I probably don’t need to say more about the importance of sunlight to plants.
Natural light provides plants with the necessary spectrum to promote photosynthesis and healthy growth.
But if you want to plant it outdoors, the crops (crops) can only be eaten by God.
God is not happy today. If there is a typhoon and heavy rains for several days in a row, this year's harvest will only be good bye.
What about growing indoors?
There will be no typhoon and no heavy rain inside. It sounds like a good choice, but how can we get sunshine?
Can LED plant lights replace it? Take on this important responsibility?
Let’s first understand how LED plant lights work?
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emit light through semiconductor materials and can integrate LED chips of different wavelengths to emit the precise spectrum required for plant growth and provide the specific spectrum required by plants in each growth stage.
For example, full-spectrum LED grow lights can emit a spectrum covering the entire visible light range (380 to 760 nanometers), including red and blue light during the growth and flowering stages of plants, as well as orange, yellow, green and far-red light. , meeting the light needs of plants at all stages from seedlings to growth to flowering.
Natural sunlight or LED grow lights, which one is better?
Advantages of natural sunlight
Comprehensive spectrum: Natural sunlight covers the full spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared, meeting the wavelengths required for plant growth.
No cost: Sunshine does not cost anything, does not require electricity consumption, and avoids bleeding your wallet.
Natural changes: The intensity and spectrum of sunlight change with time, season, and weather, providing a dynamic light environment that is more important for the growth cycle and physiological regulation of some plants.
Advantages of LED grow lights
All-weather and year-round planting
LED plant lights can provide a stable light source at any time and in any season, enabling year-round planting. My mother no longer has to worry about me eating fresh vegetables.
Customized spectrum
The spectrum can be customized to the specific wavelengths required based on the needs of your plants.
High energy efficiency
LED grow lights are more energy efficient than other lamps and consume less electricity.
Long life
LED lamps generally have a long life and low maintenance costs.
Intelligent control system
LED plant lights are usually equipped with a dimming control system to adjust the light intensity according to the amount of light currently required by the plant, which is much smarter than sunlight.
Generally speaking, natural sunlight is an ideal light source for plant growth, but in many current application scenarios, especially indoor planting, LED plant lights are undoubtedly better. In indoor planting, they can completely replace sunlight.
