HyperDrive Efficiency
A core feature of AI lighting, HyperDrive technology is engineered to optimize both efficiency and flexibility. By transferring unused power from one LED channel to another, it ensures that every watt of available energy is used effectively. This allows you to fine-tune your spectrum with greater precision, tailoring the lighting to your specific needs while maintaining consistent performance across all channels.
