LED Grow Lights
Did you know that LED Grow Lights can save you money? With Broad Spectrum lights they tend to produce more light than a plant can use efficiently. However with the new LED technology, lights are bright only to the plant and not to the human eye making them ideal for a kitchen area.
Plants can use practically all the light that is generated from an LED light because they need no special ventilation, have a longer life period have low power consumption and are high efficiency. The balance of the red and blue spectrums, the two colors needed most by plants for growth and fruit production is controlled by you giving you the best results and allowing your plants to thrive.
The versatility of these lights have proven extremely effective when growing lettuces, tomatoes, parsley and basil because they won’t burn young seedlings, they are quite easy to use and are affordable. Some of the advantages are that these lights have a reduce heat output, they reduce power consumption, they cut maintenance costs, they will work with your existing lighting grow light system and being a Full Spectrum light they can be placed as close as 3 inches from your plants without burning them.
When you are using these lights if you reduce the distance between the light and the plant by one-half, it will increase the intensity of the light reaching the plant by 4 times. If you choose to increase the lighting with a blue spectrum light will produce sturdier seedlings and you will have less long leggy plants. Leafy crops such as lettuce will have an increase in yield at the end of the growing cycle if you use an all red bulb, however red and blue to close to your plant can cause poor growth so a good distance from the lighting is usually 12 to 14 inches away.
To get more for your dollar and have an abundance of hearty, healthy fresh winter vegetables add an LED grow light system to your existing system or create a new full spectrum system.
