ECO Farm MG8 660W Foldable LED Grow Light with OSRAM Chips VS Rapid LED FM660 LED Grow Light

Plants need the sun. Beyond water and some good dirt, it is the essential element of a plant's growth life cycle. However, not everyone has a suitable climate for growing plants. Either that or you want to grow year-round instead of only in the spring and summer.

Indoor growing operations have become standard for those with green thumbs and no tropical climate. A greenhouse or sealed room can still nourish and grow flourishing plants with artificial light.

LED grow lights are great for indoor operations that want to save on traditional lighting. Anything with a bulb will run a much higher electric bill. Full Spectrum LED grow lights allow plants to receive even more beneficial sunlight to keep them healthy and growing big and strong.

Are grow lights a fire hazard? 

As long as you keep a close eye on their temperature and don't run them 24/7, then you should have nothing to worry about.
Most indoor grow operation fires result from faulty electrical wiring or water entering the electrical system. If you keep a close eye on both of these factors, you'll keep your grow room safe from a fire.

How long should I leave my grow light on? 

Most plants work well on 12 hours on/12 hours off cycle. This time will change based on your plant's stage of life. Also, keep in mind it's possible to leave them on for only eight or 10 hours to save on electrical costs.

ECO Farm MG8 660W Foldable LED Grow Light with OSRAM Chips

Features:
This ECO Farm LED grow light is designed for vertical cultivation, which has 8 bars and creates uniform coverage by actually positioning the LEDs physically above all plants in a set area (150cm x 150cm). The specially deploved full spectrum of this LED grow light fills the negligeice of the main photoreceptors and pigments outside the 66onm and 450nm range, and it is suitable for reproduction to aging in indoor environments, which increases the radiant energy of red light at 660nm wavelength in white light. The loverall color temperature of FSG's full spectrum is controlled at 4000K.

The LED grow light itself is 110cm x 109cm x 7.2cm (tall). All plants are directly under the source of light, so you don't get hot or cold spots. And because the light isn't directed out and away from the fixture, you also lose less light to walls.And It is suitable for all growing stages including Genetics, Propagation, Vegetation and Flowering. Finally, the slim design and 180 degree foldable, so that it is easy to install.

Rapid LED FM660 LED Grow Light

Features:
This Rapid LED grow light is easy to set up and install, making it ideal for people who want reliable, out-of-the-box lighting fixtures. This strong grow light is only 600 watts, which can provide healthy, full-spectrum light for your indoor garden and cultivate high-efficiency and high-yielding plants. The Rapid LED grow light has a system-level efficiency between 2.5–2.7 umol/J, and you can choose a color temperature of 3200K or 4000K. In addition, its unique slim profile design is suitable for space-constrained applications (such as vertical agriculture). It supports connecting multiple units together, so that you can save power and dimming socket space. And it can be dimmed by any 0–10V/1–10V dimming signal. This incredible fixture has the ability to cover all stages of growth and is perfect for full cycle/vegetable/rooting (4000K) or flowering (3200K).

Features that need attention

spectrum
The best LED grow lights will be full spectrum. This means that in addition to providing red, blue, and green light, full-spectrum LED plant growth lights will also provide infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light. This will enable you to provide the correct light throughout the growth process without having to switch bulbs or use different growth lights.
As plants mature and go through the growth cycle from seedling to adulthood, then flowering and bearing fruit, they use different color spectrums, so the ideal LED light is different at each growth stage.

strength
LED grow lights will have a certain wattage. Very high wattage will produce more light than low wattage LED lights. However, just knowing how many watts the light produces is not the most useful indicator. After all, watts are just a measurement of electricity.

What you really should consider is the amount of light produced by these watts. And the wavelength being generated. Knowing how much light the LED can provide and the type of light (related to the color spectrum) that LED diodes can produce are more effective parameters that need to be considered.

efficient
As mentioned above, when comparing LED lamps with incandescent lamps and CFL bulbs, LEDs tend to be more efficient than older lighting technologies. However, not all LED plant growth lights have the same efficiency. It depends on the quality.

The fact is that a good LED structure is only 80% efficient. The remaining 20% ​​is converted into heat.

Pro tip: "Compared to the amount of light generated, higher efficiency will generate more light per watt and lower operating costs."

If you want to make sure your LED is as efficient as possible, it is okay to spend some money. Remember, these things should last for decades. This brings us to the next point, durability.

Durability
If you view the purchase of LEDs as an investment, then you will want to keep them for a long time to make them worth the money. It is best practice to purchase an LED lighting system from a trusted brand, made of high-quality materials, and protected by some kind of warranty. Rest assured, your purchase is priceless if it is protected.

Conclusion

If you want to grow plants indoors, then full spectrum LEDs are your best option. They are the lights on the market that mimic the sun's energy most effectively. Employing them in your grow room will lead to greater yields and healthier plants. If you have If you have any questions, please let me know in the comment section below.
