Maintenance Tips

• Keep Lenses Clean: Regularly wipe the LED lenses with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, use a lightly dampened cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
• Inspect for Overheating: Ensure proper ventilation by keeping the unit free of obstructions. Check that cooling fans are functioning properly and clean any dust buildup.
• Check Power Connections: Inspect power cables and connections for wear or damage. Replace any frayed or loose cords to prevent electrical issues.
• Dust and Debris Removal: Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust from vents and internal components to prevent overheating.
• Monitor Performance: Regularly check for dimming or flickering LEDs. If any issues arise, contact California Lightworks for troubleshooting or repairs.
• Proper Mounting: Ensure the unit is securely mounted at the recommended height and angle for optimal light distribution.
• Avoid Excess Moisture: While designed for grow environments, avoid direct exposure to water or excessive humidity to prolong lifespan.
• Software and Controller Updates: If using the SolarSystem® controller, check for firmware updates to maintain peak efficiency and performance.
