How to choose a high quality LED grow light

How to choose a high quality LED grow light

There is confusion of many growers : How to choose a high quality led grow light? Does the cheap light cause cheap results? How to evaluate the quality of light ?

Professional grower looks for the following features in a high-quality led grow lamp.

1. Isolated power driver.
The electronic circuit powering the LEDs is an important consideration when evaluating LED lights. The LED “driver” circuit is like an HID ballast.Isolated power  converts AC input power into DC power at the proper voltage and current level for the LEDs, while protecting the lights from electromagnetic interference , also protecting the person who would interact the lights sometimes from electric shock.
2. Large Size LED Chips
Large size chips contribute to quick heat dispelling, It has good heat resistance thus the lamp beads will not be damaged easily. The life expectancy is increased greatly.

3. High-efficiency Cooling System
Like the CPU in your PC, high-power LEDs must be cooled with a heat sink and fan. Because high-power LEDs do not radiate any heat, the metal pad provides the only path for heat to leave the LED. Heat flows from the LED die, through the metal slug, through the circuit board, into a heat sink and then out to the surrounding air.
Look for LEDs mounted on a metal-core printed circuit board (MCPCB), a space-grade technology used for operating electronics at high temperature. An MCPCB conducts hundreds of times more heat compared to the typical fiberglass circuit board. An MCPCB is required for the high power levels that LED horticultural lights endure.


4. Constant-Current Driver Circuit
Proper LED driver circuits supply a constant DC current, holding steady as the LED voltage changes with temperature. Look for the words “constant-current” in the horticultural light’s LED driver specifications.

5. Rigorous Testing
The LED lighting marketplace can be confusing. How does one separate fact from fiction when reading manufacturer claims about electrical savings and plant growth? Look to see if the manufacturer possesses an engineer groups to conduct the test for all finished products.All in all,whether greenhouse growing is your livelihood or your hobby, don’t risk the health of your crops or your budget on inadequately tested LED lights.


LED Grow Light Buying Guide

Nowadays , more and more new led grow light companies sell led grow light becasue more and more growers tent to led grow light .But some growers find the LED Grow light very satisfactory while others dont like led grow light after some trial. What casue the different views on LED grow light ? The reason is some growers know how to choose a right led grow light , but some growers dont know. Below are five tips that you should keep in mind when you decide to buy led grow light.

Actual wattage
Many suppliers claim fake or higher wattage so as to attarct customers , for example , they call 100x3w led grow light as 300w led grow light ,but actually their actual power consumption is about 185-200w ,mainly depend on the current and the ratio. So when you buy a new led , remember to ask the supplier the true wattage or current.

Features of the lights.
In order to attract the customers or get more market share ,some factories try to design different led grow light with unique features.These features include dimmers , remote control , new materials etc. Some features are good , such as dimmers , they can control the light intensity easily ,some are hard to say.
For example , the remote control , one the one hand , it make the grow more convenient ,one the other hand , the remote control technology on led grow light is not mature , it will cause much problems on the long term . So when you buy led grow light with new features , you should think twice , a light can help your plants grow great and bring you biggest harvest is a great light.

Beam angle
Now the angles of lights available on this market include sixty, ninety and one hundred and twenty degrees, the Sixty beam angle make the lights has the strongest light intensity and the 120 degree beam angles make the lights have the biggest coverage , so eith 60 degree or 120 degree , it depend on what plants you have and what you pursue .As far as I am concerned , 90 degree is the best choice.
Spectrum and ratio
There are more than 10 band available on this market , when you buy a new led grow light , tell your supplier what plants you have , then they can offer you their suggestions . Remember ,there are several wavelength are very important: blue, red , orange , IR and white .Each company has their own suggested spectrum and ratio , the best way out is you can consult several suppliers and choose the one that you like.

Warranty
The last thing you should take into consideration is warranty .
Every Led should comes with a warranty from the manufactures , generally are covered by a period of 1-3 years .Only a few companies (GEHL Lamps)have confidence in their products and they offer 5 years warranty .Look at the warranty before purchasing.

Conclusion
Keeping the above five tips in mind will help ensure that you have a great experience with your LED growing light.

LED Grow Light Advantages For Indoor Cannabis Growing

Why Use LED Grow Light For Cannabis Growing Indoors  

In the last decade LED technology has advanced significantly and is now available as an alternative to incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) bulbs for various lighting needs. Numerous studies and field test have resulted in several practical uses for LEDs.
Among the many uses of LEDs is their ability to grow plants indoors without the need for any sunlight. LEDs offer many advantages when it comes to growing various plants indoors, especially for the cannabis indoor grow
1) Low consumption
LEDs consume a fraction of the electricity, as much as 70% less. LEDs are what is known as “luminous efficient”, meaning they use electricity very efficiently to produce light. In a lab setting LED light was shown to have an efficiency of anywhere from 150+ lumens per watt, with top end CREE lights obtaining 254 lumens per watt. Comparatively, a standard HPS lamp will have an efficiency of 100 lumens per watt. What this means today is that some of the high end LED systems can save a grower 50% on electricity bills compared to the use of an HPS system both good for your wallet, and the planet.

2) Near zero heat signature.  
LED grow lights give off less than 10% of the heat that a high intensity discharge bulb such as high-pressure sodium (HPS) or metal halide (MH) bulbs do.As a result LED lights can be placed 30 - 45cm above the cannabis plants, helping prevent stretch. Comparatively, HID lights have to be 60 - 90cm above the plants to prevent them from causing heat stress. Another advantage of this is that because LEDs produce very little heat, there is obviously no need to invest in an extensive cooling system. Particularly in large grows, where often tens of thousands of watts are heating the building, the difference in the utility bill will make a compelling argument.

3)Colour spectrums
LED grow light diodes have a blend of only the wavelengths that are needed in the correct ratios necessary for cannabis photosynthesis. These wavelengths are mainly the reds, oranges and blues in the 580-630nm and 420-470nm ranges. LED grow lights have gone through several iterations and the most effective grow lights now include white ,ultraviolet and infrared diodes as well. The best LED grow lights come from companies that have tested various blends of diodes and formulated optimal diode ratios that best mimic the photosynthetic action radiation necessary for plant growth.

 What puts LED above HID/HPS lights is that these LEDs are able to produce the maximum peak spectral output of a specific colour, something a HID light cannot obtain. This means that high quality LEDs output a much better quality of light than an equivalent HID - allowing cannabis plants under an LED light set to the right spectrum will be able to perform photosynthesis more ideally than cannabis plants placed under a HID/HPS bulb.

4) Lifespan
LED lights last about 100 times as long as light bulbs and 6-7 times as long as compact fluorescent lights.Unlike HPS/HID , growers dont need to change the bulbs again , again and again, it saves time and money.

LED grow lights have truly come of age and indoor growers are finally able to take advantage of this technology to grow green and grow more efficiently than they have ever been able to before.
