Why Use Led Grow Lights

Zig Ziglar says that he has been laughed at and made fun of and been told that he will never make it, all of his life. To continue and persevere under those circumstances is definitely a man on a mission. He did not let that deter him from fulfilling his dreams, and it shouldn't with you or me either.

Traditional lights have an efficiency of about 5%. The higher efficiency of LED lights means there is less heat and a better watt to lumen ratio. Less heat also means that LED lights are less likely to burn the leaves on your plants.

If you have ever researched HID lights you probably have come across High-powered LED grow lights as well. Both of these lights have their purpose and still will dramatically improve the way your plants achieve their maximum yield and growth. I have extensively used both kinds of these lights on the same kind of tomato plant and have gathered the following conclusion.

The best LED lights for plants are the ones manufactured by ProSource WorldWide and Sunshine Systems. It's best to get a brand name light just because you have the guarantee of quality. Some ProSource WorldWide products come with 3 year warranty and 90 day satisfaction guarantee.

The second stage of hydroponic growing is vegetation. This is when you grow your plants from small clones into plants that can flower. Generally you will switch your light timing to a 18/6 or a 24 hour timing. This will allow your plants to grow quickly. There are a lot of techniques for indoor vegetation in a hydroponics box, but the most basic is simply to let them grow to a height one third of the height of your grow box (this allows the plants to triple in size when flowering).

Now you can find 10000 degrees Kelvin bulbs whereas in the past you would only get 5500 degrees Kelvin styles. These 10000K halide bulbs provide clear colored light. Again, in the recent past, the 5500K bulbs would be used with actinic or blue fluorescent bulbs. They actually replicate the kind of light available in very deep ocean depths. The VHO styles come in a couple of bulb colors. They include full spectrum, half full spectrum and blue, though; it is good to note that technology advances might have changed this now. Even LED bulbs are available now and they are energy saving bulbs.

Failure is not final. It should be fuel to your success.

In the same way, you can get a 14 watt kit to set up your own 120V light. A good quality kit will be one that utilizes 272 high brightness 5 mm LEDs with 204 red ones and 68 blue ones. The dimensions should be in the proximity of 6x4.75x0.5 inches. Also go for a kit that has an active current regulation circuit. The reason for this is a greater control over the product than provided by resistors in all their capacity.

Metal Halide Lighting is still a very popular option. It provides an attractive shimmering effect that allows you to grow almost any type coral. The disadvantages of Metal Halide lights are the amount of energy required to run the fixture and the amount of heat they produce. These lights can be expensive to run ten or more hours per day and you may have to purchase a chiller to keep your aquarium cool if you live in a warmer climate. Metal Halide bulbs should be replaced every six to twelve months.
