What You Need To Know About LED Grow Light Systems

Updated on May 2, 2015

Why don't we get this part straight because there will be those who swear for hps, cmh and mh lighting style ABOVE AND BEYOND almost any and all led grow lights


Can Led Grow Lighting Out Yield Hps Lamps?

On average a grower is effective at producing .50 to .75 gpw using a hps growing system and that is of course respectable volumes wise BUT many neglect the added costs regarding hps grow lights (electricity, replacement bulbs, a/c, ducting, temperatures in general).When the leds came out they were being shunned FULL FORCE and still to the day that resentment continues BUT can be quite biased by those who aren't familiar WITH led light technology.

What if I were to inform you that it's possible to easily achieve 1gpw OR MORE using a simple led grow light source panel. Would you feel me? Odds are you won't but that's ok, i'll continue before you make it possible for many misconceptions to stop you from making one of the best investments you can make as a grower.

My True Thoughts And Led Grow Review Outcome

I have personally found and documented over A COUPLE various led grows within the passed couple years. I am an owner of a legal medical marijuana card and the good folks who I have documented are too (for those who have to know). While the hps grower normally can yield more we have a huge cost difference between the 2 grow styles.

The Costs Of Managing a Led Grow Light Is approximately 90% Less Than HPS

Let's assume you can apply 1gpw with your hps system BUT allow me to remind you that one of many new led grow lights can produce as much as (if not more) 8gpw. Assume that the hps and led made 1gpw, what do you think the costs is usually to run a high energy hps light with all the accessories, possible a/c, ducting, heating good and the bad, bulb replacements (many will be ninety bucks each).

Anything Producing 1+GPW Is usually Something Worth Testing At the very least Once

The led light system runs very cool, doesn't need a/c, ducting, replacement bulbs (many contributed panels last 10+ years) and don't forget the costs for you to power those VERY VIBRANT yet VERY INEFFICIENT HID lights. Do you think a 600w led a led light would cost ANYWHERE NEAR what 600w hps grow lamp would cost?


HPS Spectrums Are Wrong For Plants And it is Why They Need Numerous Lumens To Compare In order to Leds

Many people also get confused by lumen power with that led light lumen output as compared to hps systems. What these simple but powerful led panels include are practically 100% efficient light that the plants NEED.


If You Can Generate Better With Leds AND ALSO Save On Electricity Why Wouldn't Get Them?

If you haven't tried out a hand and hand comparison then I suggest you choose to do so BEFORE you burn your home down with those very hot hps lights. Imagine being in a position to NOT have to upgrade those hps bulbs every Six months time or sometimes sooner as a result of them burning out (common by using digital ballasts).

Thanks and may your harvests be bountiful!
