 Indoor gardening has never been easier. Grow lights for indoor plants allow you to grow a wide variety of plants in any climate at any time of the year. These grow lights are specifically designed to replace natural sunlight, stimulate photosynthesis and provide the right color spectrum for plant growth and lush growth.

Benefits of LED Grow Lights

The benefits of LED grow lights are many. They use far less energy, last longer and produce higher quality light than traditional grow lights. Plus, LED grow lights are getting more affordable, making them a viable option for anyone looking to grow plants indoors.

What Makes A Good LED Grow Light?

Here are some important things that you should look for in a good LED grow light:

1. Full spectrum ( including IR and UV )
A full spectrum LED grow light will give your plant every wavelength of light it requires to maximise it’s growth ( bigger yields ).

Most manufacturers will provide details or charts about their lights spectral output. Look for blue lights between 430nm-450nm for the vegetation stage and red lights red lights between 640nm-680nm for the flowering stage.

You should also look for an LED grow light that includes UV ( ultraviolet ) and IR ( Infrared ) diodes.

Ultraviolet light has been shown make your plants react defensively and produce more trichomes. This leads to an increase in THC levels ( higher potency )

The benefits of Infrared are a little more debated, but many experts believe that it promotes larger leaf growth and increases yield size.

2. High PAR output
PAR ( measured in umol/2/s ) is the spectrum of light that your plants use for photosynthesis, so you want to feed them a lot of it.

Most good manufacturers will provide you with a chart showing you how much PAR your plants will get at various heights.

Between 200–400 umols is perfect for seedlings. Between 400–600 umols is perfect for late vegging cycles, and 700–900 umols is the perfect amount for flowering.

3. Daisy Chaining Functionality
A very useful feature if you need to buy multiple lights.

This functionality allows you to plug one light into another light so that you only need one power chord.

This makes it easier to hang your lights side-by-side, keeps your grow space organised and frees up socket space.

4. Veg & Bloom Switches
Veg & Bloom switches allow you to optimise the intensity of your lights for the different stages of your grow cycle.

This prevents your young plants from getting light burn and saves you money on your electricity bill.

5. Good Warranty
Make sure you pick a grow light with a warranty of 2–3 years.

LEDs should last for more than 10 years, but having a decent warranty will give you peace of mind that if anything goes wrong, you will get a replacement or refund

6. Responsive Customer Service
This is vital. If something goes wrong with you’re light, you want to have purchased from a company that will get back to you quickly and make things right.

Conclusion

Premium LED Grow Lights are the best solution we have for growing plants indoors right now. They are more efficient than traditional forms of light, meaning they produce more output while using less electricity and generating less heat.

They also last longer. For at least 5 years, usually more than 10 years, you won’t need to replace the bulb.
