The Solux heating tube is essential for growing under LED systems that do not produce heat, unlike HPS or CMH systems. It guarantees uniform heat, essential for plant growth, especially during the coldest months and the first weeks of flowering. This tube is available in three different sizes, with powers adapted to your specific needs.
Tension | 220/230 V |
---|---|
Power | 120W, 180W, 240W |
Length | 60 cm, 92 cm, 120 cm |
Protection index | IP55 |

Q: Is this heating tube suitable for high humidity indoor grow spaces?
A: Yes, with its IP55 rating, it is resistant to splashes and sprays of water, making it perfectly suited to humid environments.
Q: What size greenhouse should I choose?
A: It depends on the size of your growing space. For larger greenhouses, a 120cm tube (240W) will be more suitable, while
The Solux Tubo Calefactor is available in several lengths: 60 cm (120W), 90 cm (180W), and 120 cm (180 to 240W depending on the model). For a micro space of 60x60 cm under LED, the 120W power of the 60 cm model is generally sufficient to maintain good thermal control, taking into account insulation and the desired temperature.
The Solux 60 cm 120 W heating tube integrates perfectly into a micro LED growing space, thanks to easy installation and included mounting brackets. It provides uniform heat distribution, minimizing the creation of localized hot spots, which is ideal for protecting your plants.
Its robust design allows for precise temperature management, and although it does not specifically come with a thermostat, it can be connected to an external thermostat for optimal control.
Finally, its IP55 protection ensures good resistance to the humidity often present in this type of environment.
For an indoor growing space of 60x60 cm illuminated by LED, a heating power of 5 to 15 watts would ideally suffice to maintain a uniform temperature without overconsumption.
However, commercially available heating tubes Heizrohr often start at around 50 watts, which can be too powerful for such a small volume. If you still wish to use a Heizrohr, choose the lowest power model available (50 watts) and make sure to equip it with an adjustable thermostat to prevent overheating.
In terms of size, a tube of 40 to 60 cm allows for good heat distribution in a space of this dimension. Place it in a way that diffuses heat evenly, for example along one side or under the grow tray, without directing it directly onto the plants.
For an even more suitable and economical solution, a heating mat of 15-20 watts may be preferable, providing gentle and constant heat without excess.
For a 120x120 cm grow box under LED lighting, a 90 cm Solux heating tube with a power of 180 W is ideal. This model ensures homogeneous heat distribution, thus stabilizing the temperature without excessive electricity consumption.
For more precise control or a larger cultivation area, it is possible to use multiple heating tubes connected to an external thermostat, ensuring centralized and efficient heat management.
Don't forget that the insulation of your grow box is crucial to limit heat loss and optimize consumption, and that a thermostat is essential to perfectly regulate the temperature.
To effectively integrate several Solux 120 cm 240 W heating tubes in your 1×1 m LED growing space, it's essential to limit their number to 1 or 2, depending on the actual heating needs of the room, in order to avoid electrical overconsumption and hot spots.
Preferably place them along the walls or under the growing tray, never directly above the plants, to promote a uniform heat distribution. The installation must be equipped with an external thermostat to maintain a stable and safe temperature.
Finally, one or two small oscillating fans are recommended to circulate the air and ensure optimal thermal distribution across the entire surface, thus avoiding localized hot spots.
The Solux heating tube is designed to emit a constant and uniform heat, thereby reducing the risks of hot spots in your growing area. However, even with good design, it remains essential to properly install the device and ensure sufficient air circulation to avoid any local overheating. This vigilance guarantees a stable and homogeneous temperature, optimal for the health of your plants.
For a 1m by 1m grow tent under LED lighting, we recommend a Solux heating tube with a power between 100 and 200 watts. The ideal length typically ranges from 50 to 100 cm, depending on the internal configuration of your tent.
Good insulation is essential to maintain a stable temperature, generally between 20°C and 25°C, while limiting energy consumption. Make sure your external thermostat can accurately manage this temperature range for optimal control.
This type of heating, well-calibrated and controlled by a reliable thermostat, will provide an effective and safe thermal supplement to your LED setup.
For uniform heat distribution with the Solux heating tube in a medium-sized growing space, it is best to mount it along the walls or under the growing bed, avoiding placing it directly above the plants. A distance of about 30 cm ensures even distribution without creating hot spots. Accompany this installation with an oscillating fan to circulate air and maintain a stable temperature.
Also ensure that the tent or room is well insulated and pair the tube with an external thermostat for precise heat control. For an area of about 1 m², a 90 cm, 180W Solux tube is an excellent compromise between power and coverage.
For a medium-sized growing room under LED lighting, a 240 W Solux heating tube (120 cm) is generally recommended. This power offers a good balance to maintain a stable temperature without the risk of overheating.
To optimize its installation, it is essential to use an external thermostat. Place it in the growing area to be controlled and set it to activate the tube as soon as the temperature falls below the chosen threshold, and to turn it off once the ideal temperature is reached. This ensures a uniform temperature and avoids sharp variations.
Also, make sure that the room is well insulated and install the tube horizontally to distribute heat evenly, avoiding the creation of hot spots. This method protects your plants while maximizing energy efficiency.
