Secret Jardin Tled 23 Watt Bloom
The Secret Jardin TLED 26W Bloom is a 54 x 4 x 3 cm LED bar carrying 114 diodes: 38 infrared, 38 rated at 2100 K and 38 at 3000 K. Combined output is 2050 lm at 80 lm/W across a 120 degree beam angle. The brand rates the bar at 26 W nominal, while measured draw sits at 23 W. Driver electronics are built in, so the bar plugs straight into a socket with no external supply. At 0.36 kg and 30,000 hours of rated life, it works as flowering light for small spaces or as side lighting beside an existing fixture.
Secret Jardin TLED 26W Bloom – 54 cm LED bar for the flowering phase
The Secret Jardin TLED 26W Bloom is a slim 54 x 4 x 3 cm LED bar carrying 114 diodes in a flowering-weighted spectrum. It puts out 2050 lm at 80 lm/W, weighs 0.36 kg and runs straight off mains power with no external driver. It is aimed at small flowering spaces and at side lighting within a larger tent.

26 W on the label, 23 W at the socket
This product appears under two wattages in spec sheets, and neither figure is wrong. 26 W is the nominal rating: 114 diodes at 0.23 W each. 23 W is the draw actually measured in normal operation. Circuit and power-strip sizing works from the nominal figure; running-cost calculations work from the measured one. On a single bar the gap is trivial, but it compounds once several units share a supply. The driver sits inside the extrusion, so no ballast or external power brick is involved.
The spectrum: three banks of 38
Where a generic LED bar runs one colour temperature, this TLED splits its 114 diodes into three equal banks. The 38 infrared diodes contribute far-red; in combination with the red light a plant receives anyway, that waveband is associated in the literature with higher photosynthetic efficiency than either component delivers alone. The 38 diodes at 2100 K supply the warm red-orange cast that approximates an HPS spectrum. The 38 diodes at 3000 K extend coverage towards warm white. A 120 degree beam angle spreads that output widely enough to avoid shadowed patches at 15 to 20 cm above the canopy.
Primary light or side lighting
- Primary lighting in a propagator, grow cabinet or micro-grow, with a recommended coverage area around 60 x 40 cm
- Side lighting: mounted vertically on a tent pole, reaching the lower leaf strata that an overhead fixture cannot cover by angle of incidence
- Low heat output, which allows the bar to sit close to the canopy without scorch risk
- Supplied clips allow horizontal or vertical mounting on tent poles
The decision comes down to geometry: a 54 cm extrusion spreads light along a line rather than over a square. As a primary source it therefore suits an elongated layout or a propagator, while as supplementation that same shape is the advantage, since the bar can run the length of a plant row. Check the pole diameter of your tent before ordering, as it varies between manufacturers and the clips cover a limited range.
For a larger area, the TLED 42W Bloom applies the same principle in a longer extrusion. For the vegetative stage, the TNOLED 2x40W Grow supplies the cool-spectrum counterpart. The full range sits in the Secret Jardin TLED category.

Why is this bar listed as both 26 W and 23 W?
26 W is the nominal rating Secret Jardin markets the bar under: 114 diodes at 0.23 W apiece. 23 W is the draw measured in use. Both numbers are accurate, but they answer different questions. Use 26 W when sizing a circuit or power strip, and 23 W when working out running costs over a season.
Does it need a separate driver or power supply?
No. The full electronics package, driver included, is housed inside the bar. It connects directly to a 230 V socket. No ballast and no external supply are required, which is a point in its favour in a grow cabinet where every centimetre of clearance is accounted for.
How does it compare with the TLED 42W Bloom?
Length and output. The 26 W version measures 54 cm; the 42 W version is longer and covers more area. A propagator or single-side supplementation is well served by the 26 W. Lighting a full tent wall, or covering a larger area as the primary source, makes the 42 W the better value per square metre lit.
Can the bar be dimmed?
No. The onboard electronics drive the diodes at a fixed level and there is no dimming input. An external dimmer or voltage regulator does not belong upstream of it. Growers who need variable intensity should choose a fixture with a dimmable driver; with the TLED, mounting height is the adjustment available.
