Best Plant Growing Lamps Buying Guide
Before choosing the best plant growing lamps you should consider the following options:
1. Wattage: To figure out the wattage you need, you need to calculate the square footage of the area to be lit.
Multiply the length of the area by its height to get the square footage. Divide that number by 39, the total watts in a 1000-watt light, to get the number of watts you need.
2. Lumen Output: The lumens measure the light output of the lamp. For example, a 400 Watt grow light with 2000 lumens means that it emits 2000 million photons every second.
To calculate the lumens you need, multiply the square footage of the area you are lighting by 3.5. The final figure represents the total lumens you need.
3. Spectrum of the Light: Lights with a full spectrum have a balance of red, blue, and green wavelengths. Lights with a high red or blue ratio are useful for flowering plants.
Lights with a high green ratio are ideal for vegetative growth. White light is a mix of all colors and is used in both stages.
4. Other Considerations: Look for a light with a good warranty, especially if you are using it to grow plants. Also, check if the light has a cooling system to avoid overheating.
You can also look for lights with special features such as timers, wireless remotes, and adjustable lenses. Look for lights with wavelengths that suit your plants and light intensity that suits your area.
