The PhotonTek SQ300W Pro LED Grow Light is a compact, full-spectrum horticultural fixture engineered for grow tents, indoor rooms, propagation areas, and controlled growing spaces up to 3.3' × 3.3'. Producing 816 µmol/s of PPF at an efficacy of 2.7 µmol/J, it delivers strong plant-usable light while drawing approximately 310 watts at full output.
Its distinctive square-bar construction distributes light evenly toward the edges and corners of the growing area. This helps reduce the center-heavy intensity and perimeter drop-off commonly associated with compact panel fixtures, creating a more consistent canopy across the complete footprint.
The SQ300W Pro uses higher-spec 4000K white, 660 nm red, and 730 nm far-red diodes to produce a balanced full-spectrum output. This spectrum supports propagation, vegetative development, and flowering, allowing the same fixture to remain in service throughout the complete production cycle.
The fixture’s low-profile design measures only 22.08 inches square and 2.82 inches high, making it particularly useful in small tents, closets, low-ceiling rooms, and multi-layer installations where vertical clearance is limited.
PhotonTek’s Clear Glue protection technology covers the LED bars with a thin protective layer while maintaining high light transmission. This coating improves resistance to corrosion, dust, and moisture while contributing to the fixture’s IP65 water and dust resistance rating.
An advanced aluminum heat sink and open square-bar structure remove heat through passive natural convection. Because the fixture does not require cooling fans, it operates quietly and eliminates moving components that would otherwise require maintenance or replacement.
The included 0–10V dimmer provides OFF, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% output settings. Operators can lower intensity during early development and increase output as canopy requirements change without altering the fixture’s spectrum.
For centralized installations, the SQ300W Pro can be connected to the PhotonTek Digital Lighting Controller or another compatible 0–10V platform. External control supports automated scheduling, dimming, temperature safety functions, sunrise and sunset simulation, and coordinated management of up to 100 fixtures.
The fixture is rated for approximately 60,000 operating hours and is backed by a 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty. PhotonTek’s official specification sheet confirms its 816 µmol/s PPF output, 2.7 µmol/J efficacy, 310W input power, 3.3' × 3.3' footprint, passive cooling, and three-year warranty.
816 µmol/s PPF Output
The SQ300W Pro produces 816 µmol/s of photosynthetic photon flux, providing substantial output for compact indoor horticultural applications.
Its square-bar construction distributes this output broadly across the canopy instead of concentrating it beneath a central panel.
2.7 µmol/J Fixture Efficacy
With a fixture efficacy of 2.7 µmol/J, the SQ300W Pro converts electrical power into plant-usable light efficiently.
This helps deliver strong canopy intensity while controlling electricity consumption and heat production.
Up to 3.3' × 3.3' Coverage
The fixture is engineered for growing areas measuring up to approximately 3.3' × 3.3'.
Its footprint is well suited to compact tents, single benches, propagation zones, small rooms, and low-clearance production environments.
Square-Bar Light Distribution
The nested square-bar configuration directs light toward the perimeter and center of the canopy.
This design improves edge coverage, minimizes central hot spots, and helps operators make more effective use of the complete growing area.
Full-Spectrum Output
A combination of white, red, and far-red diodes produces a balanced full-spectrum light source.
The fixture supports propagation, vegetative growth, and flowering without requiring separate stage-specific lighting systems.
White, Red & Far-Red Diodes
The SQ300W Pro uses 4000K white, 660 nm red, and 730 nm far-red diodes.
This diode combination provides broad-spectrum coverage while supplementing the wavelengths commonly used in complete-cycle horticultural production.
Low-Profile Compact Design
At just 22.08" × 22.08" × 2.82", the SQ300W Pro occupies minimal overhead space.
Its compact construction helps preserve valuable vertical clearance in tents, shelving systems, and low-ceiling rooms.
Close-Canopy Operation
The broad square layout creates a uniform spread at relatively short fixture-to-canopy distances.
PhotonTek recommends positioning the fixture approximately 6 to 16 inches above the canopy, depending on development stage, intensity setting, and environmental conditions.
Five-Level Dimming
The included 0–10V dimmer provides OFF, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% settings.
Light output can be adjusted for propagation, vegetative development, flowering, and changing environmental conditions without replacing or repositioning the fixture.
External 0–10V Control
The fixture is compatible with the PhotonTek Digital Lighting Controller and other control platforms using a 0–10V signal.
This allows larger facilities to centralize lighting schedules, intensity settings, and environmental safety functions.
Daisy-Chain Control
Multiple SQ300W Pro fixtures can be connected in series for centralized control.
A compatible PhotonTek controller can manage up to 100 fixtures, divided across two control zones.
Clear Glue Protection
PhotonTek’s Clear Glue coating helps shield the LED bars from moisture, dust, and corrosion.
The smooth protective surface also simplifies routine cleaning while maintaining high light transmission.
Passive Thermal Management
The advanced heat sink removes heat through natural convection without fans or moving components.
Passive cooling reduces noise, lowers maintenance requirements, and supports stable long-term diode performance.
IP65-Rated Protection
The fixture carries an IP65 water and dust resistance rating for controlled indoor horticultural environments.
It may be used in damp spaces but should not be exposed to direct spray, standing water, condensing moisture, or outdoor conditions.
60,000-Hour Rated Life
High-efficiency diodes, passive cooling, and durable electrical components contribute to a rated operating life of approximately 60,000 hours.
This extended service interval helps reduce replacement frequency and long-term ownership costs.
3-Year Manufacturer Warranty
The PhotonTek SQ300W Pro is protected by a 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty covering qualifying mechanical and electronic defects under normal operating conditions.
Improper use, incorrect installation, unauthorized modification, and failure to follow manufacturer instructions are excluded. PhotonTek’s current manual and specification sheet both list a three-year warranty for this model.
