Commercial LED grow lights are lamps containing light-emitting diodes that provide lighting for growing plants. These lamps are installed on plants in greenhouses or indoor farms. Before choosing commercial LED grow lights, you need to understand your planting needs.

1. What plants should be supplemented with light? Because different plants have different needs for light intensity and spectrum, this affects the power selection and spectrum customization of commercial LED grow lights; professional LED grow lights will customize the spectrum according to the needs of different crops at different growth stages, and the spectrum can significantly affect the supplementation. light effects.

2. The area and layout of the supplementary light area, which involves the size selection, layout and installation of commercial LED grow lights, to ensure the uniformity of light and improve utilization, and to use all the space reasonably as much as possible to avoid wasting the area.

3. Cost estimate for supplementary light. The cost estimate for commercial LED grow lights is determined based on the plants you grow. If you are growing high-value plants, of course the cost investment will be higher. On the contrary, just lower it. In fact, the main thing is to meet the needs of your plants. The right one is the best. You can also find a professional to help you with quotations and related questions first, which will help you better choose LED grow lights.

Things to note when using commercial LED grow lights:

spectrum

When using LED grow lights to grow plants, red light and blue light are very important. You need to look for blue in the 440-470nm range and red in the 610 to 720nm range. These two stages of the spectrum contribute the most to the photosynthesis of plants. , other lights also have weak effects. A better choice is full-spectrum LED plant lights, which meet the spectrum required by plants at each stage and can also be adjusted, which can give plants better growth.

output

This is one of the most important characteristics of LED grow lights and it affects plant yield. When reading the product description. We will introduce the power of LED grow lights, which can be 400W, 600W, 800W or even 1000W. You generally can't always get 100% power, and you usually end up with a low wattage.

Heat dissipation

LED grow lights typically operate around 15 hours a day, so you'll want to make sure they dissipate heat well and try using integrated die-cast aluminum instead of fans or other plastic materials.

Install

Commercial LED grow lights are installed above the plant canopy, maintaining a certain distance from the plants, and need to ensure that they can be easily installed and replaced. In indoor grow rooms, most commercial LED grow lights are mounted on pillars that run through the top of the facility.

Warranty

Look for LED grow lights with at least a five-year warranty, as this is what a solid manufacturer can guarantee. The ideal service life of LED grow lights is 50,000 hours. However, considering various influencing factors, the actual working life is only about 5 years, so a 5-year warranty is the best choice.

Manufacturer selection

1. Whether the manufacturer is a physical manufacturer and whether it can guarantee the quality and service of the fill light

2. Whether the manufacturer has the ability to develop spectra and can provide matching spectral formulas and supplementary light solutions.

3. Pay attention to the quality of the manufacturer's plant lights, whether the power is sufficient, whether the spectrum is consistent, whether there is heat dissipation equipment, etc.

Things to note when using commercial LED grow lights:

⑴Commercial LED plant lights have different power levels. You can choose according to the number of plants you cultivate and the effects you need to achieve. It should be noted that the higher the wattage, the higher the heat released by the lamp. Use commercial LEDs with higher power. The irradiation distance of the plant lamp should be adjusted appropriately and at the same time, good ventilation should be maintained to avoid burning the leaves.

⑵Commercial LED plant lights only simulate natural light and cannot completely replace sunlight. Long-term use of fill lights can lead to reduced plant resistance and even deformation of young leaves. Therefore, commercial LED plant lights cannot be relied on for a long time. The temperature will warm up at the end of winter. Finally, succulents should be returned to their natural environment.

⑶ The longer you use commercial LED plant lights every day, the better. You should still follow the plant's own growth rules, turn it on during the day and turn it off in the evening, so that it can still maintain normal growth and metabolism.
