Be brave. Don’t worry about “not having the skills” to assemble one of these DIY kits. This is not some weird Chinese product with instructions written in broken English and missing parts; This is American manufacturing at its finest, with multiple versions of instructional material, including step-by-step assembly instructions on paper, digital instructions (with pictures) on the website, as well as highly detailed assembly demonstrations on their YouTube channel… If you can build a Lego house, you can put together the DIY light kits. They include extra parts for damn near everything, just in case. The only issue I ran into was when I was installing the cable plugs, and that was only because I was using the YouTube instructional video as my reference, and the X6-1000 has different colored wires than the others, but I quickly figured it out by going to the digital instructions on their website, which literally show you pictures of which wires go where. These are the freight trains of grow lights. DONT COMPROMISE FOR LESS!!!!

Ugrading from blurple discount “1200w”(264 actual watts) lights, I can actually see my garden now. After seeing how fast my plants react to the light, I have already started planning my budget for upgrading to only these lights in my garden, veg and flower. I have also already begun logically shunning any LED light source inferior to this and attempting to sell my friends on this as their next light with my garden as proof.
Next, Bring on the spectrum upgrades! Augest cant some soon enough!
The future looks bright my friends

This is a follow-up review from my initial purchase review. I’ll first say this 1000w light is incredible! I’m about a week away from finishing and one of the biggest differences I’m noticing is the even coverage it provides compared to 1000w HPS I’ve used for over 20 years. The very outer edges of the garden are performing the same as the center. I also used to run a 50w fluorescent on each side to add spectrum and boost lighting on the outer edges so it was really 1150watts total. I haven’t turned them on and will be removing them. The plants are performing better than ever.
I can’t wait till the finish to really see the difference but I can visually see it’s outperforming 1000w HPS easily. 1000watts is still 1000watts so there is heat to deal with. I’ve always ran an air-cooled hood for the HPS so the heat was pretty manageable. I just had to slightly re-adjust things. I simply used the hood cooling fan to dump fresh air in the room working in conjunction with the room exhaust fan. All controlled with my environment controller. Problem solved. Went through 3 twenty pound tanks of Co2 in six weeks which is totally acceptable to me.
I can’t compare it to any other 1000w led available but this company will be my go-to and I will be spreading the word with 100% confidence and the customer service is outstanding. Super happy with my purchase!

This light is probably the best investment I could have made. The DIY kit is super simple to put together and definitely worth saving some extra cash for!
I have zero knowledge or skills of anything when it comes to electricity and I had it together within just a few hours. I could have probably done it within an hour if I did it all straight through. The one drawback is that I wish that the instructional video was catered to this light and not a separate model. I ran into an issue where it said to match wires xyz to xyz and it was actually xyz to abc.. also some of the finer details were left out. Overall very satisfied and it wasn’t a huge inconvenience. The light definitely packs a punch and I look forward to this current grow!

I bought this light after watching several reviews on youtube, and seeing them in videos of several growers that I watch. Everything arrived in a nice compact box and in a timely manner. Very simple to assemble if you follow the assembly video from their page. Although I didn’t need them, I was happy to see that they provided extra screws and connectors just in case. Being made in the USA was yet another reason to go with these lights.
Just started to grow with them so I don’t have much to go off of here, be very impressed with the quality so far.

Thanks for the great review, Jake! The X6-1000W is a beast and should make your plants just as happy as you are 😉 -Austin

So far this review is based solely on my experience of purchasing this light. I watched many Dr Coco led light reviews and watched him test the prototype. It was an amazing test so I checked out there website.
Emailed a few questions and got a very quick and helpful response. Ended up ordering this and the customer service has been stellar throughout this process. I’m very satisfied so far and am excited to get this thing fired up. I will update in the future if I’m satisfied with this unit which I’m confident I will be.

I’ve been an HPS grower for 20 years and wow LEDs are the future, especially Growcraft Chilled Tech lights. I think your lights are probably the best in the world based on the results from the 1000 watt DIY kit I purchased some time ago.
Now that I’ve had 3 weeks of playtime, it is night and day compared to any other lights I’ve tried. My plants are happy and very healthy under your LEDs. I’m so convinced of their performance I’ve taken down all my HPS fixtures and now flower only under Chilled LEDs! So impressed guys. Great job, great lights and great customer service.
Thank you for everything guys I will be definitely buying only from Chilled for all my lighting needs. Thanks again!

One light that’s well worth the $$$
Few months back I purchased the new X1 series, put it to use right away for my seedlings and clones. I Noticed a huge difference between the X1 and spider farmer that I was using so I decided to purchase the X6 1,000 to replace the large spider farmer lights I had been using.
Upon receiving the unit from Chilled Tech I was missing a few small screws on the upgraded push connectors, which I highly recommend for easy disconnect access storage purposes. Anyhow, I emailed support about the missing screws and pictures, and replacements were sect out that and day, which I received a few days later.
I will definitely be purchasing more X6 1,000 watt lights in the near future

We haven’t fully completed the setup yet as we are experimenting with different spectral compositions. However, we can attest to Chilled’s fantastic technical support and exceptional customer service. The team at Chilled are extremely helpful and any questions are answered promptly. They go beyond others to make sure everything is in order and the customer is happy.

This grow light is exceptional. It draws huge power and likes to flip my breaker so I have installed 30 amp equipment to run it and have seen no problems with the lights whatsoever. One problem I did have was that the instructional video for the assembly of this product had separate color wires than the product itself. A quick email to the customer service team and they replied with the fix on the same day! Worth the money!

Okay. I bought this light with the intent to get best quality on the market bit not only did i get an awesome light, the customer service from Austin was beyond exceptional. He treated me like I would’ve treated myself. With that being said I wasn’t looking looking for this type of customer service because it really wasn’t like customer service it was or less like dealing with the homie who work there. I had so many questions and he gave me all the answers. What Austin didn’t know was I just purchased 2 Mac books and a pair of diamond earnings a few hours prior to this purchase and was looking to save any red penny that I can. We talked back and fourth and he made a few suggestions that would benefit my pockets and not just trying to sell me something at the highest price point. In return he gain a loyal customer who will definitely recommend this company to all my friends in the future. Austin is the type of person I would hire just off the strength alone that he knows how to deal with a people, this isn’t something you can teach this is a trait of a naturally good hearted person who clearly want what is best for the person in general. I say give this man a raise because people like him only make for great business and will be the reason y’all would keep growing as a company. Much respect to Austin.

Well I had planned a full review at the completion of this run. However we had an AC go out at the worst week and didn’t catch it for close to 24 hours. So will not be able to provide reliable finish comparison data against the data from prior runs with the standard china pink cobs we had been using. Basics are we had between 4 and 6 china pink cob lights rated at theoretical 600W each (true draw of 120W each) in each 4×4 controlled space. So theoretically we are comparing theoretical 2400W china cob light (with T5 for some extra spectrum range), to a single true 1000W 6 bar Chilled light.
Even with the AC breakdown, I can already say the light is exceptional, possibly the best bang for the buck, I’ve had in this hobby. As others have noted I have been unable to turn the light full on as it is almost too much for a 4×4 space with tall plants. I can say just based on prior runs the increase in production quantity, and for sure quality is incredible. I almost feel like I’ve wasted the last five years under the cheap lights, but did learn what I needed to make the Chilled lights worth the investment.
The light is super simple to assemble, performs well beyond expectations, puts off almost no heat, and easily will provide more than adequate light spread over a 5×5 space. We have already ordered another and are expanding from 2 4×4’s to a single 6×12 room just because the light is so good that it makes the investment worth it. I cannot overstate how much these lights are worth obtaining if you seriously want the best light you can get at what i feel is an affordable price. As a bonus they have immediately responded to any questions I have had, so the customer service is top notch.
Can’t wait to get the next light that is on order and have plans for two more over the next year or so at another spot. I have looked at and tried a lot of “cheap” lights over a half decade and used the china pinks simply because I could stuff more quantity of light in a space for half the cost or less of “pro” lights I could find (and afford), and replace them (one about every 16 months) when they went bad and still not spend what a “pro light was going to cost and yield me in the end. If you are looking for a quality pro level light, that will last probably forever, at an affordable price, that beats buying cases of china lights, and you want to improve your quality and yield, you can’t lose on these Chilled lights in my opinion.

I must begin with a score of incomplete, but, at this point, I am completely satisfied. I have it mounted in a 5×9 tent with a second smaller light to flower 3 plants. Hanging at 24″ above canopy height and power turned down to 600W total. This is part of the incomplete score because I can’t crank it up to the full 1000W until I have it set up differently for my next grow. The light output far surpasses anything I’ve used in the past and my canopy is full and even. I have not had the light in operation long so I will have to follow up. DIY kit was quite easy to build. If you can afford it, you’ll never need to buy another.

This light is check so many boxes
Unbeatable ppf readings, cost per micro-mol is low, available in diy assemblies, goes together with ease, build quality is top notch, super low profile, spectral quality is excellent, efficiency is as good as or better than anybody in the industry, externally mountable drivers. The list goes on and one and on! Blown away by this light! Only thing I’d like to see is an ability to add UV which is actually coming
Bruce (verified owner) –
Awesome light ! Very easy to assemble and very well built. Only have had light for 1 week par readings are great for a 5×5 grow tent. Will leave further details on how light is coming along in future. 5 star light so far from what I see real bang for the price and very competitive against other brands such as California light works, gavita, crecer, blackdog, king spectrum, hlg horticulture and whoever else you can name. Great light great pars = big yields
