F1-H Plug-and-Play LED Drivers for Quantum Board Grow Lights
FAHOLD F1-H is an isolated constant-current LED driver platform developed for quantum-board grow lights, propagation fixtures, vertical-farm lighting and compact indoor horticulture luminaires. The series combines 100–277Vac input, 40W to 320W power options, IP67 protection and fixture-friendly connection configurations in one product family.
F1-H is particularly useful when the grow-light manufacturer needs a compact driver that can be integrated directly with a horticulture LED board without the complexity of a very high-power programmable platform. The series focuses on practical fixture integration, local output control and configurable AC / DC connections.
F1-H Grow Light Driver Power Range: 40W to 320W
The F1-H range includes eight power classes so the driver can be matched closely to the actual LED-board load rather than oversizing the power supply.
| Rated Power | Output Voltage | Full-Power Output Current | Typical Fixture Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40W | 27–54V | 0.70–1.05A | Seedling lights, compact quantum boards and small horticulture fixtures |
| 60W | 27–54V | 1.05–1.40A | Propagation lights and lower-power indoor-grow fixtures |
| 75W | 27–54V | 1.40–2.10A | Compact quantum boards and modular horticulture lighting |
| 100W | 27–54V | 1.90–2.80A | Medium quantum-board and indoor horticulture fixtures |
| 150W | 27–54V | 2.80–4.20A | Higher-output quantum boards and vertical-farm lighting modules |
| 200W | 27–56V | 3.70–5.60A | Commercial compact grow lights and larger LED-board assemblies |
| 240W | 27–56V | 4.30–6.70A | Higher-power indoor grow fixtures and quantum-board systems |
| 320W | 27–56V | 5.70–9.00A | High-output compact horticulture fixtures using one isolated LED load |
The final driver should be selected from the actual LED-board voltage and current requirements rather than rated wattage alone. The LED operating point must remain inside the supported output window of the selected F1-H model.
27–54V and 27–56V Constant-Current Grow Light Drivers
F1-H uses two closely related LED output-voltage platforms. The 40W through 150W models operate across 27–54V, while the 200W, 240W and 320W models extend the upper output limit to 56V.
| Output Platform | F1-H Power Range | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 27–54V | 40W–150W | Suitable for compatible lower- and medium-power horticulture LED boards whose forward-voltage range remains inside the driver window. |
| 27–56V | 200W–320W | Provides additional voltage headroom for higher-power quantum-board and horticulture LED assemblies. |
For accurate matching, provide the LED board's minimum, nominal and maximum forward voltage together with its required operating current. A driver with sufficient wattage can still be unsuitable if the LED voltage or current falls outside its supported range.
100–277Vac Grow Light Drivers for Flexible AC Input
All current F1-H models use a 100–277Vac rated input platform. This allows the same driver family to be considered across common commercial and lighting supply conditions such as nominal 120Vac, 208Vac, 240Vac and 277Vac, subject to the exact project requirements.
This wide-input architecture can help OEM grow-light manufacturers simplify product planning when similar fixtures are sold into several markets or facility electrical environments.
The AC input voltage should always be verified independently from the LED output specification. The driver may receive commercial AC mains power while supplying regulated 27–54V or 27–56V constant-current output to the horticulture LED board.
Isolated Constant-Current Architecture for Quantum Boards
F1-H uses an isolated constant-current architecture. Electrical isolation separates the mains-side power stage from the LED output, while constant-current regulation supplies the LED board within the supported voltage and current operating window.
This makes F1-H relevant to quantum-board fixtures and other compact horticulture luminaires where electrical safety, board integration and predictable LED current must be considered together.
Isolation does not replace complete fixture-level safety design. LED-board insulation, wiring, connectors, enclosure construction, grounding and target-market certification must still be evaluated as part of the finished grow light.
Plug-and-Play Grow Light Driver Connections
One of the key differences between F1-H and larger commercial horticulture platforms is its plug-and-play fixture-integration concept. Configurable AC plug and DC connector options can simplify driver installation and reduce the amount of field wiring required by the finished grow-light product.
Multiple AC plug configurations are available for different markets and fixture requirements, while compatible DC connection options include M15 connector configurations.
Connector type, cable length, plug configuration and fixture-interface requirements should be defined during OEM product development rather than assumed to be identical for every F1-H configuration.
5-Step Knob Dimming for Quantum Board Grow Lights
Compatible F1-H dimmable configurations provide built-in five-step knob control for straightforward fixture-level light adjustment. This is particularly useful for standalone quantum-board and indoor-grow fixtures where the user needs simple local intensity control without a separate centralized greenhouse controller.
Local knob control can simplify the user interface of compact horticulture products while allowing the grower to reduce output according to plant stage, fixture height or cultivation requirements.
Dimming and programming capability depend on the selected product configuration. The required Type B or Type N version should therefore be confirmed when samples or production units are ordered.
Type B vs Type N F1-H Driver Configurations
The F1-H product code supports different control configurations. These should be defined before final product approval so the fixture receives the correct control functionality.
| Configuration | Control Direction | Typical Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Type B | Dimmable configuration with programming support and optional knob dimmer | Quantum-board and horticulture fixtures requiring adjustable output |
| Type N | Non-dimmable configuration | Fixed-output horticulture fixtures that do not require user dimming |
Do not assume every F1-H product is supplied with the same knob or programming configuration. Define the required control version as part of the project specification.
Dim-to-Off for Horticulture Lighting
Compatible F1-H configurations support Dim-to-Off operation so the LED output can shut down rather than continue producing visible residual light at the lowest control setting.
This is useful in horticulture applications where growers need a true dark period as part of the cultivation schedule. It also simplifies fixture operation when the local control interface is expected to provide both intensity adjustment and complete LED shutdown.
IP67 Grow Light Drivers for Humid Horticulture Environments
All current F1-H models are listed with IP67 enclosure protection. This provides increased resistance to dust and moisture and makes the platform relevant to indoor horticulture, propagation and vertical-farm environments where humidity and routine cleaning may be present.
The driver IP rating applies only to the driver enclosure. Connectors, cable joints, LED boards, fixture housings and mounting conditions must also be appropriate for the actual grow-light environment.
Efficiency and Power Factor Across the F1-H Range
F1-H uses a high-power-factor architecture with typical power factor above 0.95 across the current model table. Typical efficiency increases from approximately 87% on the smallest 40W / 60W models to approximately 94% on the 200W–320W models.
Efficiency affects both energy loss and heat generation inside the grow-light system. Real performance depends on operating voltage, current, input supply, ambient temperature and the selected driver model.
Protection Functions for Quantum Board LED Drivers
F1-H includes protection functions such as over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection and over-temperature protection. These functions help protect the driver and connected lighting system when abnormal electrical or thermal conditions occur.
Driver protection should still be combined with correct fixture wiring, connector selection, thermal design and facility-level electrical protection.
F1-H Applications in Horticulture Lighting
Quantum Board Grow Lights
Quantum-board fixtures are a primary application for F1-H because the platform combines isolated constant-current output, compact power classes, local dimming and plug-and-play connection options.
Seedling and Propagation Lighting
Lower-power 40W to 100W F1-H models are suitable for compact propagation and seedling fixtures when the LED voltage and current requirements fall within the corresponding driver window.
Vertical-Farm Rack Lighting
Vertical-farm systems often require compact fixtures with straightforward installation and local control. F1-H provides several power classes that can be matched to individual racks or modular horticulture luminaires.
Compact Indoor Grow Fixtures
Higher-power 150W to 320W F1-H models can support compact indoor grow lights that require one isolated constant-current LED output without moving to a 650W+ commercial driver platform.
How to Select the Right F1-H Grow Light Driver
