Our Pontoons are designed to work as an enhancement accessory to our induction lamps’ broad spectrum phosphor blend. They are a low wattage addition to our induction lamps’ spectrums and should be considered when the gardener is seeking optimized quality, yield and reduced time to harvest.

During Lights On Cycles

We run the Deep Red, 660nm diodes to meet an important Chlorophyll B peak absorption spectra for flowering thereby increasing flowering sites. Strategically placed diodes on 10 planes allow for even canopy coverage and excellent penetration. This is achieved without burning the canopy from high intensity diodes that are usually aimed straight down at the canopy. Diodes are asymmetrically placed to interlace light distribution patterns with the opposing Pontoon and of any adjacent fixtures similarly outfitted with Pontoons.

During Lights Off Cycles

It’s noon on a cloudless day and the sun paints the sky a bright Blue. As the sun begins to set, the Blue is gradually replaced by increasing levels of Red to Deep Red and finally to Far Red. In nature it is this Far Red 730nm wavelength that triggers the Phytochrome, or flowering response, to occur within seconds of sensing that wavelength exclusively as the sun sets over the horizon. For an indoor garden, the light cycle for flowering may typically be set for a 12 hour on and 12 hour off cycle. With the plants going instantly into total darkness the plants will require a 2 hour relaxation period before actual flowering begins. Obviously this has never been the most efficient way of maximizing flower production and density. Reducing that indoor relaxation period, by mimicking nature, is critical to increasing fruit and flower size. Our patented Pontoon design utilizes a built in control circuitry that senses once the 660nm diodes turn off. Once off, the 730nm diodes, powered by Lithiumion batteries built into the Pontoon, will run the 730nm diodes only for approximately 5 minutes at which time they turn off in gradual steps decreasing the normal indoor Phytochrome switch from 2 hours to less than 10 minutes. Indoor gardeners may wish to adjust their lights on photoperiods for an extra hour or more to take advantage of the indoor plants natural photobiological
response to this wavelength.
