emitting diode or leds are currently the most commonly sold bulb in many parts of the world. Regular leds are very energy efficient, come in almost all shapes and sizes, and give out little heat but can still provide levels of full spectrum light for plant growing.
A table lamp like this could give this snake plant hours of bright light.
Notify me when this product is available: our full spectrum led grow lights are the perfect solution for growing plants in dark places, delivering the optimal wavelengths of light your plants need to grow. The grow lights are fully adaptable and adjustable, allowing you to customise your space. And remember, happy plants = happy life! we’ve put years of work into the internals of our grow lights to ensure they last - in particular the power supply and control box, which is the most common failure point for other grow lights. We’re confident our lights are the highest quality on the market.
The advancement of led light technology makes it easier for growers to create perfect indoor farming environments and achieve greater crop yields on shorter growing cycles. This, in turn, leads to increased revenue and higher profit margins. The boost in led efficiency and the associated rise in popularity of led solutions comes down to a few key factors: leds are high quality and combine low maintenance costs with minimal hassle. Leds have longer life spans than their traditional counterparts. Modern leds last for upwards of 50,000 hours, equating to nearly six years of continuous use (the latest leds can last up to twice this long).
Let’s get detailed about lights: grow lights are the most prominent part of your tent but can be damaging to plants if used incorrectly. A grow light, especially the height from a grow light to the seedlings, is an important factor that determines if your plants can survive or not, and the amount of your yield. A systematic understanding of your lights will help your plants thrive, so let’s start with some background about lights and then talk about light height. So how far should seedlings be from grow light? let’s explore now!.
Fluorescent vs LED Grow Lights
Long lasting (led light): ezorkas 9 dimmable levels grow light
best for tomato seedlings (led light): ankace full spectrum grow lamp
energy-efficient (led light): viparspectra newest p2500
best for pepper seedlings (fluorescent light): hydrofarm agrobrite flt48
sturdy (fluorescent light): ipower glt5xx4
best for cilantro seedlings (fluorescent light): sun blaze t5
the last product is our pick for cilantro seedlings.
As you might know it or not, cilantro is a sun-loving plant that requires full sun (6-8 hours of sun exposure daily during all growing stages), therefore, the best growing lights for them should be bright and mimic the natural daylight perfectly. Out of a bunch, we found the sun blaze t5 was the best candidate because not only does it meet all those requirements but it is also durable (thanks to the powder-coated steel housing).
Our led grow lights deliver two different light wavelength spectrums to maximize plant growth potential based on the type of plant being grown and its growth stage, all inspired by best practices used by professional growers. Our balanced spectrum led grow lights, used for seeds & greens, provide nourishment for the early and mid-stages of plant growth in seedling trays. This mix of blue and red is appropriate for growing leafy greens and herbs through maturity to harvest. Our advanced red-light spectrum led grow lights, used for flowers & fruits, provide the most appropriate nourishment for plants entering the flowering stage of their growth.
