What is full spectrum LED Grow lights


Sunlight is called fullspectrum light because it includes all the wavelength ranges needed to sustain any life form on Earth. These wavelengths are infrared, visible and ultraviolet. However, the human eye can only respond to one wavelength-visible light. Full-spectrum LED plant lights generally refer to those LED grow lights whose spectrum contains visible light, infrared light and ultraviolet light.


Is full spectrum lighting good for plants?


Red light and blue light are essential for plants. Therefore, many common LED plant light only contains red and blue light. Some people think that full-spectrum LED lights are better because they can ensure that plants get all the wavelengths present in natural light. According to some studies, wavelengths other than red and blue are also beneficial for certain aspects of plant growth.


Do LED Grow Lights Really Work for Indoor Plants?


Benefits of full spectrum LED grow lights

Full-spectrum lamps is specifically used to generate wavelengths that plants absorb. A better spectrum produces healthier plants.


3. Support the entire growth cycle

Disadvantages of full spectrum LED grow light


1. Low energy efficiency


Unlike ordinary LED grow lights, the full-spectrum model consumes more energy to produce more wavelengths. Therefore, compared with other LED plant growth lamps, their energy efficiency is lower and the running cost is higher.


2. Full spectrum LED grow lights are very expensive.


Their prices are higher than ordinary LED plant growth lights as well as HID, HPS, fluorescent lights and other conventional lights. In fact, these are the most expensive types of LED plant growth lights.


Should I buy full spectrum LED grow light


It depends on what kind of plants you need to grow and the required growth stage.


For plant types


  • If you are only planting a plant, you can ask your growth lamp supplier, he will recommend a LED grow light with the best spectral ratio for you;

  • If you grow many different types of plants, then the specific spectral ratio may not be able to meet your plant growth. At this time, what you need most is a full spectrum LED grow light.


Plant growth stage


Some indoor farms are used for specific growth stages, such as seedlings. If plants are transplanted into an outdoor environment, it may not be necessary to use full-spectrum LED growth lamps. However, if you plan to plant the plant entirely in an indoor environment, then a full-spectrum lamp is the best.
