Iluminar iL8x LED 670W VS Lex Grow 1800 Pro Commercial LED Grow Light

You must be familiar with the LED lights as these lights are now commonly being used for almost all purposes. Whether you want a domestic indoor light, a smart light, or outdoor decorative lights, you will find a lot of options that use LED lights.

Although, there is one more niche category of LED lights that are only familiar to those who have a passion for indoor plantation and botany in general. Here are some things to keep in mind while buying LED grow lights:

• The intensity of Light: This is probably the most crucial factor of LED grow light as it directly affects the growth potential of your plants. You will be needing the perfect amount of intensity regarding the plant you are going to use it for. For versatile use, choose the one that can be calibrated.

• Coverage Area: The coverage area of a full spectrum LED grow light generally dictates its illumination capability and surface area. Generally, the LED grows light needs to cover the entire planting area to ensure the proper and uniform growth of the plants.

• Reliability: The LED grow lights are not the most affordable equipment when it comes to its price. Thus, buying the one that offers the most reliability makes more sense as you will not be able to repair or replace damaged LED lights on a panel with ease.

What to Consider When Choosing the Best LED Grow Lights

The following sections detail some of the most important qualities to keep in mind when shopping for the best LED grow lights for your needs.

Light Spectrum 

Natural sunlight features all the colors on the electromagnetic spectrum. Some LED lights can reproduce only certain color frequencies, while full-spectrum white LED lights produce all the hues necessary for every stage of the growing process.

• Blue light helps plants grow in the earliest stages of their lives. It’s the first color that plants can absorb in their vegetative state.
• Purple light is also used in the vegetative state; however, it’s not as effective for photosynthesis as blue light.
• Red light helps in the latter stages of growing and is essential for buds to flower.
• White light encompasses all the colors of the spectrum. Used alone, it can be effective for every developmental stage.

Iluminar iL8x LED 670W 

The ILUMINAR LED is designed to outperform the competition with additional diodes and a tuned spectrum to deliver iconic results. The 670W iL8x ILUMINAR has a tuned full spectrum LED array specifically engineered for vegetative and flower cycles that require high μmol performance at a lower clearance to the canopy. The IL8 performs the best at 10-12” from the top of the canopy.

* The iL8x is perfect for either large commercial facilities or stand-alone hobby use. The center mast allows the LED bars to be hard mounted to the mast or remote mounted for multi-level grow environments where every inch counts. *Every environment is unique and if you're using additional supplemental lighting, it will change the light layout requirements.
