Additional Features Of The California LightWorks SolarSystem 550 LED
Here are some more reasons we consider the California Lightworks SolarSystem 550 one of the best LED grow lights on the market.
The California Lightworks SolarSystem 550 Is High Efficienc, Low Maintenance
The SolarSystem 550 produces the same yield as an HPS or MH light, but uses 40% less electricity. This really adds up over the course of a 3-4 month grow cycle, especially if you are growing with more than one light! Futhermore, you can use the advanced spectrum control system to dial in your spectrum for the ultimate efficiency and yield.
You can also use the CLW SolarSystem Controller to link up a light sensor in your facility or greenhouse, to get the most out of any wasted energy. When it comes to growing, the last thing you want to do is deal with manufacturer support, or try and fix a broken light. The CLW Solar System 550 LED is plug and play and extremely light, so installation is a breeze. Made from only the highest quality components, you probably will never need to use the 5 year warranty! Plus, no need to change any bulbs with LED's. All of this adds up to the lowest maintenance, most efficient LED.
Unprecedented Yields & Quality With The California Lightworks SolarSystem 550
With premium Osram LED diodes, you can achieve the highest power possible, which leads to the highest yields possible. These LED's are driven to their maximum power rating using the exclusive active heat management system from California Lightworks.
With the adjustable spectrum control feature, you can maximize blues during veg and reds during flower to give your plants exactly what they need for that stage of growth. This level of control is unprecedented in other LED's at this price range.
Unbeatable Value With A FAST ROI!
Starting at only $799, this investment is a no brainer. The California LightWorks Solar System 550 uses advanced design and manufacturing that produces a high powered LED fixture at a very reasonable cost. A lower purchase cost allows you to invest in other areas of your grow to set up the highest chances of success, and get you a fast, proven ROI.

Basic Spectrum Mixes for the SolarSystem 550
The following table are basic spectrum mixes for various growth stages for flowering plants. These spectrum mixes have been determined from 8 years of experience with the California Lightworks grower network, and are supported by various university studies on varying spectrum effects on Plant Morphology.
In general, blue light is essential in vegetative growth and produces lush growth and bushy plants. Red tends to make plants stretch in vegetative growth but is key for high yields in fruit or flowering plants. The SolarSystem 550 allows you to dial in exactly the spectrum mix needed for any phase of growth.
