LED Grow Lights
Planting an indoor garden is a wonderful hobby for people who truly enjoy the beauties of nature and want to have this environment within their home setting. Indoor gardens are becoming very popular today, especially with the advent of new products that simplify maintaining this environment. One of the most essential elements for growing plants indoors is having sufficient lighting. The advent of LED Grow Lights has added a new dimension to indoor gardening, by providing all the lighting your garden needs to flourish to perfection.
SuperGravyLED is here to guide you through the jungle of information providing reviews and guides to help you understand exactly what LED grow light is best for you.
Do LED Grow Lights Work?
I can’t lie – I used to be a huge doubter of the legitimacy using LED grow lights to grow big bud. After having done many successful grows myself, and reading the documented grow journals on the various forums out there, I am now definately a believer! Here’s a video I came across the other day showing a successful grow using LED Grow lights (check out the original journal to see all the documented details of the grow)
How LED Light Systems Work
Indoor gardens require the proper amount of light in order for them to grow. In the absence of natural sunlight, plants require substitute lighting conducive for the production of chlorophyll in order for photosynthesis to occur. LED Grow Lights produce the exact type of lighting with the wavelength plants require for growth. These phosphorescent bulbs give off light within three different spectrums for every stage of plant growth and maturity.
Blue lighting encourages the production of chlorophyll which enhances plant growth and maturity. Because this lighting emanates less heat than conventional bulbs, there is less chances of plants burning from excessive heat produced by the lights. In addition, these lights eliminate the need for extra cooling systems due to their emitting lower temperatures. Red LED lights enhance vegetable growth, healthier blooms and an increase of fruit. A merged LED lighting system includes both red and blue spectrum lights. This system is highly effective as it covers the initial growth, maturity and fruition of the whole plant. In short, a LED lighting system provides the perfect setting for both vegetable and flower gardens to flourish and prosper.
Types of LED Grow Lights
Some of the different types of LED grow lights (357Mag LED) include UFO grow lights, Tri-band lights and 5 Band lights. UFO lights produce a red and blue spectrum; Tri-band and 5 Band lights produce a spectrum of red, blue and orange lights. The type of lighting you need will depend on the garden you are growing. By placing your plants into different categories such as seedlings, flowering plants, fruit bearing plants, etc., you can better determine which type of light is best for optimum plant health and growth. Seedlings, for example, require blue LED lamps to encourage fast and healthy growth. Flowering plants require red lights to enable them to bear flowers and fruits. Fruit bearing plants thrive with the use of orange grow lights. By using the right kind of lighting for your plants, you will see your garden bloom and prosper into the beautiful environment you desire.
Qualities of LED Light Systems
LED lights have specific qualities that set them apart from conventional HID lights or other lighting systems. First, the lights can be used for extensive lengths of time without overheating. Second, they use up much less electricity than conventional bulbs, thus helping you to save on your energy bills. Third, they are designed to generate the exact type of lighting that plants need to grow within their different stages.
The initial investment of setting up LED Grow Lights in your garden is more expensive than traditional lighting systems. However, over the long run, these lights will be more economical to run due to the longevity of the bulbs and their energy efficient properties. The bottom line is that indoor plants greatly benefit from the balance of light that these particular lights provide. LED lighting has proven to be highly effective in transforming hydroponic and other types of indoor gardens into beautiful and fruitful environments. They make a marked difference in the way plants grow and produce fruit. This makes your investment well worth the extra cost, time and effort.
