California LightWorks SolarSystem 550 LED Grow Light Built for Programmable Spectrum Control
The California LightWorks SolarSystem 550 LED grow light pulls 400W on a 90-277V auto-sensing input and delivers 888 µmol/s of full-spectrum output across a 4×4 ft veg or 2×3 ft bloom canopy. Top-bin OSRAM SSL diodes, high-performance custom drivers, and a bulletproof active heat-management system are housed in a UL-listed, water-resistant body made in California with a 5-year warranty.
Programmable Full-Spectrum LED with 40%+ Energy Savings vs. HID
The SolarSystem Controller customizes spectrum and intensity for each growth stage and can run a single fixture or 1,000 lights from one head unit. Pre-set programs cover daily sunrise/sunset transitions, summer-like blue-dominant veg spectra, autumn-like red-dominant flower curves, and full seasonal compositions. The controller integrates with environmental controllers and light sensors so the SS 550 reduces power use over 40% versus HID while raising crop quality, and a compact form factor minimizes shadow effect in greenhouses.
Key Features
- 400W Power Draw: Pulls 400W at full power on a 90-277V auto-sensing input for veg, bloom, and finishing intensities.
- 888 µmol/s PPF: Delivers full-spectrum photon output at 2.2 µmol/J efficacy from top-bin OSRAM SSL diodes.
- Programmable Spectrum Control: Daily, weekly, and seasonal spectrum programs configure veg, bloom, and finishing curves with sunrise/sunset ramps.
- 1,000-Fixture Controller Scale: A single SolarSystem Controller automatically drives anywhere from one light to 1,000 networked fixtures.
- 40%+ HID Energy Savings: Cuts lighting power use over 40% versus HID with no ducting required and a smaller heat load on the room.
- Bulletproof Active Heat Management: Robust active thermal design protects diodes and drivers across long-cycle commercial operation.
- High-Performance Custom Drivers: Custom drivers tuned for the SolarSystem platform deliver consistent output across the auto-sensing voltage range.
- UL-Listed Water-Resistant Build: UL-listed fixture with a water-resistant body for damp grow rooms and greenhouse installations.
- Plug-and-Play Sensor Integration: Communicates with environmental controllers and light sensors for closed-loop spectrum and intensity control.
- 5-Year Warranty, Made in California: Backed by a 5-year warranty on a fixture designed and manufactured in California.
