Solux Pro LED Tube 10W – Full Spectrum 60cm Grow Light for Cuttings & Supplemental Lighting

The Solux Pro 10W LED Tube (60cm) is the ultimate low-consumption lighting solution designed to root your cuttings faster and eliminate shadow spots in your indoor crop, providing a balanced full spectrum that mimics natural sunlight.

Is your lighting setup holding back your clones?

Many growers struggle to find the sweet spot when starting seeds or rooting clones, often unsure if they are giving too much light intensity or not enough spectrum coverage. It’s a common headache to juggle between high-powered lights that generate too much heat for delicate seedlings and cheap bulbs that don't provide the necessary photons.

The consequences of this uncertainty are frustrating: seedlings that stretch endlessly looking for light, weak stems that can't support future buds, or worse, clones that dry out and die because the temperature was too high. That feeling that your genetics are failing is often just a matter of not having the right tool for this specific stage.

This Solux Pro LED tube solves that dilemma by offering a professional, cool-running, and spectrum-optimized light source that guides your plants through their most vulnerable phase. It turns the chaotic start of a grow into a systematic, successful process where every cutting takes root.

Phase 1: Preparing the ground

Before you even plug it in, you need to assess where this light will serve you best. Whether you are setting up a dedicated nursery or fixing a lighting deficit in your main room, the environment matters. Since this unit runs cool, you have more flexibility, but placement is key to efficiency.

• Check your space: Measure your area to ensure the 60cm tube fits comfortably, especially if using cutting cabinets.
• Determine the function: Decide if it will be the main light for clones or side-lighting for flowering plants.
• Power source: Ensure you have a standard 220V outlet nearby or an extension cord if mounting vertically in corners.
• Mounting surface: Verify you have bars or hooks to hang it from; zip ties or light hangers are usually essential here.

Phase 2: Setting up the product

Getting the Solux Pro tube ready is incredibly simple, but doing it right ensures safety and longevity. This isn't just a bulb; it's a piece of agricultural equipment that needs to be secured properly.

1. Unbox carefully: Remove the tube from the packaging, checking that the IP65 connections are intact.
2. Install the clips: Attach the mounting clips to the ceiling of your propagator or tent poles.
3. Daisy-chaining (Optional): If you bought multiple units to cover a larger tray, connect them in series now (up to 6 units) to minimize cable clutter.
4. Secure the light: Snap the tube into the clips or hang it using pulleys if you need adjustable height.
5. Power up: Connect the main power cable and switch it on to verify the full spectrum array is firing correctly.

Phase 3: Use / growing step by step

Now that you are set up, here is how to manage the light cycle for maximum root development and vegetative growth.

1. Start height: For fresh cuttings or seedlings, place the light about 30-40 cm away to avoid stress.
2. Photoperiod: Set your timer to 18 hours on and 6 hours off for vegetative growth.
3. Observation: Watch for "praying" leaves; if they reach up vigorously, they love the light.
4. Adjustment: If seedlings stretch (get tall and thin), lower the light by 5 cm.
5. Hardening off: As plants establish roots, you can bring the light closer (up to 15-20 cm) to encourage compact growth.
6. Supplemental use: If using it as side lighting in indoor grow setups, position it vertically to hit the lower buds that the main light misses.
7. Monitor heat: Although it's LED, ensure there is still some airflow around the fixture.

Phase 4: Closing, maintenance and learnings

Once your clones have rooted and moved to the vegetative room, or your harvest is done, a little maintenance goes a long way. These LEDs are durable, but dirt reduces their output significantly over time.

Wipe the protective cover with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust, calcium spots from humidifiers, or resin splashes. This ensures the PPFD (light intensity) remains high for the next batch. Store it in a safe place if not in continuous use, coiling the cable loosely to avoid internal wire damage.

Advantages of following this flow instead of improvising

• Higher Success Rate: Proper distance and spectrum mean fewer dead clones.
• Energy Savings: You aren't wasting 200W on a seedling that only needs 10W.
• Better Structure: Plants grow compact and strong, not stretchy and weak.
• Total Control: You eliminate the variable of "bad lighting" from your troubleshooting list.
• Versatility: You can easily repurpose the light for different stages or setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

How close can I put this light to my clones?

For fresh cuttings, start at 30-40 cm. Once they root and show new growth, you can lower it to 20 cm. If you see bleaching on the leaves, back it off.

Can I use this for the flowering stage?

While the spectrum supports it, 10W is too weak to be the main light for flowering dense buds. However, it is excellent as supplemental side lighting to increase yield in the lower parts of the plant.

Do I need a ballast for this tube?

No, the Solux Pro LED tube connects directly to 220V. It has an internal driver, making it plug-and-play.

Is it waterproof?

It features IP65 protection, meaning it resists humidity and splashes, which is perfect for the high-humidity environment of a propagator or full spectrum led grow lights setup.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve always said that the secret to a massive harvest starts with a healthy root system. I use these 60cm bars specifically for my mother plants and the first two weeks of my clones. Before I switched to these Solux bars, I used old fluorescent tubes that lost intensity way too fast.

The difference I noticed was in the internodal spacing—my clones stopped stretching and started building thick stems right away. Plus, being able to link four or five of them together with just one plug makes my propagation shelf look super clean and organized. It’s a small investment that pays off every single cycle.
