Best LED Grow Lights For Indoor Gardening
Growing plants and flowers is tricky enough outdoors. Maintaining the right amount of water and nutrients while protecting a garden from the elements is a balancing act. Many people turn to indoor gardens to avoid the challenging growing conditions of the winter or harsh environments.
Some house plants can thrive in low light but if the plants in your indoor garden require direct sunlight or long hours of light per day, you’ll likely need a grow light for your garden. Grow lights provide the same energy to indoor plants that the sun brings to the outdoors. Without them, photosynthesis would be impossible and the plants would die.
However, with so many different styles and wattages of indoor garden lights how do you choose the best LED grow lights for plants in your home?
There are good choices for you.
The Lumatek Zeus 600W LED is a linear multi-light bar fixture producing PPF of 1380 µmol/s and a Photon Efficacy (fixture efficiency) of 2.3 µmol/J.
The array of LEDs create a uniform spread of light at short distance to the crop enabling single source grow lighting for multi-layer cultivation systems, single benches in low rooms and grow tents.
The Zeus is built using high quality Lumatek drivers and top bin LEDs from Osram and Lumileds Philips generating a full-spectrum light source ideal for veg and flowering cycles.
For different cultivars, propagation and vegetative growth periods the Zeus may be dimmed without losing efficiency. The high efficiency and low powered LED configuration with six LED bars reduces the temperature of the LEDs increasing the output and improving light maintenance.
The Zeus fixture can also be externally controlled with a Lumatek digital lighting controller featuring automated dimming, temperature safety control, Sunrise & Sunset Mode for up to 100 fixtures per controller.
