Cultiuana Lighting Test 2022 Cultiuana Grow and Show - Zeromitch Tests and Reviews CT-660 660Watt Light

[Zer0]

Hey everyone! I was picked to Review and test this CT-660 light out by Cultiuana. I will be giving my honest opinion of this light and doing my best to show what it can do in a 4x4 tent. This will be a long on going perpetual journal along with being a review of this product.

This is the light, very good looking light if i must say so myself. picture and specs were pulled from Cultiuana's website

Specs of the light

Features

Light spectrum and a par map in a 4x4 tent

Recommended hang heights, i will be using these as best as i can

Right now I put the light in my 4x4 that currently has 2 Sweet seed's Bruce banner and 2 Sweet seed's Red strawberry banana that are 5 weeks old tomorrow. Below them are some 2 week old Skunk Autos by Frost brothers that i am testing so this will be a good test for the light to run flower and veg at the same time. I will be keeping this tent perpetual so we will see many plants under this new CT-660!

My next post will be the unboxing video and pictures along with me hanging it up in the tent and my thoughts on everything. Thank you all for stopping by to see my grow and show for Cultiuana's CT-660.

Here is a video of me unboxing the CT-660


And here are the unboxing pictures

4 rope ratchets were included and they have metal gears! It is nice to know they won't break like the plastic ones can under a heavy load.

The power cord thats plugs into the wall outlet is a non-USA plug but they included a USA plug adapter so no issues here.

instructions that make sense, always a plus!

The power cable from the light to the wall outlet cord attach together very easy and lock together

Dimmer looks very nice and the knob has a nice feel to it when turning it to different settings, satisfying click for each setting.

The rope ratchet clips on the light come taped down to not make a ton of noise when in the box.

Me making room for our new light and I found a interesting way to install the light by yourself but a friend is recommend!

looks great in my 4x4 tent! @Cultiuana

This is the fine tuning process of leveling the light and getting it the correct hang height for your plants.

I would say I got it dialed in now so all of my plants will be getting some good par numbers evenly spread out.

This CT-660 light was not hard to open out of the box and setup alone but I would recommend a friend for a helping hand. I enjoyed the whole process of unboxing to setting up the light, easy instruction to follow and understand, you can't go wrong here.

I went ahead and did a Wattage test and a dimmer test and i'm happy with the results! This CT-660 pulls 710 watts from the wall, so i can say that this is above 5% of the 660 rated watts, LOVE IT!

Here is a video of my wattage test: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PfMVurQQmhU


I'm gonna be honest, i almost pushed the knob just to see what happens but decided not to lol

100% 711 watts

80% 568 watts

60% 401 watts

40% 275 watts

I am already seeing a heat reduction from having the CT-660 in my tent over my other lights, crazy.. my old lights were 600w and this CT-660 is pushing 700w+ with cooler temps! Very nice!!!

Thanks again :smoking: It sure is a good looking light! I love the black ends on the light very aesthetically pleasing, black and silver/grey go good together.

I thought I had a inferred temperature gun but i guess i misplaced it, i will get another one for testing the heat that this light puts off.

To the touch it is warm not hot, i can put the back of my hand on any part of the light, black parts or silver parts are all pretty cool/warm. The lights that this CT-660 replaced would burn me if touched for less than 2 seconds, ouch! very hot, so I can appreciate a light that runs cool

This CT-660 truly is an amazing light with its light spread, barely any heat it puts off, and the efficacy of it. I'm starting to sound like a salesman for this light LOL I'm just happy with what i am reviewing is all.
