Fohse A3i 1500 Watt Fixture Review: Is Bigger Better?

Описание: The FoHse A3I is one of the largest LED horticulture fixtures on the market, weighing over 80 pounds and delivering an impressive 1500 watts of power. In this video, I provide an in-depth review of its features, strengths, and limitations, drawing on my 10 years of experience in LED horticulture systems.

What’s Covered
Build Quality and Design:

A robust fixture "built like a tank," but its size and weight pose challenges for installation and handling.
Why multiple smaller fixtures might achieve better light uniformity and ease of use.
Thermal Management Concerns:

Examining the clustered LED chip design and potential issues with current hogging, where central LEDs in each cluster run hotter and wear out faster.
The importance of effective thermal management for fixture longevity.
Spectrum Control and Features:

Spring, summer, and fall modes offer spectrum tuning, but all settings include unusually high far-red content, which could lead to unwanted plant stretching.
The proprietary controller required to operate the fixture may limit its practicality for some commercial growers.
Final Thoughts:

While the A3I is a bold offering with strong marketing behind it, its weight, proprietary systems, and overall practicality raise questions about its suitability for most operations. Bigger isn’t always better—sometimes efficiency, ease of use, and flexibility are what truly count.
Why Watch?
This honest review breaks down the hype and provides growers with the information they need to make informed decisions about their lighting systems.
