LED grow lights for cannabis
Best LED grow lights for cannabis - Lamps for indoor plants
LED lighting is swiftly changing the cannabis grow lamp for indoor plants market, as they’ve been progressively improving over the last few years and growers soon caught on to this. More and more efficient lighting systems are being made all the time, consuming less energy and making for much smaller electricity bills. Until just a little while ago, LED grow lights were generally used during vegetation or as an extra helping hand for HPS lights during flowering, but this has all changed recently.
Why use LED lights for your indoor marijuana plants?
Since LED lights hardly emit any heat, you can use them either outdoors or even indoors during the summer without worrying about burning your plants and without needing anything extra such as ventilation systems.
Advantages of using LED lights indoors
LED grow lights are designed for growing in the smallest of areas and marketed towards small growers – grow tents around 1.2m big will need a couple of them; with 240w you’ll manage to get almost as much as you would from one 600w bulb. You’ll also notice the buds getting harder than usual, denser and much more resinous – due to not being excessively hot thanks to how little the LED panel light actually heats up, the drops of resin accumulate all over the plant, making for a final product that is clearly a much better quality than weed grown by HPS. Another advantage is that LEDs hardly emit any heat, so you can use them indoors during the summer without worrying about burning your plants and without needing anything extra such as air conditioners. These LEDs can last over 10 years, meaning you’ll be saving on your electricity bill as well as having to replace your bulbs, and on top of all that you won’t need any cooling systems, all things that make up for the slightly above-average price – a price which is justified by the amazing benefits of this product as well as the top-quality material that it’s made out of, and the post-sales service that the EOS team offers our customers. The proof is in the pudding, and for normal growers that pay their own electricity bills these LED lights can surely save a lot of money in the long run.

LED light or LEC Light for indoor growing: what's the difference?
Now we are going to list the main differences between LED and LEC lights; in order to provide growers interested in a new lighting system, all the necessary information:
- Lifespan: LEC technology has exceeded HPS indoor grow lamps regarding durability and useful life, lasting up to two years; although it is still lower than LED grow lights, which are useful for up to 11 years. Here the winner is LED.
- Light emission: LEC lights emit UV-B rays, which permit a larger production of trichomes during the flowering period. LEDs don’t normally generate UV radiation, although some specific models do include this function. Because they mimic sunlight, they offer greater protection against fungi or other pathogens and also increase the production of resin and terpenes.
- Yield: While the ratio g/w doesn’t differ too much; LED yields can sometimes get near 2 g/w while LECs produce approximately 1.5 g/w.
- Temperature: LEC lights are up to 6 ºC (43 ºF) cooler than sodium bulbs; but LED’s can lower the temperature an extra 3-6 ºC (37-43 ºF). Both options are excellent for hot areas, but LEDs are more likely to promote a larger yield.
- Available space: As a general rule, LEC lights are more suitable for enclosed spaces with high ceilings; as the extra heating emission will compensate for the distance from the plants. LEDs on the other hand, are a better option for grow tents or small areas because they emit less heat.
- Costs: To this day, preparing a grow room with LEC bulbs is cheaper than installing grow LED lights.
Cannabis grow LEDs vs. HPS lights
LED grow lights provide a better quality yield as they have much higher efficacy than HPS lights. Also, LED lights have a longer lifespan than HPS lamps which have to be replaced after only about 8-12 months. However, HPS indoor grow lamps are much cheaper than LEDs and their pieces are easier to find and replace. But despite their cheapness, HPS requires more energy to produce the same illumination and more heat than LEDs, which means that you’ll be investing more money in ventilation.
LED Lighting systems
LED technology is becoming very important in the cannabis industry due to its capacity to increase strains’ yields and organoleptic properties while emitting less heat and saving on electricity cost. At GB The Green Brand, you can find amazing LED systems such as the , a high performance lighting system for indoor grows.
On the other hand, if you want to improve light distribution these are made for you. These LED indoor grow lamps are designed for very small growing areas where you can’t use any other type of lighting due to excess heat. It’s a full spectrum light, meaning that it can be used during both the growth and the flowering periods.
