California Light Works reviews?

Hows the 1000 watt one go, only puts out 100 watts, 2.7 efficiency, im looking at one

If you're in a 4X4 space you need the SF4000.
It's about 450-500 watts. 2 of the SF2000's would be even better for spread and hanging height variation.

I would look into HLG. I am happy with mine.

I have 2 of SS550 and the 275 veg to match. I went with CLW simply because I wanted commercially made where it wasn't DIY just in case of any electrical/fire issues, etc. Theirs are UL tested if I'm not mistaken/forgetting my old research.

Since that purchase a lot has changed, even their own line offering COB based models now. For my moms I picked up 2 of the small HLG boards and they're impressive as well. Tons of options and 'best' will change damn near it monthly...

Find a good company with fair prices and service/support offering solid products based on at least semi-recent tech and you'll be good to go no matter the brand imo.

The 'controller' for the SolarSystem's isn't that hot but works and does the job; Just wish it was wireless/bluetooth or something as under the hood the tech they're using should have supported it. There's a usb port for flashing the firmware which I had to do and their support was good through that deal - I think I had a pretty early model of the controller.

they had a decent black friday sale, my current plan is 2x sf2000 on either side of an air cooled 600w hps I already own and have plenty of bulbs for. Should beef up the sides of the canopy and allow better coverage for a good run.

Lose the 600. If you're in a 4X4, those 2 SFs will do it for you.

eh its a 4x8 space that i don't really use all of, I like a bit of light overlap. Plus its already paid for and has bulbs I'd like to at least use them for a single run each.

Well, in that case, try the 600 on one side and the 2 SF2000's on the other 4X4 and have a Lil shootout. See what you like more. You'll never know how LEDs really perform with the 600 in the center.

I just picked up a California Lightworks solar system 550 with UVB and controller for 998 shipped. I’d rather spend the money on them than some cheap China made one off Amazon. I was originally think blacksheep or blackdog LEDS, which were way more expensive than CLW. Idk I’ll let you know lol

i loved my SS 400 back in the day. i ended up selling it on Ebay for slightly less than I paid after using it for a few years. lol.

 

[Sofa King Smoooth]

Have 7 of the 550s on movers in various tents. Also have 10 of the uvb bars.
They do the job well.

Have one Marshydro tsl2000. It also does a good job for ALot less $$.

Not knocking either but definitely could have used the $$$ more wisely than CLW.

ive got a handful of the 160W solarstorm 220s that are pretty good. the later series with the osram diodes (you can tell them by the pattern, more diodes, spaced closer together, in 2 rows of 4. older 'solarflare' series used crappy diodes

they are pretty handy for easily lighting up a 3x3 veg tent and, 4 of them can do a 4x4 well (and spread out better than the 400 and 800 series which had too much light packed together and necessitated high hanging.) back when i was using them for primary lighting i got better results with the 4 spread out than one 880

theyre a basic light, not dimmable (but really not neessary in that size). decent efficiency similar to a DE HPS in the 1.6 umol/J system efficiency, with better spectrum and longer life. build quality is great they have a pretty sizeable heatsink and ive never seen a fan go

i can let a few go for $175 ea if anybody needs them. i still use them to this day here and there, but i had several tents worth, so i have a bunch laying around that all have less than a year's use on them. msg me or email.

Hey u have CLW to sell? Im interested for sure! Msg me back if u get a chance. T
