#1 California Solar Storm 440
5 out of 5 Stars
The SolarStorm 440 wins as our top pick in this price category in the overall rankings for best led grow lights under 1000 for 2017. California Light Works has been a top US company in the LED Grow light area for several years, but two unique features of their new SolarStorm product has separated them from the competition. They have gone to 5 watt Led emitters and have added two T8 florescent UVB bulbs. The 5 watt Led’s produce a better, stronger light and the T8 UVB bulbs cover the spectrum that isn’t available in Led and is believed to support higher potency when switched on during the final blooming phase. The 440 will cover a 6’x6’ area during growth and a 3’x3’ area for blooming.
Features of this light include:
• New Super High Flux 5W LED diodes
• 88 X 5W High Quality LED emitters
• Color Spectrum switchable between Veg. and Flower to deliver high quality yield
