Innate advantages of LED grow lights
LED grow lighting has high efficiency and energy saving
The electro-optical conversion efficiency of LED grow lights is more than 20 times that of incandescent lights, 3 times that of fluorescent lights, and nearly 2 times that of high-pressure sodium lights. The application of LED grow lights can greatly reduce power consumption, thereby achieving energy saving.
LED grow light spectrum customization
LED grow lights can cover dozens of monochromatic lights with wavelengths. And can realize monochromatic light composite spectrum or full-spectrum white light through monochromatic light excitation phosphor powder, and realize the spectrum customization of different grows.
LED grow light spectrum adjustable
The LED grow lights with different light colors can be controlled separately to achieve the function of adjustable spectrum. At present, the adjustable spectrum grow lights on the market are mainly used for scientific research, and the grow lights with adjustable light intensity have been widely used in production.
LED grow lights generate less heat
It can touch grows at close range without causing problems such as grow leaves and operators burning. Thanks to the low heat generated by LED grow lights.
Long life of LED grow light
The theoretical life of LED grow lights is as high as more than 100,000 hours. Subtracting the influence of various factors, the lifespan of the LED grow light can be left with 50,000 hours. Compared with traditional grow lights, the light decay of LED grow lights after 36,000 hours of operation is still less than 10%. The fluorescent light usually has a light decay as high as 30% after 10,000 to 15,000 hours of operation.
LED grow lights are safer and more environmentally friendly
Compared with other traditional grow lights, LED grow lights have no mercury or other polluting elements, and are more energy-saving in terms of power saving. The power supply adopts waterproof male and female plug connections, and has the advantages of IP65 waterproof rating.
These advantages make LED grow lights more popular in the market, and are deeply loved by family growers, industrial growers and grow research and growing units. The market development trend of LED grow lights will get better and better in the future.
Several aspects of LED grow lights need to pay attention to
LED grow light is a light source with high luminous efficiency, energy saving, long service life and easy maintenance. It has been applied in the field of grow cultivation, but there are still some aspects that need attention.
Thermal performance
LED grow lights obtain higher power and luminous efficiency, but the problem of heat dissipation follows. The higher the power, the more heat is generated when working. Therefore, high-power LED grow lights need to pay attention to the problem of heat dissipation performance.
Optical performance
In addition to the consideration of the ratio of red and blue light, it is also necessary to consider parameters such as luminous flux, luminous intensity, spectrum, luminous efficiency, and color temperature, because different grows have different requirements for red and blue light, luminous intensity, spectrum and color temperature.
Electrical performance
What needs to be paid attention to is the conversion of drive current and DC, as well as the need to pay attention to voltage drop, leakage, and static electricity, otherwise it will cause damage to the LED grow light beads and light decay, as well as people's safety issues.
Human radiation safety
The blue light of LED grow lights is the same as other electronic products, which is harmful to human eyes. This aspect should be paid attention to. Therefore, it is necessary to wear anti-blue goggles to protect the eyes.
The harm of blue light:
1. Blue light will aggravate the disease in the macular area of the retina;
2. Blue light can cause damage to the fundus after cataract surgery;
3. Blue light can cause blurred vision and cause visual fatigue;
4. Blue light can cause glare;
5. Blue light can inhibit the secretion of melatonin and disturb sleep.
The length of life
The life span of LED grow lights refers to the usable period from use to damage, which is affected by many factors, resulting in a reduction in service life, so we need to pay more attention to maintenance during normal use.
