California Lightworks SolarSystem 550 UVB

The SolarSystem 550 UVB LED Grow Light utilizes the latest generation of high-efficiency LEDs as well as the most versatile control system on the market. This commercial-grade indoor LED lighting system is well suited to be used as a single light in a grow tent or as a group of several hundred grow lights in a large commercial operation.

California Lightworks’ SolarSystem 550 LED grow light system offers programmable spectrum control over multiple wavelengths to overcome the limitations of high-intensity discharge lighting systems. It operates at 50-60 Hz and draws a maximum current of 3.3A @ 120 V, 1.65 A @ 240 V. Power consumption ranges from 0-400 W, which is exceptional compared to traditional UVB grow lights.

These full spectrum horticulture LED grow lights are some of the most durable, energy efficient commercial grow lights on the market. Plus, this highly efficient, but powerful system provides uniform lighting over a maximum flowering coverage area of 4’ x 4’, and a vegetative coverage zone of 6’ x 6’. Every indoor grower can benefit from this broad-spectrum system that supports photosynthesis and robust plant growth.

The SolarSystem 550 LED grow light is designed to improve yield and visual conditions, making it easy for growers to assess their crops in any environment. The SolarSystem 550 offers the following benefits:

Advanced LED Grow Light System
Replaces a 600 watt HPS with 40% Less Energy
Fully Programmable Spectrum Control*
Higher Yields and Better Quality
Perfect for Propagation, Veg or Bloom
Never Needs Bulbs- Easy to Install
Perfect for small or large scale grows

Powerful enough for veg or bloom, the Solar System 550 requires the fully programmable spectrum control with the Solar System Controller (below).

Note: The SolarSystem controller works only with the California LightWorks SolarSystem 1100, 550, and 275. It can control an unlimited number of lights from a single controller. It allows automated programming for spectrum control, 24-hour timer, and day/week/month calendar.

Programmable Spectrum Control

California Lightworks’ SolarSystem Controller allows you to adjust each of the three separate light spectrum channels automatically from 0% to 99%. You can adjust these manually or automatically with the built-in timer and calendar.

Channel 1 - Red & Deep Red
Channel 2 - Natural White View Mode
Channel 3 - Blue and Deep Blue

One controller can manage an unlimited number of California Lightworks’ LED grow lights or you can separate them into zones for a minimal cost.
Imitate the sun and nature as well as set sunrise and sunset patterns for every season so you get natural patterns for improve growth.
Variable Dark Period and finishing routines to maximize resin output.
Programmable UVB and IR supplementation for more potent results.

High Efficiency and Low Maintenance

The SolarSystem 550 can produce the same or greater harvest as a comparable HPS or MH light with an average of 40% less energy usage. Its advanced spectrum control improves efficiency and increases yields over old-fashion fixed spectrum lighting.
The California Lightworks SolarSystem controller can be linked to a light sensor in a greenhouse to maximize wasted energy.
CLW LED's are plug and play and lightweight so installation is a snap. Along with the advantages of never having to change a bulb again and the SS 550 is industry’s most efficient lighting system.

Guaranteed High Yields

Engineered and manufactured using top-shelf Osram LED's driven to their maximum power rating with the 550’s active heat management system means higher power for higher yields.
With adjustable spectrum control you can optimize blues and deep blues during vegging to produce vibrant growth, shorter spacing between nodes, and less stretching.
Maximizing red and deep reds in the flowering stage to increase yields and resin output.

Highest Return On Investment

The Solar System 550’s advanced design and construction guarantees you get a high powered LED fixture at a very affordable price.
The 550’s affordable price, lower energy usage and eliminating bulb replacement paired with increased yields means you get the best ROI in the industry.
Smart controls for optimal energy usage.

Networking & Integration

The Solar System 550 is a “smart” networking grow light system that will evolve as software advancements improve functionality without having to go through expensive equipment upgrades.
You can develop advanced lighting parameters and save them for any type of plants or growing conditions you need.
Additional lighting equipment options can be added to the system including separate fixtures for UVB, infrared or specialized supplemental lighting.
The SS 550 system can be integrated with light sensors or spectrum specific supplemental lighting for greenhouses.
Options for PC, wireless, internet, and smart phone applications are also available.

Basic Spectrum Mixes for the SolarSystem 550 UVB

This table illustrates the basic spectrum mixes for various growth stages for plants in the flowering stage. These spectrum mixes were arrived upon after 8 years of research and experience with the California Lightworks growers network and are supported by university studies on varying spectrum's effects on plant morphology.

In general, blue light is essential for vegetative growth to produce lush growth and bushy plants. Red tends to make plants stretch in the veg stage but is important for high yields in fruit or flowering plants. The SolarSystem 550 allows you to dial in exactly the spectrum mix you need for any stage of plant growth.

Growth Stage	Week Number	RED	WHITE	BLUE
Vegetative	Varies*	49	99	99
Pre-Flowering	1 to 2*	74	99	99
Flowering	3 to 5*	99	99	99
Ripen	7 to 8*	80	90	99

*Weeks based on an 8-week flower cycle
