Yield Difference: Pro vs. Gold
The Spectrabox Pro-III series produces approximately 1.92 micromoles per watt , while the Spectrabox Gold version offers a yield of approximately 2 micromoles per watt . This makes the Gold version more powerful than the Pro version, and even more effective than traditional HPS lamps, which produce an average of 1.85 micromoles per watt . Various studies in greenhouse horticulture show that LED grow lights deliver up to 40% more yield per micromole than HPS lighting.

One of the biggest differences between the Spectrabox Pro and Gold lies in the light's controls . The Spectrabox Pro uses a simple switch to toggle between the growth and bloom spectrums . This makes it a user-friendly option for growers who want to quickly switch between the different phases of plant growth.
The Spectrabox Gold, however, is designed for the more experienced grower . This version offers the option of manually adjusting the spectrum with a dial . This allows you to tailor the light precisely to your plants' needs, depending on the stage of the grow cycle .
