LED Lights for Indoor Growing are a new step in the search for more efficient alternatives for agriculture. Traditionally, high pressure sodium (HPS), Fluorescent (Fluos), Compacted Fluorescent (CLF), even Metal Halide (MH) luminaires have been used for indoor crops, but consumption has been too high and has not always been achieved the expected results.
Advantages of LED in Indoor Growing
With the adaptation of the LED for Indoor Growing, two important steps have been taken. Firstly, energy and equipment replacement costs have been mitigated, due to the decrease in consumption and increase in useful life hours that accompanies all LED products. Secondly, productivity has improved due to LED’s similarity to natural light. In addition, temperature control has been improved, as well as light spectrum management. All this has meant that the quality of our indoor plants has improved up to 75% after the incorporation of the LED Grow Lights.
The technology of LED spotlights allows us to adjust the spectrum of light that plants receive. This way we increase the production of our crop while maintaining high quality. They also consume less energy, generate less heat and have a longer lifespan than other lighting systems.
The consumption of LED spotlights is up to 90% lower than other lighting systems. The performance per watt, on the other hand, is much higher, which makes our crops more functional.
LED Lights have a great advantage for indoor growing. They allow us to regulate the range of spectra that we are going to use. You can eliminate, strengthen or weaken the spectrums as needed by each plant. In this way, very high effectiveness is achieved by focusing only the light and heat that each plant needs. Additionally, this spectrum control helps immunize against insects. Radiation spectra directly affect growth, flowering, flavor, smell, color and even pharmaceutical value in the case of medicinal plants.
Types of Bulbs and Effects on Plants
The LED bulbs that we They allow covering all the light spectrums that plants need in their stages of development are the following:
- White. They are what allow us to simulate the luminosity of the sun
- Blues. Because they provide ultraviolet (UV) rays, essential for growth. View Product< /a>
- Red. They provide infrared rays, very important in the plant’s flowering process. View Product
To this we can add yellow and orange components, as required by the plant. This wide spectrum range represents a radical difference with respect to previous technologies.
LED lights for indoor growing are perfect for controlled growth systems. They are ideal for hydroponics and aeroponics, greenhouses, fish tanks or algae cultivation wells, among others. They are so easy to use and install that we can implement them in any home system without any problem in a quick and easy way.
