The X6 Ultra Proto-1, as tested by Light Laboratory, contains an incredible 8,208 LEDs!
3.19+ µmol/J and beyond!
Criticism about efficacy made by a competitor in mid-2020 has motivated us to work harder and test more. Thank you for inspiring us to do even better!
The all-new Growcraft Ultra Prototype 1 is the highest efficacy light ever tested at Light Laboratory to date! This fixture’s full system efficacy is pushing 3.19 µmol/J and it’s just our first prototype! We expect this fixture platform to boast the highest efficacy in the world.
Commercial Availability
Pre-orders will open on January 12th, 2021 at 11 AM Pacific Time [2 PM Eastern Time] – Book your spot in line while supplies last!
Note: Due to the ultra-high efficacy and the very high quantity of LED chips that must go into this fixture it will be available in limited quantities and come in at a significantly higher price point and much longer lead time vs our standard Growcraft series.
Lab Testing
The current lab results are for the full X6-600W Ultra Proto-1 fixture, our first Ultra prototype, however, many more independent lab tests are coming soon. We will do our best to provide as much information as possible by sharing more lab results soon in multiple different configurations of the Ultra platform. Stay tuned!
UPDATED: Additional lab results are in!

paul blanchard says
Hello Vitaly,The prototype looks like it is 2,three bar units attached together.Is it hinged from the back?Also can I upgrade say 4 of the 6 on my x6 and run the same driver?Thanks,and keep up the great work!
Grisbi says
hello sir Vitaly!
im speachless about your work and legacy, hope you well health and good 2021 year.
this “ultra” version will kill everything, im really impress by the led number, amazing efficiency.
I would really love to know if you will do 2 channel version of this ultra sir??
its gonna be really interessing to cut of all those red for the veg stage, then turn it on for flow. and by extension youll be able to come back on your 2/3 channel style ( maybe mix 660 + 730 + some uv for the second channel) like the old chilledgrow light but with your ultra strip design.
kiss from france!
DERP says
You need some 280/315nm (not sure if tech is available yet, theres some but super inefficient and short life) plus some more deep reds (680nm with 720nm for emmerson effect) 💚 some green to go with those reds too ;D
tito says
i sure wish there were some lil uv led, like a row of three between the reds
Vitaly Druchinin says
Coming soon!
Richard kubiak says
Excited like a kid at the Toy Store. Love your products have 4 so far. Growcraft. Need Growcraft ULTRA Eaglehunt55 @Instagram.
Michele Giudici says
I have 2 x6 growcrafts will it be possible to just replace the led panels with the new ultra
Vitaly Druchinin says
Yes, we plan on making them available as a simple upgrade to existing Growcraft lights.
paul blanchard says
Just saw pre-order release on web site.Light looks great but to upgrade my x6 it cost about the same as a DIY Ultra x6($165 difference). I would personally spend the extra money and get the new kit. I think a lot of people are going to say why upgrade, my current Growcraft is the best light out there.
Vitaly Druchinin says
I agree, most shouldn’t. The standard Growcrafts does a fantastic job. This is mainly for those that want the highest efficacy at any cost. Unfortunately, the last few points of efficacy come in at an exponential cost, just the current state of the LED tech.
paul blanchard says
I may get an Ultra during spring and do a side by side with one of my x6 600w Growcrafts. I am lucky to have a cool wife who might not leave me over the purchase. Keep up the great work
paul blanchard says
Update……On order,I may get a couple x2’s to keep it company.Keep up the good work ,my last grow killed it!
Vitaly Druchinin says
Thank you for your order and support, Paul! Very much appreciated.
I’m happy that you had a great grow 👍 I hope your next run does even better!
Joseph BicycleJoe Tomasello says
Hello Vitale happy new year I hope 2021 is a great success for you.
I really don’t need the most efficient and the greatest and the best.
What I do need is a bargain and the ability to stretch the $600 stimulas.
I’d like to buy the X6 600 and upgrade it later to X6 1000.
What additional parts besides the 2nd driver would I need to upgrade the 600 to 1000?
Many Companies offer a Veterans Discount, Does Chilled?
I am not a commercial op just would like to get a perpetual medicinal cooperative garden going in a prohibition state. I have 2 tents for flower and a 12 x8 grow room for veg ready to go.
I am a disabled Veteran but receive no Disability Pension because it happened during peacetime after Vietnam before Desert Storm
Lastly will the new ULTRA boards be compatible with the X series Kits for upgrades later
Martin Pike says
What is your lowest price light some of us struggle to get by and can’t afford these 600-2000 dollar lights
Vitaly Druchinin says
Hi Martin, I totally understand. This ULTRA series will definitely be VERY expensive due to the sheer number of cutting edge LED chips per light. I’d recommend our standard Growcraft product lineup instead and it’s available in DIY kit form at a lower price. If you don’t mind assembling yourself.
Mike says
When does it get released?
Vitaly Druchinin says
Very, very soon, Mike! (Sooner than you may think) Subscribe to our newsletter and we will announce the date and time of the opening of pre-orders. This will let everyone an equal opportunity to book their spot in the order queue.
