ECO Farm 240W LM301B Classic Quantum Board VS VIPARSPECTRA XS2000 LED Grow Light

 Modern LED Grow lights for plants are able to create the most favorable conditions for their growth. Moreover, we distinguish them by economical energy consumption, ease of use, reliability and safety. During operation, the grow light does not heat up.

This means it does not cause the slightest harm to plants. Grow lights have a universal shape and design, due to which they are easily fixed on any surface.

In this article, we’ll discuss the LED grow light in detail.

Grow Lights Making Your Plants Grow Taller and Faster

Light is particularly essential to plants as it is converted into energy through photosynthesis and determines the direction of their growth, the size of their leaves as well as the moment when the plant starts to flower.

Thus, different kinds of light and the way they are mounted result in a different response. In fact, this is about the wavelengths, with the visible longer ones being of the red color and the shorter ones being violet.

At the same time, there are kinds of light that cannot be seen but are physically felt by humans. It is these longer wavelengths, known as infrared light, that generate warmth. On the other hand, we have ultraviolet (UV) lights that are smaller than those of the violet color and are able to burn the exposed surfaces.

Chlorophyll, a pigment giving the plant its green color, is used in producing energy. You might be surprised but most leaves typically have a green color because this chemical prefers blue and red light.

In order to change the direction of the plant growth as well as the size and the number of leaves, use red light. This is due to phytochromes, the plant’s photoreceptors that are responsible for detecting light. Another chemical compound, cryptochromes, responds to blue light and determines the time when the plant starts to flower.

It is equipped with Samsung LM301B Diodes — the highest light output LED available at present, create the better canopy light penetration, get 40% higher yields with less energy compared with other red blue lights. No Fan ZERO Noise, large areas of solid aluminium heat sink, high safety performance with MEAN WELL Driver. 50% longer lifespan compare with other brand lights. Allowing you to grow with confidence. 4000K, provide everything plants desired in the natural sunlight, turn your seeds into your own supply, produce beautiful high yielding plants. Easy to see the true color of your plants.

VIPARSPECTRA XS2000 LED Grow Light

Features:

The Viparspectra LED grow light is equipped with industry-leading Samsung diodes to deliver your plants an almost sun-like spectrum, boosting growth at all stages and increasing yields by up to 50% compared to standard blurble style lighting. The XS2000’s 3000k warm white, 5000k white, 660nm deep red, and 730nm IR light give your plants the full spectrum light they desire. The red and IR light is especially useful during the flowering stage, which can speed up bloom time and increase yields so you get the best harvest you can. The added dimmer knob lets the grower adjust the light intensity to accommodate plants in all stages of growth — from veg to flower.

What to Look for When Buying

So, this isn’t a super complex technology aside from the “gee whiz” aspects of how an LED itself works. They are an affordable, quickly-made product, and outside displays and some future materials tricks we pull, their main purpose is illumination, and in this case, illumination that can help plants grow.

This means that while there are things to pay attention to while shopping for these, it’s not as complex as it could be with other products. But, let’s look at some of these factors, and keep them in mind.

Light Types — Full spectrum grow lights don’t necessarily produce every basic light type singularly. Some, as we said, are actually white light and UV, and there’s no way for them to select one of the RGB components discreetly. This is fine for green houses.

Form Factor — They all have a more or less similar form factor, but some are broader and thinner (producing more light surface), while others are dense and squat. Both have their strong points, as the condensed ones provide a more directional, concentrated UV source.

Controllable Strength — You will want, if possible, to be able to control the strength of the light being put out. Too much UV can cook some plants, too little can starve others. This also prevents you from being burned, as UV will burn you if overexposed. It’s called a sunburn.

Timer — If you can get one with a timer, it does help. If you set specific durations and times for the lights, you could reliably produce a circadian cycle for your hot house. This will be useful for space colonization.

Conclusion

Finding a good LED grow light is not a simple process, especially with a lot of products available for purchase on the market. Hopefully, this LED grow light bulb review has helped to narrow your options. If you have just started indoor growing, you should consider taking small steps in the field to minimize your risks. Try to experiment with one of the ten lights above to see how well they work.
