[http://www.dragondiscount.com LED Grow Lights] only deliver the spectrum of light used by plants for efficient and healthy growth. By leaving out the wavelengths plants won't use, they provide better energy efficiency than conventional grow lights. Over 80% of the light emitted from an HID Light is wasted in the form of non-absorbable light waves as well as heat energy. The expected life of a LED grow lamp is on average 50,000 hours. This is 10 to 50 times longer than a typical Sodium/HID grow light bulb.The LED light is generally used for domestic purposes, specifically gardening. The light is used to help plants grow. They actually help to accelerate plant growth due to the wavelength of light emitted through them. The photosynthesis process requires that a certain amount of wavelengths is emitted through a plant in order for it to grow. [http://www.dragondiscount.com LED growing lights] emit these wavelengths at the right amounts, which is why growth accelerates. A traditional bulb does not have this effect on plant growth. For this reason, these lights are extremely popular with gardeners.LED grow lights are Energy Saving. Switching to low energy, solid state lighting benefits the environment. The low power requirements of LED light sources make them ideal for self-contained, solar or wind powered installations, particularly in remote locations. LED's consume far less energy than standard light bulbs, leading to greatly reduced energy costs. LEDs also require far less energy to manufacture than other light sources, reducing their environmental impact even further.Powerful 300w LED grow light rivals a standard 1000w HID. High Intensity Discharge Broad spectrum grow lights produce a lot of light wave spectrum that plants can't use efficiently. LED Grow Lights only deliver the colors of light used by plants for efficient and healthy growth. The directional nature of the LED's ensures 100% of the light is pointed downwards so no reflector is needed.The output of a 300W LED is equivalent to a 1000W HID Grow Light...( It's no that the 300W LED emits more Lumen output than a 1,000W HID, but the LED does emit the same amount of usable light as a 1,000W HID. This is due to the fact that LED's only emit key absorbable light that your plants are able to use which makes it possible to achieve comparable results with an HID at just a fraction of the wattage and cost.Another benefit of using these grow lights is that they do not deteriorate. These are lights, which are designed to be resistant to shock, so they will never abruptly burn out. The light will simply dim over a period of time until it needs to be replaced. Regular lights will just burn out suddenly. This will not occur with LED lights. In fact, it will take quite some time before the dimming of the light is noticed. Advantages: ? Efficiency: LEDs emit more light per watt than incandescent bulbs. Their efficiency is not affected by shape and size, unlike Fluorescent light bulbs or tubes. LED Grow lights reduced power consumption (can be just 10% of HID lights) With the development of ever improving LED (light emitting diodes) lighting over the last several years, it is finally becoming economical to use LED's as grow lights for your indoor gardening and seed starting needs.? Color: LEDs can emit light of an intended color without using any color filters as traditional lighting methods need. This is more efficient and can lower initial costs.? Targeted Light Output: Whereas a broad-spectrum plant grow light produce's light that isn't absorbed by the plants, most LED grow lights will only produce colors in the ranges that the plants can use for growth.? Size: LEDs can be very small (smaller than 2 mm2) and are easily populated onto printed circuit boards the lights have the ability to save 75% or more energy than traditional lights. They generally will use 100 watts of power, and they last fifty times longer than traditional lights. LED lights are designed to last for seven years or more. They have proven to drastically reduce the consumption of energy, which helps to save natural resources.? Cool light: In contrast to most light sources, LEDs radiate very little heat in the form of IR that can cause damage to sensitive objects or fabrics. Wasted energy is dispersed as heat through the base of the LED. Traditional grow lights get hot and heat can be a problem. The more watts of light you use, the more heat those lights generate. Even 250 watt lights can heat a small area beyond acceptable limits. If the temperature gets too hot it could have a negative effect on the plants by slowing down growth or killing them. Some growers use an air conditioner to cool the air, others prefer to vent hot air from the ceiling into another room, attic, or outside through the chimney, roof, or wall. Your local hardware store should have some kind of exhaust system. I've seen bathroom fan, dryer vent, and other similar systems adapted to serve this purpose. There are also air cooled lighting systems to remove heat produced by lights before the air can affect the grow area. If you are using more than 250 watts of lighting, you will probably have to use an exhaust system.
