Black Dog LED: no gimmicks, just superior results.
Black Dog LED’s PhytoMAX® grow light series has been awarded ETL certification by Intertek, a leading independent testing laboratory, allowing all commercial growing facilities nationwide to utilize this leading line of LED grow lights.
Grow Light Industry Firsts for Black Dog LED
Black Dog LED introduced the best plant grow lights on the day we opened. We have also educated many growers as to why some LEDs do not work and how some companies have actually lied about the technology they use. This gives false hope to gardeners and can ultimately cost them significant money in terms of products that don’t meet the manufacturers’ claims.
Many companies have tried to copy our technology, but none have succeeded. Black Dog LED lights are the most innovative lights on the planet—the first to offer many new advances in LED lighting.
BLACK DOG LED WAS THE FIRST:
- • To offer true 3w LEDs with a single diode, instead of 3w3 with three 1w diodes, like most other
“3w lights.” at the time.
• To incorporate UV and IR light, which enhances taste and aroma, as well as speeding up
flowering time.
• To utilize a small percentage of “white” chips to compensate for nanometers lacking in
the spectrum.
• To design a light with a full spectrum that incorporates the most discreet LED colors of any
light to maximize efficiency and yield.
• To incorporate a thermal cutoff switch, protecting your purchase of the most advanced LED
grow equipment available.
• To dispel the hype and design a real 1000w HID replacement—the Platinum XL-U, which was
long the most powerful LED grow light on the planet, before it was superseded by the
PhytoMAX 800.
• To design and sell a light that yields 15% more than a 1240W DE HPS: the PhytoMAX 1000.
• To use high - flow and quiet ball bearing fans.
• To incorporate all 18-gauge minimum internal wiring, which eliminates any heat from
impedance, further reducing wear on the light.
• To own a SpectroRadiometer and conduct independent research on spectrum and its effects
on photosynthesis and ultimately on plant yield and health.
• To offer a limited lifetime warranty on our grow equipment
• To offer grow glasses to correct the spectrum for human eyes, a collaborative effort with
Method Seven.
• When you look at the facts, Black Dog LED is the industry leader, with the most innovative and
powerful LED grow lights on the planet. We are often imitated, but never duplicated.
Our Story
Black Dog LED was founded in early 2010 after Corey, the founder, spent over a year looking for legitimate LED grow lights to fill his and his friends’ growing needs. Unfortunately, he spent a lot of money and time only to discover that no one had created a light powerful enough or with the correct spectrum for flowering plants and producing fruit. He knew the technology was available, but LED grow lights on the market were being advertised through a lot of obvious hype backed by little or no science, which meant that the latest technology had not been harnessed. It was this knowledge, as well as a desire to create a quality product that really worked, which led him to pour over 15 years of botany and horticulture knowledge into the predecessors to the Black Dog LED lights for growing plants that are offered today.
Our philosophy is simple: we want to create the best possible plant grow lights available. This means we don’t always worry about providing the cheapest light or even the most profitable light, but it does mean that we don’t cut any corners.
We are indoor gardening enthusiasts, and our passion for our work comes from the desire to create a quality product we want to use in our own gardens and our friends want to use in theirs. To accomplish this, we are pushing the limits of what is currently known about using artificial light to grow plants. Some of the research we are doing in BDL Labs, our research and development department, is being conducted for the first time ever. We are creating lights that, because of their combination of spectrum and power, are better for growing plants than anything produced before.
Black Dog LED does not believe in hype—we believe in fulfilling our promises and that’s what our lights do. With a hassle-free, 90-day return policy and the best warranty in the business, we will always be here for you!
The Efficiency Myth
Because LED technology is so new, it is often hard to understand the difference between the multitude of lights available. So what is the difference between 1W, 3W, 5W, 10W and COB LEDS?
