Momac LED NRG-SAVR 640 VS Fohse ARIES 640W LED Grow Light
No doubt, grow lights revolutionized the way we grow crops. With LED lights, it is now possible to get better yields and a better margin than outdoors.
Recently, the LED grow lights market has grown to unprecedented levels, mostly due to improved indoor farming technology. More people are taking up indoor gardening because it is more profitable than in the past, and the prospect of growing your crops without chemicals is exciting for some of us.
Symptoms of under and overexposure
To gauge if your plants aren’t getting enough light, or are getting too much light it’s best to watch for the following indicative symptoms.
Too little light:
Plants get leggy — i.e. tall and spindly — as they try to reach towards the available light.
Variegated plants lose leaf variegation, turning solid green
Slow or no growth from the reduced photosynthesis rates.
New leaves are small or stunted in growth compared to older foliage.
Too much light:
Leaves appear sunbleached. Too much light damages the photosynthesis process and creates reactive oxygen species that cause free radical damage to plant tissues and chlorophyll.
Scorched patches appear on the leaves, especially those on the upper part of the plant.
Plants wilt at midday when the sun’s intensity is the strongest, regardless of the soil moisture content.
Leaves become brittle, dry down, and may die back if the overexposure is too great.

The sun-like light is best for indoor hydroponics and soil cultivation, such as potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, etc. The SMD LEDs used in this LED grow light are professionally customized and produced with the latest technology. Higher light intensity, lower speed of light decay, and higher PAR values than ordinary lamp beads.
Fohse ARIES 640W LED Grow Light
Features:
The secret of the Aries’ success starts with abundant PAR focused onto your canopy by polycarbonate focal lenses. Next, the Fohse LED grow light delpoys an advantage you won’t find anywhere else — swiveling light bars to achieve maximum canopy penetration by cross illumination to neighboring grow plots. Unlike obsolete plasma burning grow lights the Aries has no ‘Infrared Spike’ in its spectrum, meaning drastically less heat radiating down on and damaging your canopy. Your grow environment isn’t the friendliest place for sensitive electronics. That’s why the Aries can withstand the intense conditions of your grow. It’s impervious to hitchikers (dust, mites, aphids, spores). It can even withstand full submersion in 1 meter of water. The Aries is designed with three distinct spectral modes to suit each stage of your crop’s growth cycle from vegetative, to early flower, and finishing with late flower.
Things to Consider Before Buying Grow Lights
LED lights are changing the landscape of the way we grow plants, allowing both experts and enthusiasts to achieve optimal environmental efficiency with little effort.
LED grow lights bring certain benefits, but selecting the right product usually shows to be quite complicated. Grow lights make it easy to grow plants in the house, and fortunately, there are many grow light systems to choose from.
Choosing a LED to grow light can be challenging since there are many LED companies declaring they have the best item in the world. However, if you keep in mind a few factors, then, the decision is not very hard to take.
Here are the key facts to consider when growing new plants under lights:
Light Intensity
Seedlings need lots of bright light, and when they don’t get enough of it they get weak and leggy. In most cases, even the sunniest projection will not make available the intensity of light they need.
The best solution is to grow your new plants under exclusively engineered LED or fluorescent grow lights.
Duration of Light
Most vegetables are “long-day” plants, which means they need 14 to 18 hours of sunlight (or artificial light) each day. A rest period is essential for healthy growth, so be sure your new plants also get at least six hours of darkness. Using an automated clock is the best way to make sure that the lights are on for the right period of time each day.
Colour of Light
Natural sunshine is the best light for starting seedlings, but with full-spectrum light bulbs, you can come pretty close. Both LED and fluorescent full-spectrum lights produce a balance of cool and warm light that replicates the natural solar spectrum.
Footprint
Unlike the sun, whose impact is most of the Earth during the daytime, grow lights have a significantly smaller footprint. Footprint refers to the area that is covered in the light coming out of your grow light.
The further away your light is from your plants, the greater the footprint — but the lower the strength. The interplay of footprint and intensity is an important balancing point in a grow light.
Whichever light you go with, be sure to consider your unique farming needs pick the right light for your plants.
Conclusion
LED grow lights provide the best indoor lighting experience that your plants would need for their essential growth. These bulbs have a much longer lifespan than the other bulbs and promote no heat even if you keep them on for 24 hours.
This indoor gardening is a perfect example for any type of gardening you wish to do like basement storage of fruits and vegetables, indoor gardening where the sunlight comes at a minimum rate, and much more.
