How far should my 300w LED be from plants?

For seedlings, LED grow lights should generally be mounted between 24-36 inches above the plant canopy – however, this depends on the power (wattage) of the light source.

Can you use LED grow lights in a greenhouse?

Philips LED Flowering Lamp is an energy-efficient greenhouse lighting alternative to incandescent or HPS fixtures for day length extension. The Flowering Lamp can reduce energy costs by up to 80 percent over traditional incandescent lamps. It is ideal for photoperiod-sensitive plants.

What wattage is best for growing plants indoors?

3 Because this is a bit complicated to figure out, wattage is a useful tool to determine the correct fixture for your plants. The rule of thumb is that you need 32 watts per square foot, so most indoor plants (especially herbs) will do just fine with a lower-watt light.

Which light is best for greenhouse?

For greenhouse crop production, the ratio of red to far-red light is most important for effectively controlling flowering. Incandescent bulbs have been the industry standard for low-intensity photoperiodic lighting and are very effective due to the ratio of red and far-red light emitted.

What’s the best lighting for a greenhouse?

HPS lighting remains the most popular choice with a proven track record for growers. Providing bright, intense light and has a reasonably long lifespan. Here are some quick fact about HPS lighting for greenhouse crops: Provides a good spectrum (mix of light colors) proven to work well for plants.

Are all LED lights full spectrum?

Often referred to a purple, or blurple, LEDs, the manufacturers of these lights refer to them as “full spectrum”. But they are not. Even if they have diodes in many other colors, they are not really full spectrum.

Are LED lights good for indoor plants?

Offering low energy usage, low heat, and color optimized for growth, LED lights are the most efficient, effective, and customer-friendly way to grow plants at home than growing with fluorescent lights or incandescent lights.

Are full spectrum lights safe?

Full-spectrum light sources will not provide better health than most other electric light sources. Recent research has shown that human daily activities are strongly influenced by the solar light/dark cycle.

Are full spectrum lights the same as grow lights?

Full-spectrum grow lights are specially made to provide this spectrum, but standard fluorescent bulbs often only provide light in the blue spectrum while incandescent lights primarily provide red spectrum light. You can almost equal the quality of sunlight with grow lights if you only use full-spectrum bulbs.
