The Gavita Pro 1700e LED Gen 2 Grow Light is everything you'd expect from a Gavita LED. Until now, cutting energy costs and delivering maximum light output have been opposing priorities for growers. This fixture solves that. Say hello to the Gavita 1700e. Developed by the leaders in horticultural lighting, this LED is powerful enough to deliver the same high-performance growers rely on while reducing energy and lifetime ownership costs.
The "Pro" in Gavita Pro 1700e LED really shines through. This is an incredibly powerful grow light and can be used in just about any application: commercial warehouses (vertical or horizontal), greenhouses, and home grows (rooms or tents).
Coverage area: Flowering footprint: 4'x4' to 5'x5' (16 to 25 sq ft), Vegetative footprint: 6'x6' to 7'x7' (36 to 49 sq ft)
Low heat, minimizes cooling and energy costs
The Gavita Pro 1700e produces almost no heat. The open bar design passively cools the system. The fixture consists of 8 LED light bars, and this open design prevents heat build-up over the canopy. This allows you to place it closer to your canopy than other lights, cut down cooling costs, and maintain a perfect grow environment.
The 1700 µmol/s fixture results in an impressive efficiency of 2.6 µmol/s per wat
Much more efficient than a traditional HPS
This Gavita LED is a lower wattage than you may think with just a 646 watt power draw. It can repalce a 1000 Watt HPS without sacraficing any light or quality. It can also be dimmed up to 50% witht any loss in efficiency.
By switching to the Gavita 1700e grow light, you can reduce HVAC costs by 30 - 40% when compared to an MH/HPS grow light.

What changed between the Gavita 1700e and the 1650e?
While the Gavita 1650e LED was an incredible grow light, Gavita knew there was room for improvement. Seeking the very best in LED grow lighting, they improved upon this light with the 1700e.
In the gen 1 Gavita, the plexiglass around the light acted as a water catch, which would hold moisture or spills from above in racking systems. So, they removed this plexiglass. They also switched to the single fin vs a dual fin design, to eliminate an additional water catching point. This single fin is just as efficient, so you don't lose any power or performance.
Another huge difference is actually in the design of the wiring in the light. The Gavita 1650e has a top-exiting cord, which created 90-degree angles in the wiring of the lighting bars. This would occasionally cause certain parts of the light to not light up, due to the stress of the angling of the wires. So, the Gavita 1700e now features a side-exiting cord, so no drastic turns in the wiring.
The Gavita 1700e LED also brings new certifications to the table, such as an ETL listing, and a new IP66 rated housing which is completely enclosed. the communication connections are also IP rated, and the cables used are now RJ45 vs RJ 12/14.
There are also key differences in the adapter, as the first one was not ETL rated and the new one is. The mounting of the adapter is improved too, as the gen 2 adapter features hanging ears to make things easy. Furthermore, the "IN" and "OUT" communication ports have been moved to opposite ends of the fixture.
Another huge advantage is that cleaning the Gavita 1700e is easier than ever. You can literally spray down the fixture with a hose, as everything is completely sealed and safe.
Why Choose The Gavita 1700e LED Over The Competition?
We can make all sorts of claims about why the Gavita LED is so great, but how does it actually stack up against the competition? Let's compare it to the Fluence SPYDR 2i - the most similar competitor currently on the market.
In terms of LED diodes, the Gavita has 3264 white and 72 red diodes, compared to 2142 white and 84 red on the SPYDR. While both brands use the same, quality diodes, Gavita uses 49% more and doesn't drive the diodes nearly as hard. This maintains longer diode life with less color shifting, getting you further with your investment.
The Gavita 1700e LED is known for using the Philips Advance driver, whereas the SPYDR uses a cheaper, lesser-known driver. The extra money Gavita spends on these drivers shines through in their performance compared to the competition.
These two lights have very similar wattages, yet the Gavita produces a more efficient PAR Efficacy at 2.68 µmol/J compared to 2.56 µmol/J of the SPYDR. Furthermore, the 1700e produced an output of 1744 PPF, compared to just 1631 PPF on the SPYDR.
A few other advantages the Gavita 1700e has over the SPYDR is compatibility with popular Greenhouse Controllers, a high ambient temperature rating, and easy assembly and installation. If you were previously on the fence about which LED is right for you, hopefully, this helps you make your decision!

The Optimized Spectrum Of The Gavita Pro LED
Reliably sourced components including Philips AdvanceDrivers, Samsung white LEDs and Osram deep-red LEDs create improved performance. The Gavita 1700e gently drives LEDs to optimize fixture life and improve spectral output. The 8 passively cooled bars provide full-spectrum, broad-coverage light for full-term growth.
Our combination of white and red LEDs results in a relatively high ratio of blue light. Blue light keeps your crop compact in the vegetative stage and adds to an optimal morphogenesis and light interception by the plant. It maintains the photosynthetic system of the plant to optimize its photosynthetic potential and can shorten your flowering period. Blue light also triggers stomatal opening during the light period.
Uniformity
The 8-bar configuration allows you to mount this light source in low rooms, on vertical racks, over rolling benches or even in tents. For maximum uniformity, hang the fixture 24-36 inches from the crop.
The spread of red LEDs in the array guarantees a uniformly mixed spectrum on your crop at short distance. A full spectrum increases the quality of your crop.
Rest assured knowing that your plants are all getting the attention they deserve from this beast of a grow light. Its the most efficient commercial grow light in the industry for a reason.
Wet Rating
IP66 wet rated and UL8800 compliant for use in wet environments which allows versatile placement in growing spaces.
Its IP66 wet rating provides complete protection from dust, oil, and water, allowing you to mount this light source in low rooms, on vertical racks, over rolling benches or even in tents.
Output & Efficiency
Operating at 645 watts with an output of 1700 µmol s-1, this fixture achieves an impressive efficacy of 2.6 µmol s-1 per watt. Eight passively cooled LED bars provide intense light coverage with no fans or moving parts—significantly reducing the number of possible fail points compared to other fixtures.
The high fixture efficiency of 2.6 μmol s-1 per Watt enables you to finally leap ahead in reducing your HVAC capacity by about 30-40% compared to regular open HPS/MH solutions. The high efficiency and low powered LED configuration with 8 LED bars reduce the temperature of the LEDs – increasing the output and improving their light maintenance.
