LED lights have ushered us into a new age. In an era where energy costs are constantly on the rise, LED lights are literally a light at the end of the tunnel for consumers. But LED grow lights? Now, that’s something different right.
Indoor horticulturalists have been using artificial light for over a decade. In places where daylight hours are short, this makes business sense. Light is essential for plant growth as photosynthesis relies on light energy, of which oxygen is a by-product. But not any light bulbs will do.
Cooling system modification is important when growing plants in an indoor environment where natural environmental cooling agents are non-existent. This prevents wilting and ensures the adequate conservation of moisture.
In the same breath, high powered lighting systems require heat tolerant mounting, like steel. Plastic is never a a good idea because it has a low melting point.
