Is the Core Pro a true replacement for a 315W CMH?

NextLight rates it as a replacement for a 315W CMH or 400W MH fixture. Its 2.6 µmol/J efficiency and full-spectrum white output are meant to cover the same footprint at lower wattage.

Can I dim it without the Control Pro?

Yes. Onboard dimming gives 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent settings. External dimming and scheduling need the NextLight Control Pro, sold separately.

Does it need a fan or ducting?

No. It is passively cooled, so there is no fan noise or ducting. The IP65 rating means it can handle damp grow rooms.

Is it good for a small closet grow?

It can work, but owners note it is built more for commercial rooms. At 210W in a small space you will likely run it dimmed, and cheaper low-wattage LEDs may fit a closet better.

What comes in the box?

The fixture, power supply, power and dimming cords, and mounting hardware. The Control Pro is not included.

Is it safe for a wet grow room?

It is IP65 wet rated, DLC Hort listed and UL 8800 rated, so it is built for humid grow environments.
