California Lightworks SolarXtreme® 1000 UVB

The SolarXtreme 1000 is an easy to use full-spectrum LED grow light designed especially for grow tents and smaller-scale home growing. Covering 25 square feet, it is one of our most productivity-enhancing LED grow lights.

The SolarXtreme series uses high efficacy white and deep red individual LED diodes, as well as new direct AC drive technology, which eliminates the need for LED drivers that can turn large LED lights into energy guzzlers. This offers high-efficiency LEDs at a much lower cost than traditional LEDs. This fixture puts out a full spectrum suitable for all phases of growth without the need for adjusting.

Our newest horticultural LED lights suit different types of growing operations. If you’re looking for full-spectrum LED lights to use indoors, this is one of the most efficient and effective products on the market.

A low heat signature not only conserves energy but protects your yield as well. Precise controls enable you to use the SolarXtreme 1000 with all types of indoor plants, flowers, and vegetables. This system enables more yield per power draw than any other indoor LED grow lights built for such a wide range of yields and applications.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean LED and UVB Lenses: Use a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris. For more thorough cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol to avoid damaging the LEDs or UVB lenses.
• Inspect UVB Bulbs: Regularly check the UVB bulbs for any signs of dimming, discoloration, or damage. Replace them if they show signs of reduced output to maintain optimal performance.
• Ensure Proper Ventilation: Keep the air vents and cooling fans free from dust and obstructions to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating. Clean vents and fans with compressed air or a soft brush as needed.
• Monitor Light Output: Watch for any flickering or inconsistent light intensity, which may indicate the need for maintenance or replacement of bulbs.
• Check Power Connections: Inspect the power cables and connections for wear or damage, ensuring they are secure and free from frays. Replace any damaged components to maintain safe operation.
• Avoid Excess Moisture: While the unit is designed for grow environments, avoid exposing it to direct water or excess humidity to prevent internal damage.
• Update Software (if applicable): If using a SolarXtreme® controller, check for firmware updates to optimize light schedules and performance.
• Proper Mounting: Hang the unit at the recommended height to ensure even coverage and prevent light intensity damage to plants.
