How to choose best grow lights for indoor plants
Grow lights for indoor plants allow you to cultivate a wide variety of plants at any climate during any time of year. These growing lights are specially designed to substitute natural sunlight, stimulating photosynthesis and providing the right color spectrum where the plant can grow and flourish. Energy efficient led grow lights are possible lighting of the future agriculture. They are small electric diodes made of semiconductors. It releases energy in the form of photons.it is used for plants which do not get sufficient amounts of light. Modern LEDs have high brightness and come in a variety of colors. They utilize led chips in an efficient way to produce lights similar to that of a sun for growing plants. It has an advantage over regular lights. The plant gets the required amount of heat. Light affects the color of the plant.
Things to know before buying a light for indoor plants;
A white light contains 7 colors in it. It is called the spectrum of light. Each color is denoted by the parameter called wavelength. Plants need different color wavelengths for different growth. E.g blue wavelength for vegetative growth, red for fruit or flower production. This is the reason why grow lights are a combination of blue and red color. There are alternatives also available for those who do not prefer such vibrant colors. You must check the kelvin before purchasing the light. Kelvin is the color temperature of the light. More the kelvin measure, the whiter the light. It is a personal preference of what color light you want. Lumen and lux, Lumen is the amount of light that is coming out of a light bulb. Lux is the amount of light received at a given point. The farther you move, light starts to fade. Plants require 1000-8000 lux for satisfactory growth. It is a good idea to invest in these lights.
