WHY USE LED GROW LIGHTS?
FULL SEPECTRUM - LED (Light Emitting Diode) grow lights provide supplemental lighting for
growth throughout the year. This means you can:
Start growing plants any time of year, even if they are out of season
• •
Improve overall crop quality by controlling the environment
• •
Plant anywhere you desire including your basement, garage, kitchen, or greenhouse
• •
ADVANTAGES OF LED GROW LIGHTS VS. TRADITIONAL LIGHTING
LED Grow Lights hold their brightness longer and are not susceptible to burning out since they
•
•
have no filament.
LED Grow Lights are energy efficient, creating less heat for a lower energy consumption and
• •
additional savings since there is no need to invest in cooling systems to keep the grow areas
from overheating
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
Using LED Grow Lights contributes to many things including, but not limited to:
•
•

• •
Leaf length
• •
Shoot dry weight
• •
Bud Size
• •
Leaf Size
• •
Sweetness
• •
Acidity
• •
Texture
• •

• •
RECOMMENDED DISTANCE
Plants are typically divided into high or low light level categories that depend on the PAR value.
•
•
The PAR value of a plant is the measurement of light emission that a plant can absorb. The
• •
higher the PAR, the more intense light energy the plant can absorb, thereby accelerating
vegetative and/or flowering growth.
For instance, High Light Plants such as cannabis, tomatoes, peppers, and perennials require a
• •
placement of 6 inches from seedlings through 2 weeks of vegetative state and then 16-30 inches
when they are in the vegetative or flowering state.

Whereas Low Light Plants such as herbs and leafy greens require 12 inches from the seedlings

vegetative or flowering state.
