LED grow lights are a type of artificial lighting used to grow plants indoors. LEDs offer many advantages over traditional grow lights, such as being more energy-efficient, having a longer lifespan, and producing less heat.
Leafy Greens is an encompassing term that applies to a variety of plants, including lettuce, microgreens, herbs, and speciality leafy vegetables. Leafy greens prefer cooler temperatures, making them autumnal and winter crops. However, natural solar radiation is not optimal during these seasons resulting in longer production times. In addition, plants may become elongated and anthocyanins levels reduced. So, without adequate light, growth-related issues can become compounded.
LED grow lights allow you to grow plants all year round, and can guarantee a healthy yield that hasn’t been hindered by lack of light. Improving the quality of your crop and reducing waste allows you to increase revenue and profits - the lights will soon pay for themselves.
Benefits of LED Grow Lights
The main benefits of LED grow lights are:
-
Full spectrum - LED grow lights produce a full spectrum of light, which is essential for plant growth. They omit the wavelengths of light that plants need for photosynthesis.
-
Energy efficient - LED grow lights use up to 50% less energy than traditional grow lights, saving you money on your electricity bill and helping the environment.
-
Longer lifespan: LED grow lights can last up to 50,000 hours, which is much longer than traditional grow lights. Therefore, you will need to replace your LED grow lights less often, making them cost-effective.
-
Produce less heat - LED grow lights omit less heat than traditional grow lights. This is important if you are growing plants in a small space, such as a closet or a small room.

-
The type of plants you’re growing: Different plants require different levels of light. You need to choose an LED grow light that provides the right amount of light for your plants.
