LED grows lights have become very popular over the past few decades for growing indoor plants as recent technological advances have enabled LED lights to outperform all other types of grow lights in the market. The recent advancements have even enabled LED lights to be manufactured in different shapes and sizes allowing them for regular housing use as well as for technical purposes. LED lights also subsequently save energy usage. Therefore, LED lights lower your carbon footprint and do not heat up as much when compared to incandescent light bulbs.
LED stands for “Light Emitting Diode”. LED bulbs are known for being used in flashlights, outdoor lighting and electronic equipment. LED lights are able to produce more light per watt than regular lights. LED lights therefore produce lighting for a longer period than both incandescent bulbs and fluorescent light bulbs. This takes away the problem of having to purchase bulbs repeatedly. Incandescent light bulbs have an average lifespan of 1500 hours and a fluorescent light bulb can last for 30,000 hours. LED lights on the other hand are able to last for a whooping 45,000 hours on average.
Another feature in which LED grow lights can save you from buying batches of them throughout the year is that they are not a delicate as other bulbs. LED light bulbs are more resistant to wear and tear and therefore last longer through everyday use.
LED grow lights bulbs are made in such a shape to be more focused. Other light bulbs such as incandescent light bulbs require additional filters and mechanisms in order to better direct the lighting. LED grow lights bulb also are more efficient as grow lights because of the color the produce.
Although LED grow lights are initially expensive to purchase and install, they last longer which leave you needed to be only a few bulbs to keep you and your indoor plants going in the long term.
LED bulbs are also safer to use because they gradually grow dim over a long period. The advantage of this is that the gradual loss in brightness can act as warning to replace the bulb in the near future. This is safer because occasionally other bulbs just burn out. In addition, the LED bulb is only warm to touch and not scalding hot, allowing for the replacement of the bulb to be a safer process.
Ultimately, the right bulb for you depends on your situation, your environmental conditions and your long-term intents or plans. If you plant on becoming a serious indoor garden for the long term, LED lights are your best option. Plants have proven to respond efficiently to the light produced by LED grow lights. If you are only starting to grow plants at home then it more important to become accustomed to the types of soil and watering habits that the plant needs. Over time, you can buy more technical apparatus in order to assist the growth of your plant.
