Advantages of LED Plant Lights
Long lifetime | Recommended useful lifetime of 50,000 hours for red lamps- the equivalent of burning a light for 18 hours a day, 365 days a year for seven years and seven months. |
Energy efficient | Save 50-75% on power over HID lighting, plus reduce or eliminate power consumption by extra blowers and air conditioning systems. |
Better for plant growth | Plants can use nearly all of the light emitted from LED lamps. Only about 10% of the power used and about 35% of the light generated by metal halide lamps is useful for plant growth. |
Low heat output | Warm to the touch. LED lights produce very little heat. The temperature of our growing areas is controlled by normal residential AC/heating and a ceiling fan. In most situations, no special ventilation or air conditioning is needed. |
Economical | Long life, low power consumption, high efficiency and cool operating temperatures make LEDs a cost effective choice for your indoor growing needs. |
Light is Tunable | The amounts of red and blue light can be precisely controlled. With a track light system, light is directed exactly where you want it. |
More Versatile | Grow peppers next to African violets or orchids – all will thrive. LEDs will not scorch young or tender plants. |
