With the development and popularization of technology, the scope of use of LED grow lights is increasing, and the price is gradually decreasing. And when people choose the fill light, the first consideration is the price. How much does it cost to grow indoor LED grow lights? What does price have to do with it?
1. Spectrum
LED grow lights have full spectrum, red and blue light, and mixed powder spectrum. Among them, red and blue light has a better effect on plants, so the price is higher than the other two spectrums. But pay special attention to the ratio of red and blue when choosing the fill light. Different spectrum ratios have different prices.
2. Wavelength
When choosing LED grow lights, pay attention to the wavelength of light. For example, red and blue LED grow lights can promote plant growth, stems and leaves and flowering results, especially blue light of 450nm-470nm and red light of about 660nm have good effects on plant growth.
3. Material
LED grow lights are mostly used in greenhouses and indoors, but some outdoor planting can also be used, but at this time there will be requirements for the shell material of LED grow lights, and the waterproof function should also be paid attention to in the greenhouse with high humidity.
4. Power
The power of LED grow lights determines the light intensity and also affects the light coverage area. Many crops that require high light intensity can only choose high-power fill light, so the price will be relatively high. Pay special attention to the actual power when choosing the power of the supplementary light. Many supplementary lights are expensive, but the actual power does not match the indicated power. The price is high but there is no supplementary light effect.
5. Lamp beads
Among the cost of LED grow lights, the cost of lamp beads accounts for the largest share, because it is divided into imported lamp beads and domestic lamp beads. Most LED grow light manufacturers choose imported lamp beads, and the relative price is relatively high. Other accessories are difficult to open the price gap, only lamp beads are the key to the price gap.
LED grow light components:
1. LED grow light power supply: LED grow light bulbs need low-voltage direct current to emit light. Normal electricity is AC power, usually 220v, which will directly damage the lamp beads. Therefore, the LED grow light power supply needs to convert AC power into DC power. And change the pressure to reduce the device allocated to each lamp bead.
2. LED grow light lamp beads: LED grow light lamp beads are the most important component, which emits a spectrum to act on plants. The quality of the lamp beads will affect the supplementary light of the plants. Pay attention to the blue and red ratio of the lamp beads.
3. LED grow light shade: The main function of LED grow light shade is dustproof and protection. Commonly used are glass shade and acrylic shade. The glass shade has good light transmission and is not easy to deform; the acrylic lamp shade is light in weight and not easy to break.
4. The internal plastic linking device of the LED grow light: covering the exposed wires, mainly to insulate, fix the internal parts of the lamp and prevent leakage to protect people's safety.
5. LED grow light aluminum substrate: LED grow light lamp beads are directly connected to the aluminum substrate, the aluminum substrate is mainly used to fix the lamp beads and heat dissipation.
6. LED grow light lens and reflector cup: The function of the lens and reflector cup is to efficiently use the light emitted by the LED grow light. The lens changes its propagation trajectory through the refraction of light, and the reflector cup changes the propagation trajectory of light through the reflection of light.
7. LED grow light heat dissipation device: As long as it is an electronic product, heat dissipation is very important. The same is true for LED grow lights. As the temperature rises, the luminous efficiency of the lamp beads will decrease, and it will also affect the luminous decay and service life. The function of the device is to ensure the efficient operation of the lamp beads.
8. LED grow light intelligent device: Now the technology of LED grow light is more and more mature, adding an intelligent control device, you can switch and adjust the light according to the needs, and it can simulate the natural phenomenon of sunlight to fill the plant with light.
Be careful not to be greedy for cheap
LED grow lights are not cheap. Conventional LED bulbs used for home lighting are not as cheap as incandescent or fluorescent lamps, so you can expect them to cost a lot for LED grow lights that can provide life to plants. Although you may find cheaper variants of LED grow lights, consider whether it is really worth it. Cheap does not always save money because of poor quality, it may even cost you more on repairs or replacements. Always choose the most valuable product.
Therefore, when choosing LED grow lights to pay attention to the price, you should also pay attention to the actual effect and function. When paying attention to the price, you should choose the appropriate and good-effect LED grow lights.
