Maxibright's a proper UK brand with 28 years in the game, and these strips do exactly what they should. One for growers serious about yield and quality, not beginners throwing everything at the wall.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaxibright Daylight UV and Far Red Supplementary Strips are \u003cstrong\u003e60W LED add-on bars\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to work alongside your existing Daylight LED fixtures—or independently if you prefer.

Mount horizontally between your Maxibright bars or hang over the canopy. Run for the final 30 minutes of your light cycle, or use short bursts (15–30 minutes) at lights-off to trigger faster flowering. Best results when used consistently through the flowering stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUVA (365–405nm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUVA enhances secondary metabolite production—the compounds that make plant material more potent and aromatic. Plants respond to UV stress by boosting protective compounds. Start low: run two 15-minute sessions per day, spread across your lights-on period. Increase duration by 15 minutes every couple of days until you reach 2–6 hours total per day, split into two sessions. This prevents damage and lets plants recover between pulses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUVA \u0026amp; UVB (280–405nm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBroader UV spectrum creates denser, more compact foliage and stops stretching. UVB is particularly effective at preventing powdery mildew—the spores can't survive in high UV. Same protocol as UVA: start at two 15-minute sessions, work up gradually. The added UVB also directs plant energy into fruit production rather than stem elongation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntegration with primary lighting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThese are supplementary, not replacements. Use them alongside your main Daylight fixture. The brackets clip cleanly between Maxibright bars; if you're using a non-Maxibright primary light, you'll need to rig independent mounting but it's straightforward—these are lightweight and passive cooled so no heat management concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower output: \u003cstrong\u003e60W per bar\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED chips: \u003cstrong\u003eOsram\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpectral options: \u003cstrong\u003eUVA only (365–405nm), UVA \u0026amp; UVB (280–405nm), or Far-Red (730nm peak)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotosynthetic efficiency (far-red): \u003cstrong\u003e2.3 μmol\/J, 138 μmol\/s total output\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifespan: \u003cstrong\u003eup to 5000 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: \u003cstrong\u003eInternal, plug-and-play\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling: \u003cstrong\u003eSilent passive cooling, no active fans\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRating: \u003cstrong\u003eIP65 waterproof\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: \u003cstrong\u003eSupplied brackets for Maxibright Daylight fixtures, or independent hanging\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: \u003cstrong\u003eNo wiring required—direct connection to compatible Maxibright fixtures or standalone power\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperienced growers with quality primary lighting looking to optimize spectrum and fill gaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowers targeting secondary metabolite enhancement without full fixture replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstablished Maxibright users wanting seamless ecosystem integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUK growers who value manufactured heritage and proven brand reputation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone running 480W or 660W Daylight setups looking for bolt-on performance gains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality-focused cultivators willing to invest in proven spectral techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot a beginner purchase—these make sense when you already have solid primary lighting in place and want to push results higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOur take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaxibright's been making horticultural lighting since 1996.
