Things to consider before buying There are a couple of things you absolutely need to consider before choosing the best LED grow light : 1) Spacing: You absolutely need to ensure that you have an idea of the amount of space you want to cover with your LED lights. Each light has a maximum range of space that it can cover, and it'll be important to understand the measurements of your grow space down to the centimeter. If you currently do not know what that is, you should find out now. After that is done, make sure you read reviews and feedback from others on the actual space that the LED light can cover (sometimes, products are not as advertised... shocking, I know). 2) Brand/Budget/Price: This will be important as the higher-quality lights typically yield the best results. If you are a beginner, you will likely want to start with a lower priced option to get your feet feet wet. If you are more experienced, it never hurts to go with the quality, higher-priced option.

LED lights for home use have become very popular and many people are considering them for growing plants, especially for starting seedlings. It sounds like a great idea. LED lights use very little electricity so they save money Do LED Grow Lights Use Less Electricity? Short answer: Compared to HID grow lights , the short answer is YES, they do.

Growing plants indoors is fun and therapeutic, especially during Michigan’s dark, winter days. Forcing bulbs, starting seedlings, blooming African violets or orchids, or just growing foliage plants that clean the air is a welcomed alternative to staring out a window viewing the magnificent desolation of the season. In order to produce and keep good quality plants, supplemental lighting is usually required. Utility costs are really up and some people might be a bit concerned about the extra expense that plant lights will add to the monthly bill.  The first thing that we will look at is the rate paid for electricity. This can be found on your bill and is expressed in cents per kWhr (kilowatt hour). For example, my basic energy charge is $0.079797/kWhr, but there is more. Added to the basic rate is a PSCR renewable energy, system access distribution, energy efficiency and securization charges plus a securization tax, which brings the rate up to $0.122109/kWhr. The next t...

LED Grow Lights LED’s are the new kids on the block. The technology has come very far in a short amount of time. Two years ago, I wouldn’t have even talked about LED grow lights but now it’s all that I use. LED suppliers have claimed for a long time that their LED systems provided bigger better buds and yields while using half the electricity of HIP lighting. Until recently this was not true. People have been sold low quality LED lights and were told they would grow better plants and it was just not the case for several years.
