The ViparSpectra VA1200 is a versatile reflector-style LED grow light engineered for full-cycle indoor cultivation. Despite its "600 W" designation, it only draws around 265 W, delivering energy-efficient lighting that rivals traditional 400 W HPS systems. It’s ideal for mid-sized setups, offering excellent performance in coverage areas of roughly 3x3 ft for the vegetative stage and 2.5x2.5 ft. Built around a PAR-optimized LED array with 120 high-output 5 W Bridgelux/Epileds diodes, this fixture delivers balanced spectrums across essential wavelengths—red, blue, white, and infrared—supporting healthy plant growth from start to finish. The reflector design ensures even light coverage, maximizing canopy performance without hotspotting. Thermal performance is strong with a combination of large aluminum heatsinks and dual quiet fans, maintaining internal temperatures up to 70% cooler than comparable HPS lights. The ViparSpectra VA1200 is perfect for growing 3-6 plants. Need less coverage? Consider the VA600, for 1-2 plants. Need more coverage? Consider the VA2000, suited for up to 6-9 plants.
