LED Grow Lights

Magnum Plus LED Grow Light with 11 dialed in spectrums.

It has been said for years that LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) are the future of grow lights. Well, for those that can afford it, the future is here. For those on a tight budget, the future is still the future, but it is getting much closer. LED grow lights are finally capable of replacing (and even outperforming) the HID (High Intensity Discharge) lights that have been used in grow rooms for over thirty years.

LED lights each emit a single color (wavelength) of light, rather than a wide spectrum. This allows LED grow lights to be designed to emit only the types of light that the plants will use, making them incredibly efficient. A 180 watt LED grow light can replace a 600 watt HID bulb, which is less than one third of the energy previously used for the same exact space.

Lower wattage also means less heat being released into the grow room, which keeps the plants happier and can save on other ventilation and cooling costs. Any commercial growers out there please invest some of that cash into this technology.

Be sure to buy one with a wide variety of bulb colors (five to eleven different wavelengths of light) because the single-wavelength LED grow lights are only useful to supplement lights with a more complete (and more wasteful) spectrum. You’ll save money, and eventually your purchases will bring the price of these awesome lights down to a point where everyone can afford them.
