California Lightworks SolarSystem® 1100 UVB

The SolarSystem 1100 UVB (SS 1100UVB) combines our two most powerful commercial LED grow lights—the SolarSystem 1100 and the SolarSystem UVB—into one powerhouse package.

Included in the package is one (1) SolarSystem 1100, two (2) SolarSystem UVBs, and a pair of special brackets to mount the SolarSystem UVBs to the SolarSystem 1100. This is a perfect setup for fans of the discontinued SolarStorm 880.

The SolarSystem 1100 UVB is ideal as one grow light system in a tent or with multiple units chained together in a larger application. During the last two weeks of flower before harvest, chain the UVBs together for power and connect them to a timer for maximum output.

Featuring an active thermal management system, this LED grow light system has a peak operating temperature of 107°F while consuming 0-800 watts. The SolarSystem 1100 UVB offers a 5’ x 5’ bloom coverage area. It is ideal for commercial crop production and contributes powerful light that maximizes photosynthesis while promoting a highly controlled environment.

This commercial indoor LED lighting system is durable and energy-efficient. It is UL- and CE-certified, while a digital programmable spectrum control helps optimize output. This UVB grow lights are dimmable on three channels from 0% to 100%. The maximum light wattage is 24 W, so you get large LED grow lights with minimal impact on energy consumption.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean LED and UVB Lenses: Wipe the lenses with a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn buildup, use isopropyl alcohol with a lint-free cloth.
• Inspect UVB Bulbs: Regularly check the UVB bulbs for discoloration or reduced output. Replace them as needed to maintain effectiveness.
• Ensure Proper Ventilation: Keep air vents clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating. Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean vents periodically.
• Check Power Cords and Connections: Inspect all power cables and plugs for wear or damage. Replace any compromised components to ensure safe operation.
• Monitor Performance: Watch for dimming, flickering, or irregular light output. If issues arise, contact California Lightworks for troubleshooting.
• Limit Excessive Moisture: While designed for grow environments, avoid direct exposure to water or high humidity to prevent damage.
• Use UVB Responsibly: Follow recommended UVB exposure times to avoid plant stress and optimize growth.
• Update Software (if applicable): If connected to a controller, check for firmware updates to maintain optimal performance.
