People choose LED illuminators to light their indoor garden or greenhouse for the obvious reasons.
Less Energy Consumption – Conventional Grow Light sources like Incandescents, Fluorescents and HIDs were all originally designed to light rooms. The manufacturers took these bulbs and added bits of impurities to get more of the colors that plants need and labeled them “grow lights”. They put off a full spectrum light. As much as 82% of the light coming out of these conventional light sources is not absorbed by plants or is in the form of UV, or IR (heat) and directly translates into wasted energy that is included in a lumen rating.
LED Grow Lights can be tuned like a computer and put off targeted single wavelength that can be used by photosynthetic organisms in the process of photosynthesis. By leaving out light plants don't need, we provide more energy savings over conventional plant grow lights.
Conventional grow lights are very hot, running from several hundred degrees to over fourteen hundred degrees Fahrenheit at the bulb's surface of HID lighting. This excess radiated heat output is then ventilated and adds to the cost to cool your home or greenhouses.
LED grow lights are merely warm to the touch, even after operating for hours, greatly reducing your supplemental cooling costs.
Longer Bulb Life- The expected LED bulb life is 20,000 -100,000 hours. This is ten to fifty times longer than typical glass grow light bulb life expectations. Replacing glass bulbs every year adds a lot to the expense of a growing system. With the LED Grow Light you won't be changing expensive bulbs every year.
Lower Burn and Fire Risk- The high heat generated by a typical metal halide or high pressure sodium lamp is more than enough to ignite nearby combustible objects such as paper or cloth. Their reflectors often get very hot as well and can cause severe burns if they are accidentally touched.
LED-based grow lights operate at just a few degrees above room temperature. Just slightly warm to the touch while running, LED Grow Lights are safer to use around children and pets.
Less Fragile- The glass bulbs of other grow lights are very fragile. The LED Grow Light has no glass parts, and is much harder to break.
Less Environmental Hazard- Metallic vapor and fluorescent lamps all contain mercury, a heavy metal identified by the U.S. Government as hazardous to the environment and our landfills. LED Grow Lights contain no mercury.
No "White Light" Glare- Other plant grow lights use technologies generally used to light rooms and buildings, which makes them very bright to the human eye. The LED Grow Light delivers light that is very bright to plants, but relatively dim to people. Your plants get what they need without the "white light" glare you don't want, making our grow lights welcome in your kitchen and living room, instead of your basement.
Plants Stay Cooler- There are two types of plants, those whose chemistry works better in hot weather, like corn, and those who like it cooler, like most plants you'd choose to grow indoors. Most cooler growing plants shut down when it gets too hot to avoid losing more water than they can bring up from their roots. The LED Grow Light gives your plants all the light they need, without the heat of conventional grow lights, letting them grow quickly at room temperature.
Cuttings Root More Easily- The leaves of plant cuttings are often snipped in half to reduce water loss until new roots are formed. For cuttings of many types of plants, this isn't necessary when using the LED Grow Light. Since your cuttings aren't wilting as they are under the heat of the sun or conventional grow lights they can keep their leaves to speed new root growth.
Lower Chance of Heat Induced Root Damage- Plant roots don't like to be hot, and potted plants left in direct sun are prone to root damage where sunlight heats the surface of the pot. The same damage can occur in closed rooms with hot, conventional grow lights and inadequate ventilation. The LED Grow Light operates at such a low temperature that incidental root damage is unlikely.
Less Watering- Using the LED Grow Light, your plants will transpire less, letting you extend the time between watering cycles. If you need to leave your plants unattended for a few days they'll have a better chance of surviving if their grow lights aren't drying them out.
Good News for Terrariums and Other Plants Grown "Under Glass"- Plants with high humidity requirements, like African Violets, ferns, and many carnivorous plants, are commonly grown in Terrariums, also called Wardian Cases. Unfortunately, the combination of high humidity with the heat from most light sources, either the sun or conventional grow lights, causes a great deal of condensation on the inner surface of the glass, obscuring your view of the plants inside. By using LED Grow Lights to light your Terrariums no heat is added, over 85% of the light from the LED Grow Light passes through to your plants, and the glass stays mostly clear of condensation. Some seedlings with very high humidity requirements are grown with glass covers over their pots for a period of time. Getting enough light to these plants is a challenge, but not if you use the LED Grow Light. The LED Grow Light emits so little heat, it can be placed directly on top of the glass cover if desired.
Enjoy Delicate Blooms Longer- Flowers are very delicate, as can be seen from the spotting and edge burning they get outdoors. Richly colored rose petals fade quickly under the summer sun. This is not true when flowering plants bloom indoors under the LED Grow Light. Miniature roses have been grown with LED Grow Lights with blooms that were picture perfect and unblemished, with some varieties having flowers that lasted for months without change.
Unlike those brands of LED grow lighting which adopt specious theory but don’t perform as well as advertised, Parus exerts spent years doing tests in our own greenhouse test center and found the best lighting solutions to accelerate plant growth and control pests most efficiently by applying most appropriate wavelengths and ratio of light colors to different plants. You will find the growth of your plants accelerating amazingly by almost 90% by using Parus LED Grow Lighting just as most of our customers do. Parus is not only a supplier of LED lights, but a professional lighting advisor on growing your plants. Our technology has been patented in Korea.
Our innovative heat sink technology guarantees lower temperature for high power LED grow lighting. By using our hi-power LED grow lighting, you will get rid of cooling fans and the boring noise as you run other hi-power LED grow lights like a UFO, not to speak of the savings on your electricity bill and replacement cost. Also you will save much time on fixing the fans that break down eventually.
arus combines its advanced technology and China’s low cost and providea the best quality at a competitive price. This enables our dealers to make good profit by distributing Parus products and saves money for a customer who is an enduser or a contractor.
