Fluence VYPR 3p LED Top Light — 42in PhysioSpec™ BROAD R3 Greenhouse, 120-480V

Cut Greenhouse Lighting Energy Costs While Replacing High-Pressure Sodium Fixtures

The Fluence VYPR 3p is a 42in LED top light engineered as a direct replacement for 1,000W high-pressure sodium fixtures, cutting energy consumption by more than 40% while delivering 1,690-2,330 µmol/s of photosynthetic photon flux. Fluence pairs the fixture with a passive thermal management design so it operates without active cooling fans in greenhouse conditions.

The VYPR 3p runs the PhysioSpec BROAD R3 Greenhouse spectrum, spanning the full 400-700nm photosynthetically active range and formulated for spaces where natural light is also reaching the canopy. Efficacy runs 2.7-3.8 µmol/J at 277V AC, with a dual input range of 120-277V and 277-480V AC covering most greenhouse electrical services, and an IP66 enclosure backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features & Benefits

• Replaces 1,000W HPS at >40% Energy Savings: Cuts per-fixture energy draw substantially compared to the high-pressure sodium equivalent it is built to replace.
• 1,690-2,330 µmol/s PPF Range: High photon output suited to both top-light and sole-source greenhouse deployment.
• PhysioSpec BROAD R3 Greenhouse Spectrum: Full 400-700nm PAR coverage formulated for environments where supplemental and natural light combine.
• Dual 120-480V AC Input Range: Covers 120-277V and 277-480V service without needing an external transformer.
• IP66 Enclosure with Passive Thermal Management: Sealed against moisture and dust and cooled without fans, rated beyond 45,000 hours L90 lifetime.

Who Should Use This

Commercial greenhouse operations currently running 1,000W HPS fixtures and looking to cut energy and HVAC load are the direct fit for the VYPR 3p, and it works equally well as the primary lighting infrastructure in a new greenhouse build. It ships with a 3ft DC cord, pipe hangers, and an 11in dimming cable; an AC cord is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I expect to save switching from 1,000W HPS to the VYPR 3p?

Fluence engineers the VYPR 3p to match or exceed 1,000W HPS photon output at more than 40% lower energy consumption. Actual savings depend on your local electrical rate, daily operating hours, and reduced HVAC load from lower LED heat output relative to HPS.

What comes included with the VYPR 3p versus purchased separately?

Each unit ships with the light bar, power supply, a 3ft DC cord, pipe hangers, and an 11in dimming cable. An AC cord is sold separately and is required to complete a working installation.

Can the VYPR 3p be used where there is no natural light at all?

Fluence documents the VYPR 3p for both greenhouse supplemental use and non-stacked sole-source applications. In fully enclosed sole-source spaces, a PhysioSpec BROAD R4 Indoor-spectrum fixture may be a better spectral match depending on crop requirements, since this unit ships with the R3 Greenhouse spectrum.

What dimming range does the VYPR 3p support?

It supports dim-to-off operation via a 1-10V signal through an M12 connector, across a 10-100% range. This works with standard 0-10V grow light scheduler and dimmer controllers for automated photoperiod and intensity management.
