What do you need to know before buying LED commercial grow lights?

If you begin with the wrong type of grow lights, it will ruin your efforts as well as wreak havoc on the grown plants too. That is the reason why you need to make a wise decision and purchase. So, you need to consider a few factors before buying LED commercial grow lights. Here, we have enlisted a lot of factors that are mandatory to keep in mind before purchasing anything. Let us take a look at these factors below.

Output The output delivered must be the vital factor that you should consider at the top. Thus, ensure that you have gone


through the details of the product to get knowledge about the total output to figure out how many units a specific light claims to have. The light’s output ranges from 300 Watt to up to 1000 Watt. But if you are looking for a grow light commercially, then 400W is the best choice. Also, you can’t get the whole light out of the LED as chips may get burnt after a certain time irrespective of the quality.

Heat Heat and light are associated with each other. When it is the matter of indoor growing, the temperature plays a vital role in it. By saying this, the biggest contributor is the grow lights in case of increasing temperature in growing tents or rooms. This issue can be sorted out with the help of a ventilation system and it is recommended to go for fullspectrum LED and ignore the issue altogether.

Spectrum The light spectrum is another factor that you need to aware of. When growing plants indoors, then infrared as well as ultraviolet lights keep counting. You need to pick up an ideal PAR value even though the plants can grow under various kinds of light but photosynthesis must be efficient. A safe bet will be a full-spectrum light as it caters to all plants' needs throughout each stage of plant growth.


Wavelength During the various stages of emitting wavelength, the LED stimulates all types of herb plants within the period of the life cycle. A certain wavelength affects the particular sides of plant growth such as flowering, seedling, vegetation. There is a wide range of wavelengths involved in fullspectrum like the Sun. It is beneficial at all stages of growth. Conversely, adjustable LEDs enable you to adjust the wavelength as per the given length.
