QB LED Grow Lights

Grow lights are artificial light sources designed to mimic natural sunlight and provide plants with the necessary light energy for plant growth. They are commonly used in indoor gardening and hydroponics to provide the necessary light spectrum for photosynthesis. Grow lights can be used to supplement natural sunlight or as the sole light source for plants in environments with limited access to sunlight. They come in various types, including fluorescent, LED, and high-intensity discharge (HID) lights, each offering different benefits and light spectrums tailored to different stages of plant growth.

LED grow lights are energy-efficient lights used by indoor and greenhouse farmers and Cannabis growers too. Used as either a sole light source (indoor) or supplementary (greenhouses), LEDs help plants grow using full-spectrum lighting at a lower cost than traditional HPS lamps. Many growers take advantage of LED lights to help scale plant production due to their full light spectrum capabilities, low heat waste and maintenance, and extended lifespan. And given a plant’s physiology and morphology are strongly affected by specific spectrums, LED grow lights can efficiently promote growth in crops at specific times in the growth cycle.

Scientists and plant biologists agree that LED lighting is one of the best artificial lighting options available. Plants of all kinds, including vegetables, flowers, and herbs, respond well to LED lighting during all phases of growth, from the seedling stage to maturity. LEDs emit high quality lighting that plants thrive in. "Light quality" refers to the color of light. Because LED lighting comes in a wide range of colors, it can mimic sunlight more accurately than other artificial lights. You can also adjust the color to enhance growth during specific stages, which may result in bigger and healthier plants.

Compared to fluorescent grow lights, LED Grow Lights use less energy. LEDs put off very little heat compared to other bulb technologies. LEDs last longer than many other lighting technologies. These bulbs optimize the seeds and greens stages of growth with a balanced red:blue light spectrum that appears white to the eye. These bulbs give your vegetation optimal light for flowering and fruit production with a red light spectrum that appears white to the eye. Compared to other grow lights, our light appears pleasing and natural so you can display it anywhere in your home.

Energy efficiency is one of the biggest benefits of LEDs. In the long run, LEDs are a lot more cost efficient because they use less electricity and don't need to be replaced as often as other types of bulbs. LEDs produce far less heat than traditional types of grow lights. Generating less heat is beneficial for several reasons. You won’t have to waste energy adjusting the temperature of your grow room because of hot lights. Less heat also means your plants will require less frequent watering, which prevents waste.

Adding a grow light to your plant setup will help your indoor plants thrive. Here's what you need to know about grow lights before you get started. Place grow lights within a foot of the plant. Give plants at least 12 to 14 hours of supplemental artificial lighting; do not run them around the clock. Plants need a daily rest cycle. A high-quality, full-spectrum grow light, when used correctly, can substitute for sunlight.

If a plant is getting no supplemental sunlight, the plant might need about 16 to 18 hours under the grow lights, depending on the plant's light requirements (low-light vs. high-light plants). Indoor plants require more light than most homeowners realize, and lacking natural light is an all-too-common houseplant ailment.

Aim to place your LED grow lights six to 12 inches from your plants. This will give your plants the right amount of light without overheating them. Turn your lights off about eight hours per day. As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want to use your LED lights for growing about 12-16 hours each day. Don’t be afraid to change your light set up.
