Long before LED grow lights appeared on the market, the choices for indoor growers were limited. HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) and MH (Metal Halide) lamps were the best more reliable choice for indoor gardeners. Bright, powerful and cheap, they are still quite popular. However, the advancements in the LED technology has created more efficient, equally bright grow lights. The emergence of the LED grow panels 5-6 years ago created a series of debates over which solution is the best. At that time, HID lighting would be a clear winner, as LEDs were far too weak for indoor growing purposes. Nowadays, however,...

LED lighting has itself only recently become a standard in the community, thanks to lower prices and their longevity. LEDs mimic natural light and provide a full, balanced spectrum of red, blue and green. They are composed of light-emitting diodes, their design features help make them more energy-efficient and longer-lasting, and often they are equipped with cooling systems, which improve brightness and longevity by keeping temperatures low. A new technology for LED grow lights is stepping forward, increasing in popularity, and may soon become the industry standard. This technology is called COB, or “chips on board.” Let’s go ahead and...

LED grow lights, have made indoor plant growing possible for everyone, regardless of where they live. Lighting is the most important aspect of plant development and that’s why in the last few years, manufacturers have focused on producing more efficient models for indoor gardens. LED grow lights combine minimal design, durability and better performance while being more efficient and adjustable. However, buying one for the first time can be tricky, due to the complicated terminology that is used in the product descriptions. In this short guide, we’ll share some tips for you to choose your very first LED grow light!...

When you are searching the market for a new LED grow panel, you have probably come across incomprehensible scientific terms, such as PAR, PPF, and PPFD. Manufacturers and reviewers often quote these obscure acronyms as important indicators of a unit’s efficiency. But what do they really mean? In this article, we would like to dig a little bit deeper into the science behind LED panels. That’s why we are going to explain these fancy physics terms in a way that everyone can understand! What Is PAR The acronym stands for Photosynthetically Active Radiation and refers to the total energy required...
