The characteristics of LED plant lights

Feb 19, 2024 Leave a message

When using LED plant growth lights, you should understand their functions. Therefore, here are some basic functions of LED lights:
Some people claim that plants cannot grow under LED lights. But now, with the progress in this field and the discovery of blue LEDs, this view has changed.
For plants, a specific wavelength of light is necessary for photosynthesis and growth.
Scientific experiments have determined that the red and blue wavelengths are the most important wavelengths. Workshop lights or traditional LED lights do not emit blue and red light, which is crucial for plant growth. These have special characteristics for human vision.
Understanding power (in watts)
Watt is a measure of the energy input required for light. The output of LED lights depends not only on the functionality of the watt, but also on the quality of other components and designs. These components are:
LED chip quality
Lamp bead density
optical design
radiator
LED driver power supply
The increase in power reduces LED efficiency due to the increase in temperature in electronic circuit boards. Therefore, when LED manufacturers claim that Watt is an indicator of plant growth ability, it is questionable. Therefore, you need to have a wealth of knowledge about wattage and PAR, and it must depend on the manufacturer's information.
