R6-V Multi-Channel Grow Light Drivers (200-480Vac)
FAHOLD R6-V high-power dual-channel grow light drivers are designed for commercial top-grow and greenhouse fixtures that require two independently controlled LED outputs. The non-isolated platform covers 880W to 1500W with high-voltage AC input for professional horticulture lighting systems.
The 880W and 1000W models use 200–480Vac rated input, while the 1200W and 1500W models use 277–480Vac. All current R6-V models combine a P1 150–500Vdc primary output with a P2 30–150Vdc auxiliary output and support independent 0–10V / PWM channel control.
Depending on configuration, R6-V also supports dynamic channel power allocation, optional 12V auxiliary power, IP65 protection and regular or suspended fixture integration. Compare the four models below by AC input, total wattage, P1 / P2 current requirements and control architecture.
R6-V High-Power Dual-Channel LED Drivers for Commercial Grow Lights
FAHOLD R6-V is a high-power non-isolated dual-channel constant-current LED driver platform developed for commercial LED top-grow fixtures and professional horticulture lighting systems. The series provides two independently controlled LED outputs in one driver architecture for grow lights that use a high-power primary LED load together with a separate auxiliary lighting channel.
Current R6-V models cover 880W, 1000W, 1200W and 1500W. The 880W and 1000W models use 200–480Vac input, while the 1200W and 1500W versions use 277–480Vac input for high-voltage commercial greenhouse and cultivation facilities.
Model selection should consider the facility AC voltage together with the electrical requirements of both LED channels. Total fixture wattage alone is not sufficient for accurate dual-channel driver matching.
Compare R6-V 880W, 1000W, 1200W and 1500W Models
| Model Class | Rated Input | P1 Output | P2 Output | Typical Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 880W | 200–480Vac | 150–500Vdc / 1.76–3.60A | 30–150Vdc / 2.00–2.40A | 96% |
| 1000W | 200–480Vac | 150–500Vdc / 2.10–4.20A | 30–150Vdc / 2.00–2.40A | 96% |
| 1200W | 277–480Vac | 150–500Vdc / 2.40–4.20A | 30–150Vdc / 2.00–2.40A | 95% |
| 1500W | 277–480Vac | 150–500Vdc / 3.00–4.80A | 30–150Vdc / 2.00–3.00A | 95% |
All four models use the same broad P1 and P2 voltage architecture, but available current and total output power change by model. The correct driver should therefore be selected from the operating voltage, current and maximum simultaneous power of both LED loads.
200–480V and 277–480V Grow Light Driver Platforms
R6-V is designed for high-voltage commercial horticulture electrical infrastructure. However, the complete series does not use one identical AC input range.
| Power Class | Rated Input | Typical Facility Direction |
|---|---|---|
| 880W / 1000W | 200–480Vac | Commercial facilities using compatible 208V, 240V, 277V, 347V or 480V-class distribution |
| 1200W / 1500W | 277–480Vac | High-power greenhouse and industrial horticulture systems using 277V, 347V or 480V-class distribution |
Always verify the exact rated input of the selected R6-V model. A 1200W or 1500W model should not be treated as a 200Vac-input driver simply because it belongs to the broader R6-V family.
347V and 480V Grow Light Drivers for Commercial Greenhouses
Large greenhouse and commercial cultivation facilities often use higher AC distribution voltages to reduce circuit current across high-power lighting installations. R6-V provides product options for compatible 347V and 480V-class systems.
High-voltage input is particularly relevant when many 880W to 1500W grow-light fixtures are installed across a large cultivation area. The driver, branch circuit, connectors, grounding, fixture insulation and applicable electrical code requirements must all be coordinated as part of the complete installation.
P1 150–500Vdc Primary Grow-Light Output
The primary R6-V output uses a broad 150–500Vdc constant-current platform. This channel is intended for the main high-power LED load of the top-grow fixture.
The wide voltage window allows R6-V to support different high-voltage LED-string architectures, provided the LED board's minimum and maximum forward voltage and required current remain within the electrical range of the selected model.
For accurate selection, provide the minimum, nominal and maximum forward voltage of the P1 LED load together with its required current and maximum power.
P2 30–150Vdc Auxiliary LED Output
The second R6-V channel uses a lower 30–150Vdc output platform for an auxiliary or supplemental LED load. Depending on model, the P2 current range extends from approximately 2.00A to as much as 3.00A.
This allows a grow-light manufacturer to integrate a second LED section whose electrical operating point is substantially different from the primary high-voltage channel.
The actual purpose of the P2 channel is determined by the fixture design. It may be used for supplemental LEDs, spectral functions or another independently controlled horticulture lighting section.
Independent Dual-Channel Grow Light Control
One of the core features of R6-V is independent control of the two constant-current outputs. P1 and P2 do not need to behave as one fixed lighting load.
Independent control gives fixture engineers greater flexibility when designing top-grow luminaires with two LED groups. Each channel can be matched to its own voltage and current architecture and controlled according to the required lighting strategy.
When requesting technical matching, specify the electrical requirements of P1 and P2 separately rather than providing only the total luminaire wattage.
0–10V Dual-Channel Grow Light Drivers
Compatible R6-V configurations support 0–10V dimming for commercial horticulture control systems. This allows grow-light output to respond to facility lighting schedules, crop-development stages, daylight strategy and centralized environmental control.
Both output channels can be controlled independently on compatible configurations, allowing the primary and auxiliary LED loads to follow different operating requirements when supported by the complete controller architecture.
The control wiring, signal range and actual controller compatibility should be confirmed during fixture validation.
PWM Dimming for High-Power Horticulture Lighting
R6-V also supports PWM dimming on compatible configurations. PWM control can be used with fixture controllers and horticulture automation systems that provide an appropriate pulse-width control signal.
Signal voltage, frequency, wiring and controller compatibility should be verified before final production because products described as “PWM compatible” can use different electrical control requirements.
Dynamic Channel Power Allocation
A dual-channel top-grow fixture does not always require maximum power from both LED outputs at the same time. Fixed power allocation can therefore leave some of the available driver capacity unused during certain operating modes.
Compatible R6-V configurations support dynamic auxiliary-to-main power transfer. Available power can be redistributed between the two outputs while remaining within the total power rating of the selected driver.
This architecture can support horticulture fixtures that change the balance between their primary and supplemental LED sections according to crop recipe, spectrum strategy or operating mode.
Optional 12V Auxiliary Power for Fixture Electronics
R6-V provides an optional 12V / 250mA auxiliary-power configuration for compatible fixture electronics and control accessories.
This auxiliary supply is separate from the primary P1 and P2 LED outputs and should be specified during project development if the grow-light fixture includes controls, sensors or other low-voltage electronics requiring local power.
Regular and Suspended Grow-Light Installation
R6-V supports regular and suspended housing directions for different commercial top-grow fixture architectures. This provides additional mechanical flexibility when the driver is mounted directly to the luminaire or integrated into a suspended high-power lighting system.
Driver dimensions and mounting format differ by power level and housing configuration, so mechanical drawings should be reviewed together with the electrical specification before final fixture design.
95–96% Typical Efficiency for 880W–1500W Grow Lights
High conversion efficiency is particularly important at 880W to 1500W power levels because even a small percentage of electrical loss becomes a significant amount of heat across large horticulture installations.
Current R6-V technical data lists approximately 96% typical efficiency for the 880W and 1000W models and approximately 95% for the 1200W and 1500W models. Typical power factor is above 0.94 or 0.95 depending on model.
Actual system efficiency depends on AC input voltage, P1 and P2 operating points, ambient temperature and fixture thermal design.
IP65 High-Power Grow Light Driver Platform
All current R6-V models use an IP65 enclosure platform for professional horticulture and commercial lighting applications.
IP65 applies to the driver enclosure and does not automatically make the finished grow-light fixture IP65. Connectors, cables, seals, luminaire housing, mounting orientation and installation conditions must also provide the required environmental protection.
8kV Surge Protection for High-Voltage Grow Lighting
R6-V provides differential-mode and common-mode surge protection up to 8kV for demanding commercial lighting environments. The platform also includes short-circuit, over-current and over-temperature protection functions.
Driver-level surge protection should be combined with suitable facility grounding, branch-circuit protection and system-level surge protection in large greenhouse and high-voltage horticulture projects.
R6-V Drivers for Commercial Top-Grow Lighting
R6-V is specifically positioned for high-power LED top-grow fixtures. These luminaires are typically installed above the crop canopy and may require hundreds or thousands of watts of LED power per fixture together with centralized dimming and high-voltage facility distribution.
The combination of 880W–1500W total power, high-voltage AC input, a 150–500Vdc primary channel and separate 30–150Vdc auxiliary channel makes R6-V particularly suited to advanced commercial horticulture fixtures using two distinct LED loads.
880W and 1000W Dual-Channel Grow Light Drivers
The 880W and 1000W R6-V models use 200–480Vac rated input and approximately 96% typical efficiency. They are suitable for commercial top-grow fixtures that require broad high-voltage input compatibility together with independent dual-output control.
The 880W model provides a P1 current range of approximately 1.76–3.60A, while the 1000W model extends P1 capability to approximately 2.10–4.20A. Both use a 2.00–2.40A P2 current range.
1200W and 1500W Dual-Channel Grow Light Drivers
The higher-power R6-V models use 277–480Vac rated input for commercial facilities based around high-voltage lighting distribution.
The 1200W model provides approximately 2.40–4.20A on P1 and 2.00–2.40A on P2. The 1500W model extends P1 to approximately 3.00–4.80A and P2 to approximately 2.00–3.00A.
At these power levels, output cabling, connectors, LED-board architecture, driver mounting, fixture heat management and facility electrical design should all be evaluated as part of one complete system.
R6-V vs Compact R2 / R2E-V Dual-Channel Drivers
R6-V and R2 / R2E-V both provide dual-channel horticulture power, but they serve very different fixture architectures.
| Requirement | R2 / R2E-V | R6-V |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Application | Inter-canopy, under-canopy and compact supplemental lighting | High-power commercial top-grow lighting |
| Power Direction | 150W–300W primary-channel class | 880W–1500W total high-power platform |
| AC Input | 120–277Vac / 277–480Vac | 200–480Vac / 277–480Vac |
| Output Architecture | Compact high-voltage primary + low-voltage auxiliary channel | P1 150–500Vdc + P2 30–150Vdc high-power dual-channel architecture |
Choose R6-V when the project is a high-power commercial top-grow fixture requiring 880W to 1500W of total driver capacity. For compact inter-canopy and under-canopy fixtures, compare the
