cheap led grow light

How much does it cost to run a 1000w LED grow light?

To find the monthly cost of running your grow lights use this formula: Total Kilowatts x kWh x hours per day x 30 (days). You need to divide your 1000W LED Grow Light (1,000 kilowats in 1 watt).

So, if we were to run a 1000 watt grow light 18 hours a day with the kWh rate we gave earlier, our formula would be: 1 x $0.1559 x 18 x 30 = $84.186/month.

Fohse F1V 1000W (277-480V) LED Grow Light

Thermodynamically balanced

The F1V form factor is a dual-purpose design. It utilizes passive cooling to keep the diodes operating at peak efficiency. It also disperses heat so efficiently that you’ll be able to bring your ambient room temperatures up, driving critical RuBisCO reactions closer to their full potential for more growth.

Precision photon density

Uniform photon density is key to predictable crop schedules. Tell us your room dimensions and desired PPFD and we’ll create your custom layout using complex modeling software. When we’re finished you’ll be growing in an environment with uniform PPFD levels. No hot spots. No cool spots. Just precision.

Spider Farmer SF7000 LED VS ECO Farm V3 600W SAMSUNG LM301H 
Quantum Board Comparison

Discussion: The Spider Farmer SF7000 LEDs and ECO Farm V3 600W SAMSUNG LM301H Quantum Board incorporate very similar designs and compete with one another directly. While many of the specifications are very similar there are a few which vary significantly.

Of particular importance are the brand and quality of LED diodes used by each model. The Spider Farmer utilizes Seoul White, Blue, and Red diodes which are of high quality and made in South Korea, and have very impressive PAR efficiencies equal to (2.58 umols/J). The ECO Farm utilizes Samsung brand Samsung LM301H+CREE 660+LG UV+CREE, which have very impressive PAR efficiencies equal to (3.03umols/J). The Samsung LM301H is claimed to have the world’s best PAR efficiency, so the ECO Farm fixture is more likely to stand the test of time. The Spider Farmer has a couple of advantages over the ECO Farm including the ability to control dimmability of up to 15 fixtures daisy-chained together. Also appears to have the ability to be mounted closer to the crop’s canopy without affecting PAR distribution as significantly.

Improper use of UV IR may have a negative effect on your plant.
Proper use of UV IR-containing luminaires to ensure your plants grow better and get more trichome density and THC content.
The role of UV: Increasing the THC content of plants, only be used in the last two weeks of the flowering stage, and if be used at other times in the plants, may have a negative effect on plants.
The role of IR: Increasing the number of flowers, only be used in the early flowering period and stopped once buds begin to appear. This requires the IR and UV must be individually controlled.
