LED Grow Lights - How LED Grow Lights Now Rival HPS
Not so long ago LED grow lights arrived on the market, low yields and small fruits were the cry from the general growing community but nowadays the humble LED grow light has started a growing renaissance with large yields and large fruits easily achievable.
The new LED grow lights on the market now offer comparable results to High Pressure Sodium (Hps) lighting but at a fraction of the running costs of Sodium, so how has technology evolved to now provide a LED light to rival Hps in both terms of yield and fruit size. The development of high power LED diodes and advanced heat dissipation systems now allow the LED diodes to run at higher voltages than ever before, the newest LED grow lights now come fitted with either double optical lens or triple optical lens which both intensify the light and also provide the perfect light dispersion pattern suitable for explosive growth in both vegetative and bloom cycles of plant growth.
These new lights now have the power to rival the light output of Hps however the introduction of specialised wavelengths and ratios combined with the high power LED diodes are what makes the new LED grow lights so effective. The early lights came with a limited spectrum namely Blue, Red and occasionally Orange, the new wavelengths and ratios available now cover the entire spectrum and include Ultra Violet, Blue, Red, Green,Yellow,Orange, Infra Red, 2700K-7000K white.
