19 Facts About Grow lights
2.
Grow lights are used for horticulture, indoor gardening, plant propagation and food production, including indoor hydroponics and aquatic plants.
| FactSnippet No. 978,989 |
3.
Plants or Grow lights are moved as close together as possible so that they receive equal lighting and that all light coming from the Grow lights falls on the plants rather than on the surrounding area.
| FactSnippet No. 978,990 |
4.
Metal halide lights are regularly used for the vegetative phase of plant growth, as they emit larger amounts of blue and ultraviolet radiation.
| FactSnippet No. 978,991 |
5.
High-pressure sodium Grow lights are used as a single source of light throughout the vegetative and reproductive stages.
| FactSnippet No. 978,992 |
6.
White LED grow lights provide a full spectrum of light designed to mimic natural light, providing plants a spectrum of red, blue and green.
| FactSnippet No. 978,993 |
7.
White light is rated on a spectrum in terms of Color temperature where cooler Grow lights produce more blue photons and warmer Grow lights produce more red photons.

8.
Grow lights'storically, LED lighting was very expensive, but costs have greatly reduced over time, and their longevity has made them more popular.
| FactSnippet No. 978,995 |
9.
In particular, because LED grow lights are relatively high power, LED grow lights are often equipped with cooling systems, as low temperature improves both the brightness and longevity.

10.
All HID grow lights require an electrical ballast to operate, and each ballast has a particular power rating.
| FactSnippet No. 978,997 |
11.
Ceramic metal halide Grow lights are started with a pulse-starter, just like other "pulse-start" metal halides.
| FactSnippet No. 978,998 |
12.
High-pressure sodium Grow lights are a more efficient type of HID lighting than metal halides.
| FactSnippet No. 978,999 |
13.
HPS grow lights are sold in the following sizes: 150W, 250W, 400W, 600W and 1000W.

14.
High-pressure sodium lights have a long usable bulb life, and six times more light output per watt of energy consumed than a standard incandescent grow light.
| FactSnippet No. 979,001 |
15.
Fluorescent Grow lights come in many form factors, including long, thin bulbs as well as smaller spiral shaped bulbs .
| FactSnippet No. 979,002 |
16.
Fluorescent grow lights are not as intense as HID lights and are usually used for growing vegetables and herbs indoors, or for starting seedlings to get a jump start on spring plantings.
| FactSnippet No. 979,003 |
17.
High-output fluorescent Grow lights produce twice as much light as standard fluorescent Grow lights.
| FactSnippet No. 979,004 |
18.
Compact Fluorescent Grow lights are smaller versions of fluorescent Grow lights that were originally designed as pre-heat lamps, but are now available in rapid-start form.
| FactSnippet No. 979,005 |
19.
Older LED grow lights composed solely of blue and red LEDs due to both their efficiency at converting electricity to photons and efficiency at driving photosynthesis.
