Planning notes

Best use

Comparing a 300 W bar fixture for a roughly 3 × 3 ft space.

Before you buy

Check the diode generation, assembled dimensions and controller bundle. Coverage is the manufacturer’s guide, not a promise of uniform results in every setup.

Strengths noted

  • Four-bar layout with passive cooling.
  • Built-in rotary dimming from 10–100%.

Considerations

  • This is the current Bridgelux version; older FC3000 EVO specifications do not apply.
  • Smart controllers cost extra, and the detachable fixture needs assembly.
