Medic Grow Smart 8 Plus PAR & ePAR Tests and Review

The Medic Grow Smart 8 Plus is an upgraded version of the very popular Smart 8. It features the industry leading Samsung LM301h diodes. I tested the original Smart 8 last year and was impressed. Like all Medic Grow fixtures, the original Smart 8 performed very well and is an incredible value. The new Smart 8 Plus is somewhat more expensive, and I was curious if the performance improved enough to justify that added cost.
I run the Smart 8 Plus through the same 9 tests that I did with the original Smart 8. We can see if the Samsung LM301h diodes are worth the added cost. It is a great opportunity to directly compare the popular and expensive LM301h’s with a different brand of diode!

26:59 My Review

I conduct independent and impartial grow light testing. I present the data that I gather during my tests. The opinions and recommendations that I offer are based on my experience with indoor horticulture and horticultural lighting.
The manufacturer provided me with the light fixture to test and review. I always retain the right to give honest opinions about the products that I review. I do not offer manufacturers exclusivity or give them any editorial control over my reviews. The opinions and analysis are my own.
