What Is An LED Grow Light?
LED grow lights are the most recent mass produced lamp on the market, although many people have not begun using them yet. Since the tiny LEDs might not be the first thing that you think of when you picture an indoor grow op, that is understandable. In reality, however, they truly are some of the most powerful, effective, and space saving grow lights that you are going to come across throughout your growing career.
LED lights have a long history of use in a variety of applications. Since they began being used as nothing more than indicator lights on electronics, LEDs have found a larger and larger role in the modern world.
For indoor growers, these are very appealing. Before LED lamps were as advanced as they are today, the primary application for growers was in the form of supplementary lighting. A grower might use an HID grow light setup throughout the different stages of growth. For plants that need extra light, or for more power during flowering, they would add in LED panels in specific places since they are so easily attached without taking up space. Now, however, there are powerful, and much larger, LED panels that can supply an entire grow room with bright light that keeps your plants healthy and profitable.
Other lighting systems require large ballasts and cooling systems, but LED lights are entirely self contained. A panel, that may be in the shape of a circle, square, or plenty more, is simply hung above your plants. The size of your grow will determine how large it will be, but they will all be lined with rows and rows of tiny LEDs.
