Many customers are very concerned about the brand of grow light power supply when choosing grow lights. Customers generally think that an internationally renowned power supply is a better power supply. In fact, judging whether a power supply is suitable for your grow light can not only be based on the brand, but also other factors should be considered. Next, we would like to share a few tips with you, so that you can have a clearer idea when choosing a power supply for grow lights.
1. High Efficiency
Efficiency or luminous efficacy is a key factor that designers of high-quality and high-end products consider when designing new luminaires. The reason why LEDs are replacing traditional light sources such as HIDs is mainly due to their high energy conversion rates. At present, the maximum energy efficiency of LED drivers is 96%, while ordinary drivers can only achieve 93-94%. This 2% not only saves energy, but also reduces heat by 30-40%, thereby improving the reliability and reliability of the entire system. Lifespan can be greatly extended.
2. Low Inrush Current
Since the vertical farming industry requires lights with power densities as high as 5kW per square meter, and LED drivers are usually capacitive on the input side, once the system is powered up, there can be very large inrush currents, so surges can trigger MCBs, especially is an existing system that used HID in the past. The retrofit grow light market in particular requires low-surge light fixtures.
3. Easy control
In theory, with LEDs, we can better control the brightness of LEDs because the amount of light provided is related to photosynthesis. Each factory is different in this regard and the life cycle of the factory. Provides controllable light, creating the clear advantage of tailoring the optimal light environment and tailoring it to the different needs of different growth stages.
4. Easy connection
The traditional grow light market uses RJ12 to connect the control system, while the traditional waterproof light system uses M12 connector for control, now more and more growers realize that M12 is more reliable than RJ12, but RJ12 still dominates due to cost and ease of use maintain.
5. Customized
A better horticultural lighting control system usually requires a lot of customization, such as control protocols, physical interfaces, and even LED driver dimming optimization. Sometimes the form factor has to be changed to make the system more elegant. So customization is an important job for growers.
