Aspect Gen 2 review
"This light is amazing! I held off because of the price and am so glad I bought. Functional and looks great!"
Grow stronger with 110% more plant-usable light than the Small Aspect (2020) — while using less energy.
Aspect is crafted with premium components lasting up to 11 years running at 12/hrs a day.
Easily adjust the brightness to create the perfect ambiance for your home and plants.
With 110% more plant-usable light than the previous Small Aspect (2020), Gen 2 gives your plants more of what they need to thrive.
Unlike traditional reflectors, the Aspect’s precision-molded plastic optics direct light exactly where plants need it - without blinding you. That means less glare when you sit beneath it and a cleaner, modern beam that blends into your space.
Built-in dimmer lets you adjust intensity to suit any plant, any vibe, 365.
Better PPF-to-watt ratio means stronger plant growth using less energy than before - only 36W.
A longer 18ft fabric cord gives you more freedom to place your grow light wherever it’s needed. Includes upgraded hardware for better cable management and easier installation.
Rated for 50,000 hours (10+ years at 12hrs/day), backed by a 5-year warranty, and crafted for long-term performance.
The recommended hanging height for the Aspect Grow Light depends on the lighting requirements for your specific plant(s). The Small Aspect grow light is recommended for plants requiring low to medium, indirect light. The Large Aspect is recommended for plants requiring bright indirect or bright direct light.

Grow Guide
Every plant has unique lighting needs. Use this guide to position your Aspect Gen 2 Grow Light for optimal growth.
Meet the Aspect Gen 2, now DIMMABLE - a must-have according to our customers. Set the mood, adjust for picky plants, or just set it on a schedule and forget; the Aspect Gen 2 adapts to you.
*PPF measures usable light for plants, so more PPF is always better. The Aspect Gen 2 offers 110% more usable light than the previous small Aspect (2020) and 20% more than the previous large Aspect.
The new Gen 2 uses custom-molded optics to direct light exactly where your plants need it—downward. That means better growth, less wasted light, and no harsh glare when you're nearby.
The original Aspect helped establish Soltech as a leader in stylish grow lights. With two size options and a sleek pendant design, it set a new standard - but like any innovation, there’s always room to grow.
Less usable light for plants meant the original Aspect Gen 1 had to work harder and couldn't achieve the same results. We wanted to bring improved growing performance to our customers, maintaining the same price and high quality.
The original Aspect used a metal reflector that looked great, but scattered light in every direction—including right into your eyes. It worked, but wasn't always comfortable to live with.

"This light is amazing! I held off because of the price and am so glad I bought. Functional and looks great!"
"Soltech's Aspect was the first growlight I've ever purchased, and I am super pleased with how it has performed. The build quality is exceptional - the cord is really nice, the install/cable management hardware is also really easy to use and aesthetically minimal. I also love the dimmer. They supply a traditional timer in the box, but I have mine plugged into a smarthome compatible timer so I can have more finite control over the light timing, which I highly recommend."
"I have 5 grow lights from 5 different (well-rated) companies, and my Aspect by Soltech is by far the best. In the photo and video I've included, my Ficus Alii loves the Aspect ceiling light and basically hasn't responded to the floor lamp light bulb from another brand. I'm about to go buy more lights from Soltech and wanted to share these photos first for others!"
"This is my 3rd order of the Aspect light over the years. Not to replace existing purchses but to add to other area's of my house. I love the Gen 2 Led with the dimmer option. Great feature. The warm glo of the light just makes my house feel warm and cozy. My plants do so well with these lights. At first I thought a bit pricey, but the quality is excellent. I have had them in my house over 8 years."
"The light looks awesome! Both the warm color it outputs and the look of the actual light itself. Works great with any WiFi plug."
"I’ve wanted this light for ages. My windows face east, but the sun is blocked by other buildings after only a couple of hours. Now my orchids will thrive and bloom."
"Great , my plants are doing great. It’s so versatile and powerful that so many plants can get coverage. I would highly recommend it"
"Works perfectly for my space!"
"These are bonkers. I have 4 and have gifted 1 to my bf’s dad. We love them. All plant types thrive under them and the ability to dim is pretty cool- although my plants want all the light so I don’t use the feature. Def recommend. They look great and get the job done. Can’t ask for more. :) Also, customer service is amazing. Quick to respond and very patient with those of us that don’t read the description and order the wrong items. Ooops. Thank you!!"
""Why is it so expensive? How nice can a grow light be, anyway?" Very nice. This thing is premium. I've installed and been around designer lighting and this unit is on par. My first impression on turning it on was "oh, that color looks nice". It's very visibly a high-CRI unit with high-quality diodes/optics and electronics. I want hardwired units for my kitchen island now. I might look into whether the track heads are suitable for art displays. It's also heavier than I anticipated. I was originally planning to swag it from a drywall anchor. I didn't go that route and I'm glad I didn't."
