What are the advantages of LED grow lights compared to traditional plant lights?
In the field of artificial plant lighting, including high-pressure sodium lamps, fluorescent lamps, metal halide lamps, incandescent lamps, etc., the disadvantages of these light sources are high energy consumption, high operating costs, and energy costs account for high total costs, so the benefits they bring are low. Improving luminous efficiency and reducing energy consumption have become an important issue in the field of artificial lighting for plants, and the emergence of LED grow lights has just solved this problem. The spectrum of LED grow lights is very suitable for plant growth. The following article will analyze for you.
The LED grow light is energy-saving. The LED grow light uses a highly reliable and advanced packaging process-eutectic welding, which makes the life of the LED plant fill light longer. Under the same power, the light-emitting effect is better than traditional ones. Plant lights are more energy-efficient, and more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
The full spectrum of LED grow lights promotes the growth of plants at various stages. Plant growth requires photosynthesis, and the wavelength is about 400-700 nm. 400-500 nm (light blue) and 610-720 nm (red) photosynthesis contribute the most. That is, red light with a wavelength between 620nm-660nm and blue light with a wavelength between 450-470. Red light promotes plant stems, flowering, and fruiting. Blue light mainly prevents plants from growing, promotes the formation of plant dry matter, has a significant effect on the growth of rhizomes, and can promote the synthesis and quantity of protein and fat. The red-to-blue ratio of LED plant growth lights is generally 4:19:1 which is a suitable ratio, usually 4≤7≤1.
LED grow lights have obvious effects of promoting plant growth, super long life, and high luminous efficiency. The characteristics of whitening and energy saving are incomparable to the traditional plant light. The development of LED grow light will fully replace the traditional plant light, and the technology will get better and better.
