Use LED grow lights!

 

LED is the abbreviation of Light Emitting Diode. Now-a-days this type of technology is used for making of light bulbs as well as used in most type of display units. The traditional bulbs had a disadvantage of too much power consumption and loss, mainly due to heating. These disadvantages are eradicated in LED bulbs.

LED bulbs are mainly made up of a semiconductor material. When electric current passes through this material the electrons gets charged up and move rigorously among themselves and thus giving light. The LED lights can work with a very amount of electricity provided. The traditional bulbs dissipate a huge amount of heat when they glow and thus waste a huge amount of electricity. As electricity is a renewable source of energy so your target will be to save it and not waste it. Moreover LED lights have more life span than the traditional bulbs so the problem of frequent replacement becomes almost zero.

Some of you have a target of growing plants. Now-a-days gardening is a hectic job so you may try to grow your plants indoor. Moreover if some wants to grow a plant in large quantity and also want to increase the yield of the plant for meeting a specific target, you require artificial technique and hence the use of artificial lights came into existence.

In the past, people used to use bulbs for doing this. But bulbs cause a lot of damage to the plants. As plants require exact amount of light and exact wavelength and these features cannot be provided by the traditional bulbs, colored plastic over white bulbs were used. Still the exact wavelength could not be figured out. Maybe the environment didn’t support the growing of such specific plants. Here you will find specific lights for the natural growth of the plant as sunlight cannot provide you that exact yield you are focusing into. So you can totally rely upon artificial light for the growth of your plants. Also unnecessary heat emission took place to cause loss of electricity.

To eradicate all these problems LED growth lights came into the market. In these lights, you can control the emission rate, and figure out the exact wavelength required for your plant. Ultimately these are cost effective solutions. You can now choose the best led grow light that will perfect for your plants. Some of the LED light can also be programmed to give the maximum output. Here mainly blue and red light are required of the visible spectrum. But sometimes some of the other lights may also be required and are available.

The light should be dimmed when not required. The stem and leaves of the plant will also not be affected by the LED light as they don’t heat up on turning them on for a longer amount of time. You can also water your plant while those lights are on. It doesn’t cause any harm to the plants or the light. The ultraviolet rays of the sun cause damage to the plants and decrease their large scale production, but using the LED glow lights is a safe and long lasting technique.
