What is Good about LED Grow Lights?

16 Dec.,2021

LED light source is also called semiconductor light source. This light source has a narrow wavelength and can emit a specific wavelength of light, so it can control the color of light. The red and blue LED ratio of LED plant lights is generally between 4:1 and 9:1, usually 6-9:1.

LED grow light VS traditional grow light

LED plant growth light has low power, but is extremely efficient. Because other lights emit the full spectrum, that is, there are seven colors. But the plants need only red and blue light, so most of the light energy of traditional lights is wasted, so the efficiency is extremely low. LED grow lights can emit the specific red and blue light that plants need, so they are extremely efficient. This is why the LED grow light a few watts of power than dozens of watts or even hundreds of watts of power light effect is better. Another reason is that the traditional sodium lamp spectrum lacks blue light, while the mercury lamp and energy-saving lamp spectrum lack red light, so the traditional lamp fills light effect is much worse than the LED lamp. And compared to traditional lights to save more than 90% of electricity, operating costs are greatly reduced.

 

How important are the red light and blue light for plants?

Different wavelengths of light have different effects on the photosynthesis of plants. The wavelength of light required for photosynthesis in plants is around 400-700nm. 400-500nm blue light and 610-720nm red light contributes the most to photosynthesis. Blue (470nm) and red (630nm) LEDs can provide just the right amount of light for plants, so it is ideal to use a combination of these two colors. In terms of visual effect, the red and blue combination of the grow light appears pink. Blue light helps plants to photosynthesize and promote green leaf growth, protein synthesis, and fruit formation. Red light can promote plant root growth, help flowering and fruiting and extend the flowering period, to increase production.

 

Why do you need LED grow lights?

6 The effect of using LED grow lights is very significant, the growth rate is almost 3 times faster than the general natural growth of plants. When using plant lights to supplement light to plants, the general height of the leaves is about 0.5-1 meters. Continuous irradiation for 12-16 hours per day can completely replace sunlight. Solve the problem of lack of sunlight in a greenhouse in winter. Promote the chlorophyll, anthocyanin, and carotene needed for the photosynthesis of plants. Harvesting fruits and vegetables 20% earlier, increasing yields by 30 to 50%. Improve the sweetness of fruits and vegetables and reduce pests and diseases.
