Plant Grow Lights

What type of light is best for growing plants indoors?

Grow lights for indoor gardening are available in all different types, from incandescent to fluorescent to LED.  LED lights are the ideal choice over the alternatives for growing indoor plants because they are more efficient, emit higher quality light, and produce less heat.

Energy efficiency is one of the biggest benefits of LEDs. They use less electricity and don't need to be replaced as often as other types of bulbs, making them more cost efficient.

LEDs produce far less heat than traditional types of grow lights, which is beneficial for several reasons.  Hot lights can be harmful to plant health and can create safety concerns in your indoor space.  Plus, less heat means your plants will require less frequent watering, which prevents waste.

Do LED lights work for growing plants?

Regular LED lights may help plants grow, but LED grow lights have a full light spectrum, which is more helpful for plant growth. Regular LED bulbs and strips typically produce a white light, while LED grow lights contain red and blue light wavelengths that are necessary for general plant growth.

Full spectrum grow lights provide a simulated spectrum of sunlight alternative for indoor plants, designed to meet the needs of various plant growth processes, including germination and flowering.
