SunBlaster LED Strip Light with Prismatic Lens - 18in - 18W - 2,500 Lumen - 6400K

Prismatic-Lens LED Strip Light for Focused Canopy Coverage, 18in

Standard LED strip lights spread their output across a wide angle, so a meaningful share of the light never reaches the canopy at all. SunBlaster's Prismatic Lens LED Strip Light uses a molded prism lens over the LED array to redirect that output into a tight 90-degree beam aimed straight down at the plants below. The narrower beam concentrates more usable light at canopy level for the same electrical input, and up to eight fixtures can be daisy-chained from a single outlet to extend coverage across a wider bench or tent.

At 18in and 18W, this fixture is sized for a single 1020 tray, a compact clone dome, or a narrow propagation shelf, giving hobbyist growers a low-wattage option that still delivers the lens's full beam-focusing benefit.

Key Features & Benefits

• Molded prismatic lens — redirects the LED array's output into a 90-degree beam focused on the canopy instead of scattering it toward the tent walls.
• 6400K daylight spectrum — a blue-rich spectrum suited to compact vegetative growth, propagation, seedlings, and leafy crops.
• Daisy-chain up to 8 units — connect additional SunBlaster strip lights from a single outlet using the included link cord to extend coverage without extra wiring.
• Complete mounting hardware — ships with a power cord, link cord, flush-mount clips, and hanging clips, so the fixture installs without sourcing separate hardware.
• Compact strip format — fits directly above seedling trays, clone domes, and propagation shelves where close, focused light matters more than raw fixture size.

Who Should Use This

This fixture fits home growers, propagation specialists, and small-scale cultivators who want a compact strip light with a genuine light-focusing benefit rather than a standard scattered-beam design. It works well over seedling trays, clone domes, propagation shelves, and microgreen flats where plants sit close to the fixture.

About SunBlaster

SunBlaster Lighting designs horticultural grow lighting, including T5HO fluorescent and LED strip fixtures, propagation domes, and trays for home and commercial growers. The Prismatic Lens line adds a molded optical lens to SunBlaster's standard LED strip platform to concentrate output at the canopy rather than changing the underlying LED array.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a prismatic lens over a standard reflector?

A prismatic lens optically bends the LED array's light through molded prism geometry, concentrating it into a 90-degree beam aimed at the canopy. A standard reflector redirects some scattered light but can't match that focusing precision, so more of the fixture's output reaches the plants below with a prismatic lens.

Can I mix SunBlaster LED and T5HO strip lights in the same daisy-chain?

Yes, SunBlaster LED and T5HO strip lights use compatible link cord connectors, so they can be combined in a single chain. Check that the combined wattage of the chained fixtures stays within your outlet and circuit rating before connecting them.

How close should this fixture sit above the canopy?

Position the strip 2 to 6 inches above seedlings and cuttings, where the focused 90-degree beam delivers its strongest output. Raise the fixture as plants grow taller so the canopy doesn't sit directly against the lens.

Is the prismatic lens replaceable if it's damaged?

The lens is molded into the fixture housing rather than sold as a separate part. Contact SunBlaster or an authorized distributor about replacement options if the lens on your unit is damaged.

Does this fixture need a separate reflector or hood?

No, the molded prismatic lens performs the beam-focusing job a separate reflector or hood would otherwise do. Mounting the fixture directly above the canopy with the included clips or hanging hardware is sufficient.
