In a perfect world, you'd have plenty of windows for all your houseplants to sunbathe. But if you've got a room with few windows or a dark corner, your plants aren't going to be happy. While many plants can adapt to lower light conditions, they won't look their best. Plus, they'll also be more susceptible to pests and disease. How can you tell if your plant is struggling? A plant that isn't getting sufficient light will not bloom and may drop leaves or stretch toward the light, creating an unattractive, gangly stem with sparse leaves. A grow light can solve these issues!

Common Uses For LED Grow Lights

LED plant lights are commonly used for the following applications.

Standard Gardening
LED grow lights might be used in greenhouses to supplement natural sunlight or they may be used exclusively for underground or indoor gardens.

Urban Farming
In an urban areas where space is limited, LED grow lights can completely change the way we grow food. They allow us to move to grow operations into abandoned warehouses, old subway tunnels, etc.

Algae Making
Algae is now widely used to manufacture bio-fuel and LED grow lights are perfect for growing algae. For this application, grow lights that only veg (i.e. they have mostly blueish LEDs) is perfect, so you can spend less on electricity since less power is needed for vegging. They also run cooler.

Marijuana Cultivation
This is the fastest-growing area for LED lighting and it is revolutionizing the industry. Quality LED lights produce more and higher quality yields while using less power and creating less heat. They are excellent for marijuana plants.

LED grow lights may cost more to purchase up front, but the operating costs are much lower and the resulting light output is worth more.

Costs are reduced and revenues increase. Grow operations become much more profitable. And in the past few years, home growers have been switching to LED light for their marijuana plants in huge numbers, too.

What Should I Look For in the Best Grow Lights?

Is it marketing or is it quality? What are the real benefits of LED grow lights, or the features to look for? The primary factors you should look for in LED grow lights are these.

Full Spectrum Grow Lights
The best LED grow lights deliver full-spectrum wavelengths from 380 to 840 nm. This includes blue, red, IR, and UV light for all of the growth stages.

To be sure, this recommendation is relatively new in indoor horticulture; in the past, we didn't have these kinds of lighting systems to use. However, using full-spectrum lighting for indoor grows can yield plants with more flowers and healthier buds.

Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective
LED grow lights use far less electricity, too - and the buy-in cost is still lower because LED grow lights last significantly longer. A high-quality LED light system will last for years while running 10 to 12 hours daily. Even higher wattage LED lights with their powerful output are more cost-effective because they ultimately reduce electrical use overall.

LED lights also run much cooler despite producing a greater amount of light, which means you don't need to add fans to reduce the temperature low. They are more durable and well-made, so they last longer and fail less.

Closer Control Over Your Indoor Garden
The ability to closely control light levels improves the health and yield of your plants. The ability to do so remotely yet precisely improves your quality of life, and that's where LED grow light systems come in. Tailoring your lighting cycle also saves you more money, so consider more tweaking features both a yield and cost-benefit.

PAR/Lumen Output
To achieve optimal light for your plants, aim for a balanced spectrum with a high PAR/lumen output. Typically the best way to achieve this is with a mix of 3-watt and 5-watt diodes.

Coverage
It is important to be precise in your measurements when considering the area that the lights project. Plants that receive less light will produce less and can dwarf.

Occasionally, product descriptions aren't totally accurate, so it's critical to check reviews like this one to confirm coverage.

Conclusion
We hope this article can help you provide the information you need to finally buy a new plant grow light. With so many options in the market today, it can be overwhelming to make such an important purchase.
