The color characteristic displayed by all lighting products is the color temperature. From warm white light to cold white light, general household lighting products are warm white light because it makes people’s eyes feel comfortable. The same is true for plants, so what color temperature is suitable for LED grow lights?
1. Color temperature under different light source environments:
The following is the color temperature comparison table used by common LED lighting fixtures:
Halogen lamp 3000k
Tungsten lamp 2700k
High pressure sodium lamp 1950-2250k
Candle light 2000k
Metal halide lamp 4000-4600k
Cool color camp light 4000-5000k
High pressure mercury lamp 3450-3750k
Warm color fluorescent lamp 2500-3000k
Clear sky 8000-8500k
Cloudy 6500-7500k
Summer noon sunshine 5500k
Afternoon daylight 4000k
2. LED light color under different color temperature:
1. Low color temperature: The color temperature is below 3300K, and the warm white light is yellowish red; it gives a warm feeling and a stable atmosphere;
2. Medium color temperature: The color temperature is in the middle of 3000-6000K, and people have a refreshing feeling under this color; so it is called "neutral" color temperature.
3. High color temperature: The color temperature exceeds 6000K, and the light color is bluish, giving people a cool feeling.
How much is the color temperature of the LED grow light
Usually in the process of using plant growth lights, there is a problem that is more important, which is related to the growth of plants. That is, how suitable is the color temperature of the plant growth lamp for daily use? Because different plants require different color temperatures, different environments have different requirements for color temperature. So if you want to figure out the color temperature specifically, you have to choose it based on these conditions.
If the color temperature of the LED fluorescent lamp used in the plant cultivation room is generally around 5500-6000k, there is no need to continue to increase it. But if you need further understanding, you can also look at the color temperature spectrum. The color temperature difference of different lights is quite big.
If you want plants to grow well, you can still use a more direct method and directly consult some planting experts or professionals. In addition, if you just grow it at home daily, you can choose ordinary LED grow lights. The owner will recommend it when you buy it, so don't worry about the inappropriate color temperature.
But if it is a more professional place such as a greenhouse, it is better to understand the relevant knowledge before buying, so as to avoid embarrassment when buying. Plant growth lights are used more and more in our daily lives. Whether it is a planting enthusiast, or a flower grower or vegetable grower, it actually needs to be used. It can be seen that its advantages are still very obvious.
The above description shows that the color temperature generally required by plants is around 5500-6000k, which is the color temperature of sunlight. Color temperature is related to temperature, so the adjustment of color temperature in each stage of plant growth will also change.
