Best Plant Growing Light Fixtures Buying Guide
Before choosing the best plant growing light fixture you should consider following options:
1. Power and intensity: The first thing to consider is the amount of light the fixture produces. The rate at which plants grow is dependent on the rate at which they absorb light.
The amount of light a light produces is measured in lumens. Plant lights are measured in watts, which is a measure of energy, not light. Watts indicate the rate at which the lights produce light.
Plants absorb light in two wavelengths on the red and blue spectrums. You want to make sure the light fixture produces enough of both wavelengths to sustain plant growth.
Plants absorb red light to produce chlorophyll and to aid in photosynthesis. They absorb blue light to grow and produce flowers and fruit.
The higher the lumens, the faster the plants will grow. Higher lumens also mean that the light produces more energy, which may be beneficial if you use the light in a greenhouse or grow room.
The higher the watts, the more energy the light produces, which may be beneficial if you use the light in a greenhouse or grow room.
2. Number of lights: The second thing to consider is the number of fixtures you will need. The amount of light a light produces is measured in lumens.
This is the rate at which the lights produce light. Plants absorb light in two wavelengths on the red and blue spectrums.
You want to make sure the light fixture produces enough of both wavelengths to sustain plant growth. Plants absorb red light to produce chlorophyll and to aid in photosynthesis. They absorb blue light to grow and produce flowers and fruit.
The higher the lumens, the faster the plants will grow. Higher lumens also mean that the light produces more energy, which may be beneficial if you use the light in a greenhouse or grow room.
The higher the watts, the more energy the light produces, which may be beneficial if you use the light in a greenhouse or grow room. The number of lights in a lighting fixture determines the amount of light it produces.
A one-light fixture produces half as much light as a two-light fixture, which produces half as much light as a four-light fixture.
3. Spectrum: The third thing to consider is the color of light the fixture produces. The light produced by grow lights is similar to natural sunlight.
