LED Grow Lights for Indoor Gardening
LED light bulbs have been used in brake lights, traffic signals, and display screens for decades, but they have only recently been recognized as a viable light source for indoor gardening. LED grow lights have several advantages over metal halide, high-pressure sodium, or CFL light bulbs. These indoor growing lights offer more light per watt, less heat, and take up less space than other types of gardening lamps.
The main benefit of using LED grow lights in your hydroponic garden is their energy efficiency. Despite their small size, LED light bulbs emit more usable light per watt than high pressure sodium or metal halide light bulbs. Different colors of LED grow bulbs can be combined on one panel so indoor gardeners can customize the spectrum of light based on their plants’ needs.
Using LED grow lights not only saves you money on electricity, but also reduces your equipment expenses. No ballast is required to power the lights. This cuts down on the amount of space you need for your hydroponic gardening setup. The bulbs are cooler than ballast-powered high-intensity discharge grow lights, eliminating the need for cooling fans. LED light bulbs can be placed very close to your indoor plants because their low heat will not burn the tips.
While the upfront cost of LED grow lights is higher than other types of indoor plant lighting, their long life makes the overall expense lower if you plan to keep your indoor garden for several years. LED light bulbs last longer than HID grow lights because of their low voltage. LED bulbs can last for three or more years before burning out.
