and with this lightweight aluminum construction and easy fold out design heaven was able to hang
this light all by herself in minutes in the 5x5 and this thing is bright when you turn it
on it definitely lights the tent up it has more than enough power to cover all your plants from
seedling all the way to harvest in a 4x4 and 5x5 expect great coverage and with added rj11
and linking to controllers you can link up to 160 of these lights off a single controller for your
larger horticultural needs if you're interested in purchasing this light definitely check out flex

tents fans newts genetics and more another important thing to touch on that i thought with
these new bar lights hitting the market thinking about your grow what you want to grow and how you
grow might impact your decision on life so for big bar styles like this i think they're really great
for photos or people scrogging or filling out a whole tent with all plants that are on the same
stage because the light provides an even output whereas if you run autos in a perpetual situation
all in one tent we have seedlings plants and flower and veg in one tent since this light
provides an even output across the whole light that means you're gonna have to move some plants
higher up closer to the light for a higher par and have other plants at different levels because
you can't adjust or dim half the light so it's something to think about you would have to have
stands or something like that to move your flower plants closer for a higher output where you have
seedlings much lower because they don't require as much par something to think about and i just
thought it should be mentioned sometimes having multiple lights can be beneficial because that
allows you to tune in zones within your tent for different light outputs so really look at
the use case of what you're thinking about and how you plan on growing because that will impact
what you decide to purchase this bar light is really great for what it's designed for
but it might not be perfect for every situation depending on your needs and goals as a grower
