Greater Efficiency: Usually, LED lights to use up less energy than other types of grow lights. That means you’ll spend less money on your electric bill and have a smaller carbon footprint. LEDs also last longer than fluorescent or HID lights, so you won’t have to replace them often.
Longer Lifespan: As mentioned above, LEDs last longer than other types of grow lights. You’ll get at least 50,000 hours out of a good LED grow light before it needs replacing, and some LEDs can even keep running well past 60,000 hours.
Cooler Temperature: LEDs also generate much less heat than other types of grow lights. If you’re running your lights in a small home or apartment, that’s great news because it means you won’t have to worry about excessive heat damaging your house. However, be careful if you live in a hot climate because your LED grow lights may not be able to stay cool enough on their own. Investing in an LED fan and other cooling tools may be a good idea.
The Full Spectrum: LEDs can produce a wide range of wavelengths that allow your plants to get all of their nutritional needs. That’s why LEDs are becoming so popular among indoor gardeners: they make it easy to maintain an ideal growing environment, which leads to bigger and better harvests.
