All Hydro Led Light Advantages

By Jayne Rutledge


When it comes to indoor growing, hydro led light has many advantages, compared to other similar devices. This technology of high output light emitting diodes uses less energy, and simulates natural sunlight. Natural sunlight is needed for successful growth of all plants, including food plants, flowers and all other plants that use the process of photosynthesis for their growth.

Photosynthesis is the source of life. Sunlight can be successfully simulated using led diodes, and this really is a great advantage for anyone who would like to grow plants in area where there is no adequate numbers of sunny days, or the weather conditions don't allow it. This way, you can grow your favorite plants wherever and whenever you want, using artificial sunlight.

Indoor growing demands special conditions. For example, it is necessary to provide periods with and without light, to simulate natural day and night cycle. Different wavelengths produce different colors. It is well known that some colors are better for some types of plants. Blue spectrum is very good when it comes to vegetables, and red one is better for growing fruits.

The beauty of using LED lights is in their ability to produce the exact wavelength that is needed to fulfill specific requirements. This way they use less energy, because they don't have to produce all unnecessary wavelengths at the time. Producing only the desired spectrum, they also don't generate excessive heat, as other sources do. Excessive heat may damage your plants.

Although led panels are available in all shapes and sizes, these lights are actually quite small. Thanks to that, they can be used in very small spaces. There are numerous manufacturers today, and their prices depend on the quality, mainly. More expensive devices usually come with warranty, and they have better durability and higher level of performance.

Although maintenance costs are very reasonable, thanks to great durability and low energy consumption, initial costs might be quite high. Besides, this type of equipment requires special temperature conditions. This shouldn't be a problem, because you probably have temperature controlled conditions if you are dealing with indoor growing.

There are different types of led lights, when it comes to a spectrum they emit. Some emit only a targeted spectrum, and some can emit a full one, depending on your requirements. It is important to know which plants you are going to plant, before deciding which leds to buy. Choose the lights tailored to meet specific requirements.

Mimicking specific conditions, led lights can significantly improve the growth. For example, using different lamps intensity, temperature and color spectrum, you can mimic specific weather conditions to stimulate natural growing cycle, such as blooming. Designing different conditions for different growing stages, you can achieve very nice results.

Hydro led light is especially interesting when it comes to hydroponic growing. Almost all terrestrial plants can be grown using this technology. This method doesn't need soil at all. The plants grow in the water solution of different mineral nutrients, and leds are used to replace natural sunlight. Plants may be grown in liquid only, or with the addition of inert medium such as gravel.
