AgroMax 720W VS GrowBright 660W LED Grow Light
Are LED Grow Lights Better Than HID?
Yes. LED grow lights are superior to HID for a variety of reasons - Energy efficiency, safety, flexibility, and longevity.
Back when LED technology was brand new, LED grow lights were considered inferior to HID (High-Intensity Discharge) grow lights including MH grow light and HPS grow light. LEDs were not as powerful or as reliable, and as a result, professional growers did not trust them to give the quality and yields they wanted.
These days, things have definitely changed. LED technology has grown better, brighter and more advanced. LED grow light bulbs are more powerful than ever. CREE, SMD and reflector technologies have brought LEDs to the forefront of professional grow operations. Individual LED diodes are brighter than ever and the addition of reflector cups helps to increase canopy penetration better than HID bulbs could ever achieve.
LEDs are far more energy-efficient than HID grow lights. Why? Mainly because they do not put out nearly as much heat. HID bulbs get extremely hot, while LEDs remain cool to the touch even after hours upon hours of use. HID bulbs pose a fire risk, especially when left on unattended for 18 to 24 hours per day during vegetative growth. You also have to be careful not to hang HIDs too close to your plants or you could scorch them.
Because HID was the industry standard for so long, LED manufacturers will usually list their grow light wattage in terms of its HID equivalent, although they are not always listed as the exact equivalent wattage. LED grow lights may be more expensive than HID upfront, but they will save you money in the long run. HID bulbs must be replaced yearly if you want to maintain the same level of plant growth. MH and HPS bulbs start to lose intensity after about a year, and even though they still power on, your yields will suffer if you are not using bright new bulbs each year. LED grow lights can be used year after year with no change in brightness.
LED lights are lightweight and easy to hang. Because HIDs use ignited gas to create light, a ballast is required to regulate the voltage reaching the bulb. These ballasts are heavy and bulky, and when combined with the bulb, reflector hood, and inline fan ducting, it becomes a huge hassle to hang HID grow lights. LEDs, on the other hand, are usually a lightweight panel that can be hung with thin wires. While HIDs can only be hung horizontally, LED grow lights can be hung vertically or horizontally in order to reach even the darkest corners of your grow room.
As mentioned earlier, HID refers to both Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs. MH bulbs are suitable for vegetative growth, while HPS are suitable for flowering. This means you have to switch your bulbs out every time you are ready to enter the next growth stage. Many LED grow lights remove this hassle and make it as easy as flipping a switch.

AgroMax AFS 1830 LED Grow Light
The AgroMax Advanced Full Spectrum (AFS) 1830 delivers powerful, uniform light coverage with its 6-bar design and of 1830 µmol PPF for full-cycle growing. Constructed with full-spectrum chips from Samsung and Mean Well drivers, this unit is top quality and build to last. The AFS-1830 features both on-board dimming and optional remote control for intensity management. Spectral boost is provided with added red, blue, UV, and IR LED chips to nourish your garden. The AFS-1830 operates on 120-277v power supplies and uses 720 watts for an extraordinary 2.54 µmol/watt!
Features:
• Advanced full spectrum includes UV and IR light
• Top quality components including Samsung chips and Mean Well drivers
• On board dimming, and optional remote control function for up to 100 fixtures
• Commercial ready sturdy quick connect installation
• Fixture constructed of Marine Grade Aluminum for maximum durability
• Includes heavy-duty rope ratchet hangers
• Includes power cord with standard NEMA 5-15 grounded plug
Advanced Full-Spectrum – Powerful Output
While LED grow lights found elsewhere are built to meet the minimum standards of plant growth, AgroMax’s AFS 1830 is built to give growers intense light output with an advanced full spectrum. White Samsung LEDs provide full-spectrum output, giving your plant the essential light it needs to grow. Supplemental Red, Blue, Ultraviolet (UV-A), and Infrared (IR) chips enhance that same spectrum. By targeting key areas of peak photosynthetic activity, the AFS 1830 supports vigorous plant growth and maintains spectral coverage from 380-780nm. Powerful output means powerful plant growth, and with the AFS 1830, 1830 micromols powerful light output is guaranteed with an Advanced Full Spectrum.
Intelligent Control
Control of garden lighting is essential for success, and a standard timer can’t always do the job. Advanced indoor growing applications may call for the ability to dim output levels or adjust light cycles dynamically, which often needs to be synchronized across multiple lights. AgroMax AFS 1830 grow lights make all of this simple with intelligent programming via external controller (sold separately). The controller’s intuitive interface and included remote make it easy to dim light levels, set timing, and program temperature-based dimming or dynamic output (sunrise/sunset) cycles across multiple AFS fixtures with the push of a button. Each AFS fixture features control input and output ports, allowing up to 100 fixtures to operate on a single AFS controller unit.
