Meet the Aspect Gen 2: A New Era of Indoor Grow Lighting

Meet the Aspect Gen 2: A New Era of Indoor Grow Lighting

At Soltech, we’ve always believed plant care should be equal parts science and style. With the release of the Aspect Gen 2 Grow Light, we’re taking that belief to the next level. Thoughtfully redesigned using real customer feedback, this next-generation pendant grow light is smarter, sleeker, and more powerful, all while maintaining the clean, design-forward aesthetic that made the original Aspect a favorite.

Whether you’re a dedicated plant parent, interior designer, or sourcing for a commercial project, the Gen 2 was built to meet your needs. It improves on everything you loved about the original while introducing thoughtful updates that support your plants and your space.

 

What’s New in Gen 2?

The Aspect Gen 2 isn’t just a refresh; it’s a true evolution in plant lighting. Every feature has been refined for better performance and a better user experience:

  • 110% More Usable Plant Light (PPF): Now with double the plant-usable light output for stronger, healthier growth. This is compared to the Original Small Aspect. It is a 20% difference from the Original Large Aspect.

  • Integrated Dimming: Easily control brightness using the built-in dial located on the fabric cord—no additional hardware needed. It’s a seamless way to tailor light levels to your space.

  • Enhanced Precision Optics: Improved beam angles reduce glare and focus the light exactly where your plants need it.

  • Timeless Design, Sleeker Form: Now lighter and more compact than the original Aspect, while still delivering the same signature visual impact.

  • Energy Efficient: Uses just 36W—less than the original 40W Large Aspect—while delivering even greater light output for its size.

Thoughtful, Sustainable Design

The Gen 2 isn’t just better for your plants. It’s better for the planet, too. We’ve reduced packaging size and eliminated plastic, using molded paper pulp inserts to securely hold the light, install guide, and cord management materials.

Our packaging is recyclable and designed to minimize shipping waste. For refurbished or lightly loved units, we also ship using 100% recycled brown cardboard. Sustainability starts at the source—and that includes how we package and deliver your light.

 

From a Small Team, Designed to Make an Impact

The Aspect Gen 2 reflects over 3 years of research and development, shaped by direct feedback from our customers. It’s a major milestone for our small but passionate team of seven, and we’re excited to bring this next-level light to homes and projects around the world. We’ve poured our care and attention into every detail—from performance to presentation—so your plants (and your space) can truly shine.
