Reasons why LED grow lights are more advantageous than traditional grow lights

1.LED grow lights have higher reliability and longer life than traditional grow lights

        LED chips can be said to be semi-permanent artificial light sources. If the assembly, packaging and other processes are done well, generally speaking, the life of LED plant lights can be as high as tens of thousands of hours, which means that the lights can be turned on continuously for about 5 years, which is the number of incandescent lamps. Ten times, which is several times that of fluorescent lamps and HID lamps. Although high-power LED plant lamps have the problem of heating and their lifespan is slightly shorter, they can also reach more than 30,000 hours. From this point of view, LED plant lamps are more efficient than traditional plant lamps. It has great advantages in life and reliability.

2.LED grow lights have a narrower spectrum than traditional grow lights

        The luminous wavelength of LED grow lights can be customized by the user, and the emitted spectrum can be well controlled within the range of light required by plants. In addition to emitting the spectrum required for plant growth, traditional grow lights also have a large part of the light that plants do not need. Yes, this will not only consume power, but also cannot complete the task of plant lighting.

3. LED grow lights have lower calorific value than traditional grow lights

        The energy conversion efficiency of LED plant lights in the visible light region is 70%-80%, which is obviously improved, far greater than that of traditional plant lights. Of the total power, all but the radiant portion of the visible light is converted into heat. In terms of heat generation, LED grow lights generate much less heat than traditional grow lights.

4.LED grow lights have lower damage rate than traditional grow lights

        Traditional plant lights mostly use glass tubes (lampshades), which have fragile defects. LED plant lights rarely use glass materials (lens plant lights will use them). In general, the anti-vibration and anti-collision capabilities of LED plant lights are better than Traditional grow lights are much stronger.

5. LED plant lights have higher luminous efficiency than traditional plant lights

        The electro-optical conversion efficiency of LED plant lights is about 20--30%, while the electro-optical conversion efficiency of traditional incandescent lamps is only 2--3%, which means that to achieve the same amount of light, LED plant lights can save about 90% of electricity. , the luminous efficiency is ten times higher, and 2--3 times higher than other plant lights.

6.LED grow lights are lighter than traditional grow lights

        LED grow lights are solid light sources made of semiconductor materials, which are small and light. Traditional plant growth lights take up a lot of space and cannot be flexibly applied to various positions that require supplemental light. LED plant lights can be arbitrarily shaped, and LED plant light strips can even be wrapped around vines to supplement light. Compared with traditional plant growth lights, LED plant growth lights The light's small size, light weight, and flexibility allow for greater freedom of control.

7.LED plant lights are more environmentally friendly than traditional plant lights

        Since LED plant lights do not use harmful substances such as mercury in fluorescent lamps, the lamps can be recycled and will not pollute the environment under the condition of reasonable use and recycling.

8. LED grow lights respond faster than traditional grow lights

        Because LED utilizes the phenomenon of electron-hole annihilation to emit light directly, the response time of light emission is very short, usually less than 100ms, and the actual response speed will be restricted by the driving circuit and so on. It takes a very long time for traditional plant lights to turn on and emit light steadily, which is 0.15-0.25s. Traditional plant lights use the discharge phenomenon, so from the start of discharge to stable lighting, various additional circuits are required, so their response time is longer than that of LED plant lights.
