What can we say about this test? So far this is the most intense LED we've ever tested. The PAR meter measures the intensity of light within the spectrum 400 nanometers to 700 nanometers, which encompasses the wavelengths-both red and blue-that plants use to photosynthesize. By measuring 33 different points within the 4' x 4' grow area footprint with the PAR meter, we feel as though we're able to gather an understanding of what the intensity of a light is within the spectrum that plants use to photosynthesize. Lumen measurements are used for HID bulbs when they were used as street lamps (their original use), to translate the brightness to the human eye, not necessarily the brightness in the spectrum that plants use to photosynthesize.

We used this meter instead of a luxmeter because measuring lux or lumens only measures the light visible to the human eye. We use a Sun System Handheld PAR meter over a 4' x 4' footprint drawn out with a 3' x 3', 2' x 2', 1' x 1', and center point within it. If you're not familiar with the way we do footprint and PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) test here at Growers House, then read this paragraph-if you've already know what we're talking about, skip this paragraph. Check out our unboxing review of the Solar Storm 800w unit if you're unfamiliar with it. Plus, from what kind of growth and yield we saw out of plants in our retail store under this light, we had to see the numbers this light put out for ourselves. When you're tired of dealing with all the heat of HID's but you need more than what other LED's are offering, California Light Works will give your plants everything they need for strong, healthy growth.We've gotten so many requests for a footprint review of the California Lightworks Solar Storm 800w LED grow lights that we just had to test it. Single plants and big gardens love California Light Works's LED's.

To take things to the next level, the SolarStorm LED comes in 440w and 880w versions with a full spectrum of light with additional UVB bulbs for vigorous resin growth.

The Solar Storm has adjustable spectrums to give you an all white, all red, all blue, or combo light just like your favorite LED's. Now, if you need lights with lots of juice the Solar System and SolarStorm are your go-to LED lights. If you're looking for an all purpose light in a compact size, the SolarFlare 220w Full Cycle will grow a 2'x2' area from seed to harvest easily. Need a light for vegging or flowering? The SolarFlare 110w VegMaster and 220w Bloom Booster LED's come with wavelengths designed to boost branch and flower growth respectively. No matter what your plants need, California Light Works has a light for them. And if you need a grow light for an entire grow season- even better! They've got some of the strongest, more innovative LED's around that'll give your plants traits you've hardly ever seen before. While most L.E.D.'s are made for general use, California Light Works has an LED for any plant at any stage of growth. California Light Works pushes LED grow light technology to the limits, then exceeds them.
