It can be difficult to choose between the
different types of grow bulbs if youre not very
knowledgeable about their attributes. LED grow
lights are a newer alternative to their more
traditional cousins, High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
lights. While HPS lights have been around for a
while and may be considered by some to be tried
and true they are significantly less efficient
than LED grow lights.

LED grow lights emit far less heat than HPS
lights, operating at 72.9F on average. This
comfortable temperature replicates natural
springtime conditions, when plants proliferate
most. 70F to 75F is the optimal temperature
range for plant growth. HPSlights, on the other
hand, operate at 95.9F on average, a temperature
that neither plants nor humans find comfortable.
Such high temperatures act on plants like high
summer, causing plant growth to slow as plants
struggle merely to survive.

Fruits and vegetables grown at the lower
temperatures of LED grow lights tend to be very
robust and flavorful. By the same token, an
excessively hot growing environment causes plants
to lose some of their nutrients and to yield less
delicious fruit. Fruit grown in such high
temperatures is also likely to be smaller, since
the plants simply do not have as much energy to
put toward fruit production.

The cost of maintaining the garden increases in
the summer because the plants need much more
water to help them survive the heat. In addition
to consuming more power than LED grow lights, HPS
lights increase growing costs due to the large
amount of water needed to keep the plants alive.
LED grow lights, on the other hand, consume less
power than HPS lights and keep other costs down
because plants require less water when grown at
more optimal temperatures.

By helping to keep growing temperatures within
the ideal range, LED grow lights encourage
superior produce. Their lower power consumption
and heat emissions also help to keep growing
costs down and reduce your carbon footprint.
Choosing the best grow lights will help you to
optimise the benefits of indoor gardening, to
yourself and the environment.
