Bought a 275 for grow tent 3x3 and was told by the lady it was the best for my tent. I grew plants but only 6 inches tall full grown. In my other tent I used Photontek and my plants are 4foot to nearly 6 . 10x the bud production in the Photontek grow. California light works are junk and need to rethink there lights. Terrible lights. Do not buy California light works!!!!!

Failed week 6 first harvest. Disappointed in response.

I paid a lot for these lights. I was sold on the idea that it couldn't fail. 5 sets of drivers in each mega drive....Problem was, in my first harvest, during week 6, a controller/timer for 1 of 6 mega drives died. They shipped me one that is due to arrive late the following day. I asked that they send a backup controller as well in case this happens again. They said no, I have to purchase one. So, remember there is a single point of failure and your entire room will go dark until they ship you something. When I was troubleshooting I took a look at the megadrive unit and it wasn't put together well. Components weren't screwed down tight and everything was loose. They look good just need to not fail or you are dark. Redundancy not quite! Wonderful support, not really.

Pure junk

Pure junk. Would rather get a $120 light from Amazon. You would think with their huge prices that quality control would be impeccable it is far away from that. They will send you replacement parts if you want to shut down your grow until they come. They are a joke. You want real quality, use Kind led or Blackdog. I double to triple the yield of CLW. What a major disappointment and nearly a grand down the toilet. Will quit growing before I would ever use CLW again
