LED light bars give indoor growers great coverage and utility
LED indoor soil grow lights are one of the top options for indoor growers due to their utility and coverage.
Whereas fixtures can be bulky and difficult to fit into tight spaces, light bars are generally longer and more slender overall. This means that they fit great into high-density production facilities like most vertical farmers are using, and the increased length of the bar makes coverage more manageable and dispersed.
1) LEDs from third-party manufacturers
Although there are some really nice LEDs being made in China these days, we don’t typically recommend using Chinese light bars because there are just too many unknowns. Things like quality, warranty, and reliability are just a few of the factors we would be wary of when working with a 3rd party manufacturer.
3) Phillips Green Power LEDs
types of LED lightPhillips creates some long-lasting LED lighting technology. They’re a quality product but tend to be on the more expensive side compared to similar tech out there.

The Green Power product line includes special bars that are tailored to the grower’s specific application. Their various lights include inter-lighting, top-lighting, research testing, and even tissue culture.
6) The LumiBar LED from LumiGrow
Grow’s LumiBar is one of the few high voltage bars on the market. At 185 watts, this high tech LED bar puts out over 50 more watts than low voltage options.

Why is that important?

Because high voltage lights give growers higher light intensities with fewer bars compared to low voltage options. While more accessible for more beginner growers, low voltage light bars require more full spectrum led grow light positioned closer to your plants in order to get good production. Of course, more lights means a greater initial investment and having your lights closer to your plants can be a challenge for growers to figure out how to remove excess heat from the growing environment.

The LumiBar helps growers power their production by balancing high voltage LEDs with a complicated heat sink to pull excess heat away from your plants.
5) ECO FARM LEDs
Intravision is a fast-moving LED technology company hailing from China creating narrow bandwidth and colored lights for a wide variety of applications both in and beyond horticulture.
Their “Blades” use a powerful combination of a two-sided design with a sturdy, yet sleek structure making them a great option for vertical plane growers and those seeking to use eco farm led lights for interlighting applications like growing tomatoes.

They’ve held up very well in our own indoor vertical farming trials and are being used in vertical farming applications throughout Canada, including Modular Farms.
