Grow Light Electricity Cost Calculator
By shane torpey the cost of electricity is rising rapidly all over the world and increasing the cost of growing indoors. So what can you do to reduce the electricity costs? in your typical 4ft x 4ft or 1. 2m x 1. 2m tent the extract fan, circulatory fan and water or air pumps will consume between 15 to 30 watts each or about 70 watts in total. The grow light wattage to delivery a good yield will range from 400 to 650 watts, depending on the technology used. Therefore the power consumed by your grow light is about 80 to 90% of the total (excluding air conditioning). For plants to be stimulated to photosynthesis by artificial lighting, special lights are needed. The most important difference between an ordinary lamp and a plant lamp is the colour spectrum, i. E. The composition of the light. Natural daylight contains all wavelengths. Plants mainly need blue and red light. Grow lights have increased red and blue components, which is why they have a violet glow. As in other areas of artificial lighting, many plant lamps are now powered by led, which means that even with longer lighting times, your electricity costs stay low.

Led lights weigh a fraction of other lights and are easy to configure where needed. According to led manufacturers, led grow lights maximize blue and red light to provide and excellent balance for plants. They do not have much green-yellow light. Your type of growing facility is one of the greatest influences when selecting proper led lighting. Traditional greenhouses, vertical farms, indoor facilities, and a variety of other grow operations require different light supplementation on fixtures that fit accustomed to the production area. Keep in mind, certain crops need specific amounts of micromoles (light) throughout the day for optimal results. For example, a fruiting crop typically requires more light than a leafy green. Your growing facility also determines how much space you have for crops. This area, as well as how you set it up, dictates the

All leds emit photons; theoretically, any led should work. But it is a superficial explanation, and the devil lies in the details. Different leds emit light with varying wavelengths. And not all the wavelengths are suitable for growing plants. Led lights we generally use in houses and offices do not have the optimal wavelength to grow plants. And it gets even more complex because plants also have different wavelength requirements. Luckily, information about the appropriate wavelength for different plants is readily available on the internet. You must consider that and select the suitable led type for a particular plant;
