Why LED Grow Lights Are Some Of The Best Around

LED grow lights are fairly new, being introduced to the market only about 5 years ago. There was much controversy over their effectiveness compared to traditional HID grow lights. HID grow light set-ups are usually expensive and involve a lot of materials, with only a 15% effectiveness rating. Most of the light in HID systems is usually wasted and produces a tremendous amount of heat.

However, LED grow lights are up to 95% efficient. This means most of the light is absorbed by the plant and is not wasted. They also produce only a little heat compared to traditional HID systems. If you’ve ever used grow lights you know that that some spectrums of color are more effective than others. Blue, red, and orange are all highly beneficial to photosynthesis.

When purchasing a LED system some things must be considered. First you want to look at the per bulb wattage; you will need about one watt per bulb. If you opt for cheaper light systems, you will find that your plants will not be as strong or as tall as they will be if they are subjected to a stronger light.

Another advantage to using this new type of plant lighting is that it uses less electricity. One 180W LED light equals a 600W HID set-up or equal to a 300 watt florescent light t5 style. This will reduce the amount of heat that is put off by the light, reduce the amount of electricity used, and can be used for both vegetative and flowering stages.

LED grow lights are the new growing system of the future. They help reduce electricity costs, reduce wasted light, and reduce the amount of heat produced. They are a great addition to any home-growers garden. They will help you to produce strong, hearty plants at a 1/3 of the cost of electric used from HID systems.
