LED grow lamps work tirelessly and efficiently to improve the growth of indoor plants, vegetables, fruits and flowers.  Every color on the spectrum is represented in light, even if it seems to simply a white light. Plants and vegetation rely on light from the sun to grow and the photosynthesis process never stops or halts. Because of this process, it might appear that at night a flower closes up and looks as though it is sleeping, but the process continue during this time. Indoor gardeners use LED grow lamps as a way of accelerating the growth of their plants or crops in order to produce them more quickly. Because plants need the correct amount of light in order to thrive, the LED lights are a useful tool to regulate growth of vegetation indoors, throughout the winter, when the sun is not as prevalent. The dark evenings and the chilly air slow down the growth period of some seeds and vegetation but with the artificial conditions produced by LED grow lights, to emulate the sun, the plants continue their growing process.

The Growth Process

Those familiar with the formula for photosynthesis will understand how 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy à C6H12O6 + 6O2 makes the growth of a plant. Essentially it is carbon dioxide, water and light combined to make carbohydrate and oxygen. Certain types of plant life will respond differently and more positively o certain types of light. Blue LED lights tend to promote faster and healthier growth in vegetables, whereas red LED lights tend to promote excellent and accelerated growth in fruits. However, to the contrary, plants that are grown under a green light can die much faster than the others. The main reason for this spectral difference is probably due to the difference in response to pigmentation.

LED grow lights offer a wide range of light options and offer extremely high efficiency. This can not only help your plants grow well indoors but save you money on your energy bill too. LED bulbs are also mercury free and the length of bulb life makes them more cost effective in the long term as well. Indoor gardeners can put an LED grow light in a very hard to reach place, knowing that it won’t need changing for a very long time.
