Why LED grow lights are the most suitable for plant growth?
15, November 2021
Now, many growers and farmer choose to use LED grow lights instead of traditional grow lights. LED grow lights have been the popular trend in the market. Maybe many customers would like to know why the LED grow lights are the most suitable for plant growth. So, today, we would like share something with our customers.
Generally speaking, there are four kinds of grow light in the market：fluorescent lights, metal halide lights, high-pressure sodium lights and LED lights.
Comparison of four kinds of grow lights:
The light sources of traditional grow lights are generally fluorescent lights, metal halide lights, high-pressure sodium lights, however, these light sources have outstanding shortcomings:
1. Uncontrollable spectrum: the photosynthesis of plants generally requires light of 400nm-700nm, of which blue (400-500nm) and red (610-720) light contribute the most to photosynthesis. These traditional lights generally focus on green, orange, and red light, and don't make much contribution to plants.
2. High energy consumption: high power consumption, low luminous efficiency.
3. High operating costs: Traditional grow lights are relatively heavy and easily damaged, resulting in high maintenance costs and high labor costs.
Compared with the traditional light source, the new LED light, such as our WING series grow light has the advantages:
l Electro-optical conversion efficiency: over 0.9W power factor.
l Full spectrum: 3000k+5000k+660nm suitable for every growth stage of plants.
l Relatively mall size and long life: foldble design & ＞50,000h life span
l Low heat: It also has a low-heat cold light source, which can be illuminated at close distances
Therefore, LED grow light is an ideal light for modern facility agricultural plants. It has good application prospects in the fields of agriculture and biology. If you want to know more about our WING series grow lights or other series grow lights, please feel free to contact us.
