PhytoMAX-3 8SC is a 410 W LED grow light from Black Dog LED’s third-generation PhytoMAX line. The SC variant is identical to the SP model but adds ETL certification for commercial facilities. The 8S platform delivers 874 μmol/s total photon flux and uses the company’s Phyto‑Genesis Spectrum covering 365–750 nm, including UV and IR. Recommended footprints are up to 6.25×6.25 ft in vegetative growth and 5×5 ft in flowering; smaller footprints increase average PPFD. The fixture measures 37×37×11 cm and weighs about 9.1 kg, with 0–10 V dimming (15–100%), universal 100–277 V input and a locking, waterproof power connector. The 8S head uses 224 LEDs and has a rated MTBF greater than 70,000 hours, with internal fans also rated for 70,000 hours.
