The Advantages Of Hydro Led Light

By Jayne Rutledge


Hydro Led light is used to reproduce the sunlight frequencies needed to sustain life. This low energy, high output light emitting diode technology is the latest trend in sunless agriculture. It allows agriculture production in areas where it couldn't be otherwise possible to grow plants. The use of this technology allows growing vegetables, crops and other plants in all seasons.

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 also require natural day and night cycle, as well as natural, outdoor growing. Although natural sunlight emits all wavelengths, some are more suitable for successful growing of particular plants. Vegetables growth is stimulated using blue spectrum lights, and some other plants, for example flowers, grow better exposed to red spectrum.

LED lights have the ability to produce the exact spectrum needed for particular plants. Because they don't have to produce the full color spectrum, they consume less energy, and they target the desired purpose. Doing that, they don't produce so much heat as other similar sources. Excessive heat may be dangerous for your plants, and make significant damages sometimes.

LED lights are small, and can be placed on differently sized and shaped panels, according to your needs. Thanks to their size, they are suitable for very small spaces. You will find a wide range of prices, when it comes to leds. Their quality may vary, as well as their durability, and they cost accordingly. Better quality always come with warranty.

The main downside is the price, initial costs for installing LEDs are considerably higher, comparing to other similar sources. Another thing to consider is that they require controlled temperature conditions. If overheated, LEDs can be damaged and they can burn. On the other hand, growing plants indoor also requires controlled temperature. Later on, thanks to lower energy consumption, these expenses are lowered.

Some LED lights emit a full spectrum, and others target specific colors. Different combinations are also available. This means your final choice should depend primarily on your selected indoor growing plants. The best results are achieved using lights designed to emit specific spectrum, tailored to satisfy the needs of the plants being cultivated.

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 particularly designed for growing hydroponic plants. This specific type of cultivating plants without soil is quite successful. Instead of using soil, they are placed in mineral nutrients solution, in water, with or without using gravel, clay or some other inert medium. Most terrestrial plants can be grown this way, and it is especially interesting for growing some sorts of flowers, for example.
