Grow Lights
LED grow lights offer other efficiencies and advantages as well. LED systems require no heavy ballasts or bulky reflectors and shades, making them easier to mount and maintain. Nor do LED systems create excessive waste heat, reducing and in some cases eliminating the need for elaborate and energy-consuming ventilation systems. A further energy-cost saving is realized in the extreme durability of LEDs, which can last up to 100,000 hours — 12 years under normal usage conditions — eliminating up to 50 burnt-out bulbs and ballast fixtures from landfills and recycling stations.
Not all plants require the same color of light to grow, and they may need different colors of light at varying stages of development. LED grow lights are available in several colors. Your seedlings can have the blue light they usually need, fruit bearing plants can enjoy orange light, and your flowering plants can obtain their optimal development with red light. LED grow lights are better for the environment, your personal energy budget, and your indoor plants.
