Lumatek LED Extension Power Cable 5m - Move Your Driver Further From the Fixture
Best for: growers who want to mount a Lumatek LED driver away from the light fixture itself, keeping its weight and heat out of the grow space.
Our thoughts
Drivers get warm and add weight right where you're trying to hang a light, so moving one out of the tent entirely is a smart move if your setup allows for it. This gives you the extra 5 metres of reach to do that properly, with connectors built to match Lumatek's own driver and fixture standard rather than a generic splice job.
The Lumatek LED Extension Power Cable extends the distance between a Lumatek LED driver and its fixture by 5 metres, letting you mount the driver remotely rather than having it hang alongside the light itself. The set includes two 5m cables: one extension power cable and one extension dimming cable, so both power delivery and dimming control are covered when you relocate the driver.
It uses Lumatek's own M19-2 self-locking male and female connectors, matching the standard plug on the driver and fixture rather than an aftermarket splice, and is wired with UL-rated SJTW 2x16AWG cable rated to 300V and 105°C. It's IP65 rated and RoHS compliant, with a working temperature range of -20°C to 105°C, so it holds up in a range of grow room conditions.
How it compares
Extension cables for LED grow lights aren't all built to the same standard.
- Generic extension leads from non-Lumatek suppliers may not use the same M19-2 connector, meaning they won't plug straight into a Lumatek driver or fixture without adapting.
- Running the driver right next to the fixture avoids buying an extension cable at all, but keeps the driver's heat and bulk inside the grow space rather than moved out of it.
- Splicing a longer cable yourself is possible but loses the IP65 rating and factory-tested insulation this pre-made cable comes with.
For a straightforward, properly rated way to relocate a Lumatek driver without voiding its build quality, this is the sensible option over an improvised extension.
Usage guidance
This is a simple plug-and-play accessory, but a couple of things are worth knowing.
When to use it
Use it when you want to mount the driver outside the tent or away from the fixture, reducing heat and weight in the grow space itself.
Connecting both cables
Run both the power and dimming extension cables together if your driver setup uses dimming control, they're supplied as a pair for that reason.
Cable routing
Route the cable away from areas where it could be pulled, trodden on or pinched, particularly where it exits the tent.

Who this is for
- Lumatek LED fixture owners wanting to move the driver outside the tent
- Growers reducing in-tent heat and bulk from driver units
- Anyone extending reach in a larger room without compromising cable rating
- Growers who want a factory-matched connector rather than an improvised splice
Our take
It's a simple accessory, but it's built to the same standard as the fixture it's extending, which matters when you're dealing with mains power in a humid environment. If your setup would benefit from the driver being further away, this is the properly-rated way to do it.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out, a sensible add-on for anyone repositioning their Lumatek driver.
