Benefits Of LED Grow Lights

Why Choose LED Grow Lights?

Energy Efficiency:

XSLED LED grow lights use around 75% less energy than their power-hungry HID counterparts. LED bulbs are designed to provide amazing results while using the least power possible. And because they don’t generate heat, energy does not need to be expended on heat fans or air conditioning systems. A 300w LED grow light is approximately equivalent to a 1000w traditional light!

Exceptional Plant Growth:



You may wonder why most LED light bulbs use only red and blue lights. This special combination of light frequencies produces a light source that plants readily absorb. Only about 35% of the power and 10% of the light emitted from metal halide grow lights gets used by plants. LED lights are the superior choice when it comes to maximizing plant growth. Ninety percent of light from LED bulbs can be absorbed by plants.



Years-Long Lifetime:

Every other grow light on the market needs to be replaced frequently, depending on how often you use them. LED grow lights offer an amazing lifespan of around 50,000 to 100,000 hours. This long life is unheard of in incandescent and HID lighting. If left on 24 hours a day, these lights could last for over 5 years (at 50,000 hours)! And that’s if you left it on non-stop.

Very Low Heat:

All of the bright power of LED grow lamps produces hardly any heat. When on, the light becomes slightly warm and is safe to touch. Users don’t have to hassle with fans to keep the growing room cool. Typical grow lights can even burn plants if kept too close. Young plants and seedlings thrive without getting burned or scorched.

Variable Color Levels:

Some LED grow light models feature variable color adjustment, allowing users to change the levels of blue/red color to perfectly match the ideal growing conditions for specific plants.

Safety:

LED bulbs do not give off harmful UV radiation, Infrared light, and do not contain lead or mercury. This makes them safe for you, your plants and the environment. Shock, fire and burn risks that are inherent in traditional lighting systems do not exist with LED grow lights.
