What are LED Grow Lights?
What are LED Grow Lights? Light emitting diode (LED) grow lights are a form of technology often used to provide plants and flowers with sufficient light to grow in greenhouses and indoors. It is an alternative to high intensity discharge (HID) lighting and metal halide (MH) lighting, which often use up to 75 percent more power and produce more heat than LED grow lights. Whether for commercial or non-commercial use, LED grow lights usually offer energy savings and are easy to install. They can also be combined with solar and wind technologies to maximize savings on electricity bills. Manufacturers of grow led light often measure the brightness in lumen or lux. These measurements refer to how bright the room appears when the LED light is turned on. This is not indicative of how well plants will grow, however, because it is not based on photo synthetically active radiation (PAR), which is the part of the spectrum plants use. The micro Einstein measurement is often a better way to
