WHY USE LED GROW LIGHTS?
FULL SEPECTRUM - LED (Light Emitting Diode) grow lights provide supplemental lighting for
growth throughout the year. This means you can:
• •
Start growing plants any time of year, even if they are out of season
• •
Improve overall crop quality by controlling the environment
• •
Plant anywhere you desire including your basement, garage, kitchen, or greenhouse
RECOMMENDED DISTANCE
• •
Plants are typically divided into high or low light level categories that depend on the PAR value.
• •
The PAR value of a plant is the measurement of light emission that a plant can absorb. The
higher the PAR, the more intense light energy the plant can absorb, thereby accelerating
vegetative and/or flowering growth.
• •
For instance, High Light Plants such as cannabis, tomatoes, peppers, and perennials require a
placement of 6 inches from seedlings through 2 weeks of vegetative state and then 16-30 inches
when they are in the vegetative or flowering state.
• •
Whereas Low Light Plants such as herbs and leafy greens require 12 inches from the seedlings
stage through 2 weeks of the vegetative stage and 24-30 inches when they are in the
vegetative or flowering state.
ADVANTAGES OF LED GROW LIGHTS VS. TRADITIONAL LIGHTING
• •
LED Grow Lights hold their brightness longer and are not susceptible to burning out since they
have no filament.
• •
LED Grow Lights are energy efficient, creating less heat for a lower energy consumption and
additional savings since there is no need to invest in cooling systems to keep the grow areas
from overheating
