We all know plants need light to grow and be healthy. Indoor plants often suffer from too little sun and can benefit from artificial light. Most lighting options today feature LEDs due to their long life and low energy use. But should you use full spectrum LED grow lights to grow plants? The traditional grow lights were fluorescent or incandescent. Let’s see Why choose LED grow light instead of other grow lamps? Keep reading for LED grow light info.
While traditional HPS, HID and fluorescent grow lights have helped a generation of growers get the job done, ask those same growers about yield and you'll likely hear the same thing: because these lamps don't offer a focused spectrum, greens can become leggy as they reach out for the light and then, as leaves approach the lamps, the tops will often turn away or even wither from the intense heat.
By contrast, LEDs provide the most light in the spectrum precisely where plants need it. Emphasizing the blues and reds that support vegetative and fruiting growth, LEDs maximize the the amount of light that can be photosynthesized, allowing plants to flourish and spread.
Efficiency
Any quality LED fixture provides only the exact wavelengths plants need (and in the exact ratio they need them). This means that you are not paying for any unused light. With other forms of lighting, like MH, HPS, fluorescent, CMH, etc., you are paying for the electricity to generate a lot of light in the yellow and green wavelengths. Plants do not use this light, so your money is going to waste.
The Full Spectrum
A major advantage of using LED grow lights is the huge spectrum of energy they provide. When you choose LED, you don’t have to worry about switching out lights as your crops mature through their growth cycle. Even better — you can actually install a system that’s tailored specifically to the type of crop you grow.
Heat
LED fixtures generate much less heat than other forms of lighting. This means you do not have to pay for expensive cooling equipment of for the costs to operate it. But be aware that the lower heat output can also be a disadvantage.
Longer Lifespan
LEDs offer more than just improved efficiency and cooler temperatures. You’ll also get more grow hours out of your LEDs — a lot more. LED grow lights typically last for 50,000 hours or more, whereas HID bulbs generally last 10,000 to 18,000 hours, depending on the specific type of bulb. When it comes to longevity, there’s really no competition.
No need for additional equipment
With HID lights, you need to purchase a reflector and ballast in addition to the grow bulb. An LED fixture includes everything you will need. Just plug it in and turn it on.
Less Bulk
Are you growing in close quarters? If so, that’s another reason to go with LEDs, which have the distinct advantage of being able to fit into smaller, tighter grow areas. This advantage goes hand in hand with the cooler temperature of LEDs — not only can you create a more compact grow room, but your crops can grow fairly close to the lights without the risk of heat burn.
