New to LED grow lighting? Consider these 5 things when investing in your new or existing project “L-O-G-I-C”
LONGEVITY
Thermal management is essential for maximizing light output, reliability and lifetime of an LED fixture. Passively cooled fixtures are typically better suited for the harsh conditions of indoor growing environments.
OPTIMIZED Performance
Look for fixtures that are engineered specifically for horticultural applications. Factors to consider include light intensity (µmol/m²/s), fixture efficiency (µmol/J); light distribution and spectral recipes.
GUARANTEED Quality
Watch for exaggerated claims. A reputable manufacturer will offer a complete system warranty, with a guaranteed lifetime of 25,000hrs photon flux maintenance of 90% at ambient operating temperatures typical of a horticultural environment.
Return on INVESTMENT
ROI for LED lighting is different for every grower. Therefore payback calculations for LED lighting are only useful when they apply specifically to your situation. Look for a manufacturer who will provide a custom light plan that considers all the factors specific to your application.
COST (LED grow lighting)
