LED indoor culture: choosing the right lighting

Growing indoors brings a certain advantage, in fact it allows horticulturists to free themselves from the rules of mother nature and to better control the environment of their production.
Indoor cultivation makes it possible to meet the essential need of plants for light supply. Thus, horticulturists can, with adequate horticultural lighting, optimize the yield, growth and flowering of their production.
And to meet this type of need, LED lamp systems are ideal.

LED technology

The term LED comes from the English “light-emitting-diode”, more commonly called in French a light-emitting diode.
The light-emitting diode emits light when an electric current passes through it, the current being sent in only one direction. The light-emitting diode is an easy component to mount on a printed circuit, if we combine this data with its low consumption, its mechanical resistance, its long lifespan as well as its small size this makes it an increasingly inevitable component in our current society. Thanks to the quality of their light output, light-emitting diodes could represent 75% of the domestic and automotive lighting market before 2020.
These types of horticultural lighting are omnipresent in the indoor growing environment, these recognized solutions adapt to the needs of horticulturists. In addition, these systems are equipped with standards, which represents for the user a guarantee of performance and power.
Light-emitting diodes are at the center of research and technological innovations, whether in terms of quality or design in the world of indoor culture.

Why choose an LED lamp?

In order to properly equip your growing room and optimize the growth and flowering of your plants, you need to choose your lighting system carefully, so why choose an LED lamp?

Plant Safety and Health

Unlike traditional lighting, LED lamps do not emit high heat emissions. This makes the systems much healthier for your indoor crops, which also makes them less dangerous to handle and since the light emitting diodes heat up much less, this reduces the equipment needed to cool them, therefore less energy.

Energy saving

Due to their technology, LED lamps manage to consume much less electricity than traditional systems. Alternatives like compact fluorescent or halogen produce much more heat and consume more energy. Light-emitting diode technology offers lower power consumption than power output, ideal for lighting your growing room efficiently while maintaining a good yield/consumption ratio.

Lifetime

Light-emitting diode technology provides a lifespan 3 to 5 times longer than most traditional lighting systems. LED lamps guarantee nearly 50,000 hours of efficient lighting, or approximately 20 years of use if you use the system 7 hours a day.

Ideal to install in your grow room, LED horticultural lighting combines the essential qualities to promote the growth and flowering of your production and thus improve your yield.
