Advantages of LED Grow Lights over Fluorescent Grow Lights for Indoor Plants
Obviously, fluorescent lights are far better choice that incandescent bulbs for fluorescent bulbs are cooler and cost less. Nevertheless, LED lights are more preferable compared with fluorescent.
More environmental-friendly
As a global citizen, everybody should contribute to environment protecting, which proves to be more and more important in our daily life. If you are choosing grow lights for your indoor plants, please bear in mind the importance of protecting environment and saving natural energy.
Compared with incandescent, fluorescent grow lights are a little bit much friendlier. However, fluorescent grow lights contain mercury which is harmful to environment and difficult to dispose. At first, LED plant light were used for display screens in high-tech productions like electronics. However, nowadays, you can see LED grow lights everywhere, such as home, office and most importantly for us, they are perfect for growing indoor plants. Because of their low heat productivity, they use much less energy which massively decrease the electricity costs.
More durable
LED grow lights are as bright as halogen bulbs but they last longer, 60,000 hours approximately. Fluorescent bulbs, however, can only last 10,000 hours at almost.
In addition, LED lights are suitable for all growing stages of different plants, especially those bloom or grow fruits because they produce the best light for flowering. On the other hand, fluorescent lights are effective only during the first stages of the plant’s cycle. Also, not all kinds of plant are suitable, only leafy and vegetative plants.
More effective light
The lights emitted by fluorescent bulbs do not shine as intensively as other light bulbs. In that way, plants aren’t able to fully take advantage of the lights though they are cooler and burn more efficiency. The problem can be solved of course by placing the lights more closely to plants. However, the heat radiated from the light might dehydrate the plant and effect the growth of plants. LED grow lights, which shine strongly enough lights, can avoid this damage.
The aim of grow lights for plants that kept indoor is to produce the most effective lights for plant. LED lights, fortunately, meet all demands such as light type, wavelengthand light duration, etc.
So, if you want to give your plants the best “light bath”, you know what to choose.
Introduction of LED grow light bulbs
Bulbs are an important part of LED products and determine directly the quality of LED products. Nowadays, LED bulbs are widely used in all kinds of production areas, such as, grow lights, illumination, large screen display for ads, traffic lights, decorating, computer, electronic toys, switches, telephone, advertising and city enlightening.
LED grow lights of different size have different number of bulbs. For example, a 600-watt LED grow light has 600 LED grow light bulbs, with each bulb one-watt. Likewise, a 90 watt LED grow light has 90 bulbs. There is a chip inside each bulb. Chip, the core of the product and also the most expensive component, plays an important role and determines the luminance decrease and stability. The chip we use is of the most high-end brand in China. Of course, you can also customize middle-end chip, which is much cheaper. However, it is advisable that you use high-end ones. It is worth noticing that in the LED industry, price is not of paramount importance. If you buy LED grow light from other suppliers at a much lower price, but later find out that it’s of poor illuminating quality. It is likely that the chip in the bulb is a low-end one.
LED chip is usually round or square and LED of different colors is determined by the chip of different wavelengths. For example, the general wavelength of red chips (the bulb producing red light) is 620 ~ 630nm (nanometer), that of green chips is 527nm, of blue chips is 470nm and of yellow chips is 585nm. White LEDs use blue chips as well and you just add a proper amount of phosphor on the blue chips to produce white light.
The wavelength of the red chips we use is 660um, longer than the ordinary red light wavelength, which is 620 ~ 630um. Wavelength of 660um is more suitable for plant growth, but is more expensive. If you need chips of 620~630um wavelength, it will be comparatively cheaper. We believe that only the products of best quality can win the trust of the clients. Therefore, without special request from the clients, we will use chips of the most high-end brand and red chips of 660um wavelength.
