RG150 vs RG300 vs RG480: How to Match a Grow Light to Your Tent
Share
Short answer: start with the RG150 when a smaller growing area matches its stated 150W format and up to 380 µmol/s PPF. Look at the RG300 when you need the 320W option and up to 800 µmol/s PPF, or the RG480 when the 480W option and up to 1,300 µmol/s PPF better fit the scale of your setup. Confirm the current product page and your tent dimensions before ordering.
RG family comparison at a glance
| Model | Approved product facts | Best comparison question |
|---|---|---|
| RG150 | 150W; up to 380 µmol/s PPF; 60×60 to 90×90 cm wording | Does the smaller format match my growing area? |
| RG300 | 320W option; up to 800 µmol/s PPF | Do I need the middle power option? |
| RG480 | 480W option; up to 1,300 µmol/s PPF | Does the larger option match my space and circuit plan? |
Choose RG150 for a smaller, clearly measured area
The RG150 is the most compact comparison point in this family. Its current product information lists 150W, up to 380 µmol/s PPF and a 60×60 to 90×90 cm coverage wording. That makes it useful when your growing area is within that stated range and you want to keep the fixture choice proportionate to the space.
Choose RG300 or RG480 when the space needs a larger option
The RG Series provides larger options for growers comparing a 320W RG300 and a 480W RG480. Current approved English product information lists up to 800 µmol/s PPF for RG300 and up to 1,300 µmol/s PPF for RG480. Treat those figures as product comparison points, then consider the actual tent size, mounting height, electrical capacity and the light level your plants require.
The RG Series also lists full-spectrum light with UV and IR support, manual stepless dimming from 20% to 100%, 0-10V control, daisy-chain capability and fanless passive cooling.
A simple selection process
- Measure the tent or growing area in centimeters or feet.
- Use the stated RG150 range only when it matches the measured space.
- Compare RG300 and RG480 by power and PPF without treating either figure as a fixed plant result.
- Check whether dimming, 0-10V control or daisy chaining matters for your installation.
- Confirm the current product page for availability and the latest specifications.
Frequently asked questions
Is RG480 always better than RG150?
No. A larger option is not automatically the right match for a smaller area. The useful choice is the model whose power, placement and controls fit the space you are actually lighting.
What is the practical difference between RG300 and RG480?
The current comparison is 320W and up to 800 µmol/s PPF for RG300 versus 480W and up to 1,300 µmol/s PPF for RG480. Use the product pages and your installation plan to decide which scale is appropriate.
