Three ways Grow Lights can be used for plant growth 1. Provide all the light a plant needs to grow. |
Life: 50,000 hours –If lit for 8 hours/day, 365 days/year, it will last over 17 years. 25 times longer than typical incandescent floodlights. Efficiency: 15W Typical (22W max) – uses 1/5 the power of a 100W colored incandescent floodlight. Color purity: four color specific wavelengths with no UV emitted. LED Grow Lights can be used Indoor and Outdoor |

Light level is one of the important variables for optimizing plant growth, others being light quality, water, carbon dioxide, nutrients and environmental factors Plants need light for photosynthesis, therefore for growing. Researchers have found that blue and red light is essential for plant growth. LEDs (light-emitting diodes) can be calibrated to emit a specific wavelength. LED light is good for places where direct light from the sun is not enough or nonexistent. It is also good for plants where light from the sun is too strong and can harm the plants with the high emission of UV. One of the most important advantages in using the enLux LED Grow Light is there is no UV emitted. The quality of light is as important as the quantity. Plants, respond more effectively to red light and to blue light, the peak being in the red region at around 630 nanometers. Red light provides the most efficient food for plants. A plant illuminated only with red or orange light will fail to develop sufficient bulk. Leafy growth (vegetative growth) and bulk also require blue light. Just as humans need a balanced diet, plants need balanced, full spectrum light for good health and optimum growth. |
