LED Grow Lights – New Technology in LEDs

LED grow lights have proven again and again how essential they are to growing plants indoors and they are very much the thought after light for such purposes. Their importance in the field of horticulture has led to a lot of research into making LED grow lights even more effective and efficient. Many companies have succeeded in doing so and have produced a range of products in the LED grow lights line that have proved immensely popular. Some in fact have been introduced to the market as recently as just a few months back.

Some companies that manufacture LED grow lights are now producing newer products that have a special synergy meaning that they have the ability to now deliver a much higher heat output, the percentage increase being around 40%. While this in itself is of a massive benefit to the plants being grown indoors in terms of looks and growth, the best part of this new technology is that it contains the same power utilization as before. This in turn means that in spite of the high power output, you do not have to face an increase in your electricity bills. Where the issue of safety is concerned, again despite more power being generated, the bulbs are still just warm to the touch, not hot. The risk of getting burned or injured is there forever still minimal. Another benefit that these new types of LED grow lights have is that they provide an even helmet spectrum of light. This affects the plants in a really positive way, especially that they will grow exactly the way they would in natural sunlight, and even better, the taste will be identified as well.

These improved LED lights have been received with a lot of positive response. Many people have reported that even if their plants are not in bloom, these LED lights have helped in delivering a better color to them. Others have reported in high numbers that they have been able to bring their crops in early in the year which has allowed them to give new seedlings an early start as well. Some certain plants especially tomato plants have shown a very noticeable increase in height in a short period of time, and the foliage has also been greener and a lot bushier than before.

Another way in which this new and improved LED grow lights technology is being used very effectively is in growing edible kelp and micro-algae. The growth of these organizations under these LED grow lights has been seen to be thicker and healthier, and the growth rate appears to have increased by a certain percentage. In point of fact, a lot of marine biologists now recommend that such LED grow lights be used instead of any other for results that are fantastic to behold. In the same vein, these lights are also being used successfully in aquariums, whether commercial or in the home. They can be mounted on both the top and bottom of the aquarium and not only save a massive amount of energy but also minimize low light pollution.
