BENEFITS OF USING LED GROWL LIGHTS:

Before the invention of LED grow lights people use normal fluorescent or High-pressure sodium lights for indoor growing. There were many drawbacks of using these lamps but at that time this was the only available technology. Where LEDs are small in size, fluorescent lights are bigger and not suitable for compact spaces. Because they much equipment to be installed before use, like separate heat sink systems, external fans or exhausts. All these need a large area and indoor growers mostly have a small area to grow.

Very easy to install based on plug and play phenomena. You do not need to learn anything before installing them and you also do not need an electrician or professional to install them if you already have the power supply in your space.

We already mentioned many times that LED Grow lights come with a proper ventilation system you do not have to install them separately.

It is totally up to you how many lights you want an interesting thing is you can install them adjacent to each other. They come in different power ratings so this gives variety to choose.

PAR VALUES FOR YOUR GROW LIGHTS:

PAR stands for Photosynthetically Active Radiation, it does not tell the power of your light. It shows the usable part of the light which means PAR is a range of light between 400 to 700 NM. These wavelengths are used by plants for photosynthesis. Other wavelengths or remaining light gets reflected by the plants.

PAR is divided into two parts PPF and PPFD.

PPF is flux this shows how many photons are emitted by the light which is usable for plants.

PPFD is flux density this shows how much of PAR is falls on your plant rather than just telling how much is emitted by the light source.

WHICH LIGHT SPECTRA IS GOOD FOR YOUR PLANTS?

Studies have shown that red, green, and blue light spectra give excellent results on plant growth in all phases. Therefore the manufacturers make led with different light colors. They come in red, green, blue, white and many other colors. It has been shown that different species need different types of light to grow. But researchers observed that when a plant is placed under both red and blue light it starts growing as it grows in natural sunlight. This means the combination of red and blue grow lights are effective in terms of normal plant growth.

White LED grow lights are also extremely beneficial in indoor growing the reason is it provides a full spectrum of light, white light has three different color lights in it. In simple words red, blue, and green light makes a white LED grow light. So if you have a white grow light this means you have red, green, and blue color light whose combination gives white color light. This one light will full fill all your needs and it is affordable.

Now the distance between the plant and the LED light should be a minimum of 10 to 14 inches to prevent leaf damage. Nowadays we have very high-power grow lights, especially in the field of LED grow lights. The longevity of LED grow lights makes them a cost-effective light source.

COLOR SPECTRUM OF LED GROWING LIGHTS:

Photomorphogenesis takes place in plants instead of photosynthesis while growing them under artificial or man-made grow lights. A different spectrum of light is required to grow a plant without any problem at any stage of growth. An LED light contains many different color diodes these types of lights are often called broad-spectrum grow lights. There are many simple grow lights in the market using them is not very beneficial as they only emit single color while plants need different wavelengths of lights to grow normally as they grow in natural light outside.

Now here comes on thing mind that which light to use or do I have to use multiple lights for indoor growing. The simple answer to this confusion is using the best LED grow lights which emit both red and blue color. Many studies have shown that generally, plants need more blue light in their vegetative phase while for flowering they required much red light so this gives an idea to use both these light for efficient growing. This is the reason that you can see the different colors of growing light in the market. Some people do not have enough space to install different color lights so to reduce this problem manufacturers take a step forward and make purple color LED light for indoor growing. This color is a combination of blue and red color diodes.

It is also easy to use a single light instead of using several grow lights. Some of the expensive LED lights produce UV rays and further studies have shown that UV rays have a positive effect on some species of plants.

White light is a full spectrum light, it has red, blue and green light diodes. The combination of these three colors gives a bright white color. Normally there is not a serious problem in using white grow lights but using too many of them give problems in many growing stages. It is highly advised to use a few white lights with some red and blue lights to make the environment comfortable and suitable for growing plants without sunlight. This method gives all essential light color to plants for perfect growing in each stage.

There is no dought LED’s can grow your plant efficiently, they are the low-cost growing lights. We advise you to choose the best LED to grow lights as they give a wide spectrum of light which is very important for the plant to grow perfectly without a natural light source, this also maximizes your plant growth. Some LED growing lights also produce IR(infrared) light and UV lights but these are a little more expensive than ordinary grow lights their longer lifespan and wide spectrum of colors make them the cost-effective and best choice to make.

USES OF LED GROWING LIGHTS:

LED grow lights are used for indoor gardening, vegetable production, growing medicinal plants, and herbs, etc.

Grow lights are famous in the food industry to increase the production of food in all seasons those are bigger in size with different shapes but they share the same technology as your household led grow lights. You can use them in the household growing only if you have a large space to install them.

Growing indoor is not an easy process there are many hurdles on this path. The main hurdle is you have to give full light to plants or seeds as much as possible without wasting emitted light. Many techniques are used to make this process more efficient.

Light reflectors are a good example of increasing the efficiency of light. One should install lights or put plants as close to each other as possible to grow them without any problem to cultivate them at the right time with heavy fruit.

High-intensity discharge lamps are widely used on the professional level where a large number of harvests should take place after some time.

There are different types of growing light but a few years ago most people use fluorescent light bulbs but with the development of LED grow light they start using this new technology as it is more affordable and efficient. Using a LED grow light for indoor gardening is a cost-effective and better decision

Fluorescent Grow lights burnt very frequently they do not work well where frequent switching is required and with the increased number of running time their lifetime reduces and need to be replaced more often which will increase the overall growing cost.

This is the big drawback of this old-fashioned technology. Whereas in the case of LED lights you do not need to replace them like fluorescent lamps. LED’s use of light-emitting diodes that never burnt and not need to replace them.

Several small LED’s are used to make one LED grow Bulb.

LED growing lights are made of high-quality plastic and are hard to break means almost unbreakable.

LED grow bulbs consume less energy as compare to other growing lights which lowers your overall production cost and this means more savings each time you grow something.

STEPS TO CHOOSE BEST LED GROW LIGHTS

Below are the steps to follow while choosing to grow lights.

The area of coverage: Make a clear decision about the space you are going to cover with grow light. This will give the idea of how many grow lights you need to buy and which type (style or shape) you need to buy the most. To cover the large area just use the LED lights adjacent to each other.

1. Growth cycle: It very important to know the growth cycles of your growing plants before seeding them into the pots or shelves. Full spectrum lights are required for full growth. Many advanced lights have ON/OFF switched on the back of lights so that you can easily adjust the spectrum according to the need for a plant (veg or blooming).
2. An angle of Lens: Always check the angle of diodes takes a minute to look closer to the diode to check the angle. Remember wider the angle means more coverage.
3. The last point is the price: This is your personal choice of how much money you want to spend on your grow light.

THE GADGETS YOU ARE GOING TO NEED FOR INDOOR FARMING

1. GROW TENTS: These are an excellent idea to grow plants in a controlled or limited space without disturbing the environment of the house. They are designed to control the smell of soil and fertilizers so that you get clean fresh air inside of your home. You can also protect them from children and give them a nice dark space when they need rest.
2. Sunglasses: These are designed to protect your eyes from the bright light of Growing Lights. Always wear them before working on LED lights as direct eye contact can damage your eyes.
3. LIGHT METER: Every grower should use this gadget to measure the quality of light even small growers can afford it.
4. Nutrients: These are very essential for healthy plant growth otherwise your plants will die before the flowering stage. Make sure to choose branded and quality products when it comes to feeding of your lovely plants.
5. Inline Duct Fan: These are used to make the Grow room Airy and well ventilated otherwise plants can die due to the lack of oxygen in the room or grow tent.
